To make my life a lot easier, I prepared a custom Laravel command that sends to New Relic the new deployment information. The beauty of this command comes from the ability to run it whenever I deploy my code, as it only requires the ability to run a '''php artisan app:deploy-mark''' and the availability of git to retrieve the version (eventually, we could change it to something almost unique as the current date-time). php artisan app:deploy-mark''' Here's the entire file of the command: $apikey,
                    ])->post($url, [
                        'query' => 'mutation {changeTrackingCreateDeployment(
                            deployment: {
                            version: "' . $dep_rev . '",
                            entityGuid: "' . $app_id . '" }
                            ) {
                                deploymentId
                                entityGuid
                        }}'
                    ]);
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            $this->error("There was an error: " . $e->getMessage());
            return false;
        }

        if ($result->successful()) {
            $this->info("Newrelic result" . $result->body());
        } else {
            $this->warn("Newrelic result" . $result->body());
        }

        return $result->successful();
    }
} $apikey,
                    ])->post($url, [
                        'query' => 'mutation {changeTrackingCreateDeployment(
                            deployment: {
                            version: "' . $dep_rev . '",
                            entityGuid: "' . $app_id . '" }
                            ) {
                                deploymentId
                                entityGuid
                        }}'
                    ]);
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            $this->error("There was an error: " . $e->getMessage());
            return false;
        }

        if ($result->successful()) {
            $this->info("Newrelic result" . $result->body());
        } else {
            $this->warn("Newrelic result" . $result->body());
        }

        return $result->successful();
    }
} To make it work, I added a first entry in the services.php config file: 'newrelic' => [
        'user_key' => env('NEWRELIC_USER_KEY', null),
        'app_id' => env('APP_ID_NEWRELIC', null),

] 'newrelic' => [
        'user_key' => env('NEWRELIC_USER_KEY', null),
        'app_id' => env('APP_ID_NEWRELIC', null),

] Then, I simply add my values inside the .env file like this: NEWRELIC_USER_KEY=
APP_ID_NEWRELIC= NEWRELIC_USER_KEY=
APP_ID_NEWRELIC= Now, when I need to track a deployment, I simply add a final step - executing a simple `ph artisan app:deploy-mark.` This command is flexible enough to be used in many different CI/CD pipeline stacks, so if you end up using it, please leave a comment with your usage. I'm curious to see how it can be used.
