AppSignal for Ruby: Notify of deploy

Warning: This method of notifying AppSignal of deploys is deprecated. Please use the new revision config option instead. Read our deploy marker section for more information on how to create deploy markers.

Command line tool to send a "Deploy Marker" for an application to AppSignal.

Deploy markers are used on AppSignal.com to indicate changes in an application, "Deploy markers" indicate a deploy of an application.

Incidents for exceptions and performance issues will be closed and reopened if they occur again in the new deploy.

Note: The same logic is used in the Capistrano integration. A deploy marker is created on each deploy.

This tool is available since version 0.2.5 of the AppSignal Ruby gem.

Please read our documentation on Deploy markers for recommended alternative methods of sending deploy markers to AppSignal.
