Capistrano::Graphite

This gem works with Capistrano v3.0.0 and above and was based off the work on this gem which works with Capistrano v2.x.

Adding this gem to Capistrano extends functionality by pushing events to graphite upon deployment and rollback. Currently events are only pushed after deploy:updated and deploy:reverted.

Some information on events can be found in this article.

Install it manually:

$ gem install capistrano-graphite

Otherwise, add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano-graphite'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Add the following line to your Capfile.

require "capistrano/graphite"

Path to your graphite instance. Port and user:password are optional.

set :graphite_url, "http://user:password@example.com:8000/events/"

Disable sending events for a particular stage by setting the following:

set :suppress_graphite_events, "true"      # This is set to false by default

Note that the config graphite_enable_events was deprecated in version 1.0.0.

Optionally, override the rest of graphite settings:

set :graphite_event_user, ENV.fetch('USER', 'unknown')
set :graphite_event_data, -> { fetch(:graphite_event_user) }
set :graphite_event_tags, -> (action) do
  [fetch(:application), fetch(:stage), release_timestamp, action].join(',')
end
set :graphite_event_msg, -> (action) do
  "#{action} #{fetch(:application)} in #{fetch(:stage)}"
end

You can run the following on it's own assuming you have configured the graphite url

$ bundle exec cap <stage> deploy:post_graphite['deploy']
