+## Tracking Deployments
+
+GitLab provides a Rake task that lets you track deployments in GitLab
+Performance Monitoring. This Rake task simply stores the current GitLab version
+in the GitLab Performance Monitoring database.
+
+For Omnibus-packages:
+
+```
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:track_deployment
+```
+
+For installations from source:
+
+```
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:track_deployment RAILS_ENV=production
+```

lib/tasks/gitlab/track_deployment.rake

+namespace :gitlab do
+  desc 'GitLab | Tracks a deployment in GitLab Performance Monitoring'
+  task track_deployment: :environment do
+    metric = Gitlab::Metrics::Metric.
+      new('deployments', version: Gitlab::VERSION)
+
+    Gitlab::Metrics.submit_metrics([metric.to_hash])
+  end
+end
