Hello,

I need guidance on how to request a feature request for a module called newrelic\_deplyment.

i have submitted this but it has been rejected.

Feature Idea  
COMPONENT NAME  
UI  
SUMMARY  
New feature for existing Ansibile Module called newrelic\_deployment  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/newrelic\_deployment\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/newrelic_deployment_module.html)

Is it possible to add the timestamp variable to the Ansible Module newrelic\_deployment?

ENVIRONMENT  
AWX version: 3.5.3  
AWX install method: linux  
Ansible version: 2.8.6  
Operating System: Red Hat Linux  
Web Browser:  
STEPS TO REPRODUCE  
Run the Module

EXPECTED RESULTS  
I expect the timestamp to be sent to the New Relic API to record the deployment at the time sent in the timestamp variable.

ACTUAL RESULTS  
I have been using the module newrelic-deployment.  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/newrelic\_deployment\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/newrelic_deployment_module.html)

New Relic API now has the ability to accept a timestamp, see below.  
[https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apm/new-relic-apm/maintenance/record-monitor-deployments](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apm/new-relic-apm/maintenance/record-monitor-deployments)

When I set the the timestamp variable in my yaml as below, it is then passed to the New Relic API but does not record the time submitted in the timestamp variable. It records it at the date and time the API received it from Ansible Tower, which is incorrect.

Is it possible to add the timestamp variable to the Ansible Module newrelic\_deployment?

The timestamp variable is a string, and is manually added when running the playbook.  
The timestamp variable is not taken from the operating system.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  
The purpose of the timestamp variable is to be able to add a retrospective record in New Relic.  
for example, if I run the playbook t at 14th January 2020,10:00 UTC, it will record this in New Relic with the time the New Relic API received the requested.  
Let’s say the current date/times is 14th January 2020,10:00 UTC and we want to need to record a deployment in New Relic, but the deployment was done 8 hours ago at 02:00 UTC  
We would then use the timestamp variable with 14th January 2020, 02:00 (this is of course not in the required format)
