How to execute "SHOW GLOBAL STATUS" queries in Laravel?

I want to get status information using Laravel. In short, I want to execute commands like show global status like "Com_select"; and store data in a variable. But I am facing an issue.

When I try to execute commands like show global status like "Com_select"; using DB:: statement() command, It returns boolean like true. I don't know why so but it does.

When I try to do this using DB::raw(), It just stores the query in variable. I was never a fan of DB::raw() because if it's weird behavior.

Is there any way to get this done directly from laravel?
