1357771 - Enable probe comparisons to total number of sessions etc.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Data Platform and Tools :: General, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Georg Fritzsche [:gfritzsche]]

Currently the aggregator & TMO dashboard use the model of "proportion of sessions this measurement was actively recorded in".
This problem exists for all probe types.

Most users are actually interested in proportions like:
- how many total received sessions a probe was submitted in
- how many users users submitted/used this


Frank suggested on bug 1356232:
> We could add a pseudo-probe to aggregates.t.m.o that is simply the total number of pings

> front-end) to add that in to viewing, either as a denominator or displayed as a count
> itself. Only caveat is the name could not clash with any other probes.
