1024021 - Get telemetry working in the child process

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, defect, P2)

Description

[Bill McCloskey [inactive unless it's an emergency] (:billm)]

Right now telemetry is disabled in the child process:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/telemetry/Telemetry.cpp#1233

We'll somehow need to package up the data and send it to the parent.

[Brad Lassey [:blassey] (use needinfo?)]

Jim, are you already working on this for BHR on B2G?

Comment 2

[(inactive) Jim Chen [:jchen] [:darchons]]

Not for the child process. We can use this bug.

Comment 3

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Moving old M2 P2 bugs to M4.

Comment 4

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

oops: old M2 P2 bugs should have been moved to new M4 milestone, not M6.

Comment 5

[Allison Naaktgeboren :ally]

this has turned into a giant meta bug. Snorp is leading the effort afaik.

Comment 6

[Jim Mathies [:jimm]]

Jim, what's left to do here?

Comment 7

[Bill McCloskey [inactive unless it's an emergency] (:billm)]

My understanding is that we're sending all the telemetry data collected in the child processes in a special section of the telemetry ping data. It sounds like the one thing that's missing is to hook that data into a dashboard.

If that's the case, can we untrack this from m6? Sounds like the client engineering job is complete.

Yeah I think the client work is complete -- or at least we're sending stuff.
