1187000 - No graphical way to display e10s data in perfherder compare view

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management :: Perfherder, defect)

Description

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8)]

looking at two revisions which I know has e10s data:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/perf.html#/compare?originalProject=mozilla-central&originalRevision=8d262d1d0ae5&newProject=mozilla-central&newRevision=15155971639c

I do not see any reference to e10s.  We have a url option &e10s=1 which doesn't work right now, but we should make a checkbox or link to avoid the magic url param discovery thing.

Just pushed a change that makes "&e10s=1" work. You can see this on stage:

https://treeherder.allizom.org/perf.html#/compare?originalProject=mozilla-central&originalRevision=8d262d1d0ae5&newProject=mozilla-central&newRevision=15155971639c&e10s=1

Is there any reason we shouldn't just show everything by default? I'd rather do that than have a confusing checkbox that only actually works for some branches.

I vote for showing everything by default.  Although it will make the list a LOT longer.

Comment 3

[William Lachance (:wlach)]

As an alternative, I suppose if we find e10s results we could show a banner in the actual compare view with two options:

[ Show everything ] [ Show e10s only ] [ Show only non-e10s ]

Thoughts?

ideally compare view will be redone to show a lot of simple filters:
* e10s +-
* pgo +-
* ignoreNoData
* ignore minor changes

and maybe more.

Maybe just a row of filter elements to show/hide the different options?

See a screenshot for details.

CC'ing :bwinton and :avih for second and third opinions.

I _think_ right now e10s is only PGO, so it should probably be: opt / pgo / pgo(e10s) ?

If in the future we'd also have opt(e10s), then we could add that too.

In general, I'm not a fan of options, but I think I need more context here before saying one way or the other.  (Grab me some time tomorrow?)

Updating the description to show the actual problem.

This keeps on biting people so I'm going to address it this week, when I return from holiday tomorrow anyway.

Picking this up again.

This PR should fix the immediate issue while we figure out a better interface for filtering, etc.

Bug 1187000 - Always show e10s data in compare view

We can add some kind of a filtering interface later, but until that's
ready it's confusing to just not display it unless people specify
a magic flag (e10s=1).

Let's resolve this. I filed bug 1215617 to deal with the issue of creating a proper filtering interface for the compare view.
