1233298 - Telemetry for FxAccountsClient includes query params in the key.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Firefox Accounts, defect, P1)

Description

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

If you look at telemetry dashboards for FXA_SERVER_ERROR, at least one "path" is reported as /account/status?uid=..., which implies all telemetry reported by this module will include query params in the "key", making some analysis somewhere between difficult and impossible :) Fortunately this seems rare, and it may be we remove other otherwise tweak these probes, but it's worth having this in a bug.

This probe was removed in bug 1236383.

We should make sure other paths omit the query params, though.

Yeah - that bug is leaving one probe using the path as a key - it probably never has query params today but they could slip in tomorrow, so I think we should still sanitize it.

I don't really see the value in a new public method on hawk just for this one probe. We know |path| must be a string here, so can we consider (say) a regex that strips anything past a '?' or '#'? It looks like it would then be a 1 line change.

why is this change necessary as part of this patch?

Works for me. I considered using a regex, but `RESTRequest` parses the string into an `nsIURI`, so I thought we might as well convert early.

This adds a `service` query param to the path.
