1260270 - Whitelist IPCFatalErrorProtocol and IPCFatalErrorMsg field to be public in Metadata tab

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[Andrew McCreight [:mccr8]]

Bug 1191976 added these fields. It would be nice to be able to see them in crash stats because while they mostly correspond to the particular crash stack, the line numbers are in generated code, making it hard to figure out where exactly they were.

Here are some example crash reports:

Done! Both fields are whitelisted and added to SuperSearch as `ipc_fatal_error_msg` and `ipc_fatal_error_protocol`. 

Here's an example in SuperSearch: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?product=Firefox&ipc_fatal_error_msg=!__null__&_facets=ipc_fatal_error_msg&_facets=ipc_fatal_error_protocol&_columns=ipc_fatal_error_msg&_columns=ipc_fatal_error_protocol

Note that the `ipc_fatal_error_msg` facet will start working next week, since I had to change the mapping of that field. At the moment it shows no data.

Andrew, 
Perhaps Adrian's response was confusing. But we try to kill two birds with one stone. The list of fields SuperSearch uses is re-used for the index page where we list all keys and values under the Metadata tab. 

So if something gets whitelisted for search it also becomes a new row on the Metadata page.

Thanks!
