1460317 - Whitelist Telemetry health probes for GeckoView

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Alessio Placitelli [:Dexter]]

We need to whitelist probes (in GeckoView) that are used to check the health of the Telemetry core: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5ff2d7683078c96e4b11b8a13674daded935aa44/toolkit/components/telemetry/Scalars.yaml#1161-1273

We don't seem to have histograms for that.

We may also wish to include TELEMETRY_* histograms (send failures, successful send sizes, perf timings, etc)

We're not loading our Telemetry*.jsm files in GeckoView, so they *shouldn't* get set. As far as I know, the GV API isn't using these histograms (they are responsible for packing pings and sending them out in Java).

Hey Sebastian,

do you know if the API assembling pings for GeckoView is populating any TELEMETRY_SEND_* histogram?

We went for whitelisting all the probes in bug 1462389, so this bug is no longer relevant. Closing this as wontfix.
