1536565 - Implement a full Firefox Origin Telemetry Prototype

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Chris H-C :chutten]

This bug is about turning the proposed design from bug 1522660 and the skeleton implementation from bug 1530481 into a fully-operational Proof-of-Concept Prototype implementation.

This means we'll need

• A ping assembly, scheduling, and sending mechanism
• about:telemetry support
• Data Collection Review for the ping dimensions (of which there are very few: Common Ping Format, Version, and Reason)
• Documentation (needed for the Data Collection Review)
• More Tests
• Support for more than 2046 origins for a given metric

We may also benefit from

• Definitions files for the origins list and metrics list (will allow us to leverage compile-time string tables and maps instead of constructing them at init)

By the end of this we should have a fully-tested and documented implementation that can be used by our prototype consumer (Content Blocking).

This implementation will be pref'd or #define'd to be Nightly-only for the moment.

All blocking changes are resolved.
