1549970 - [remote-dbg-next] Record detailed telemetry events for connection attempts

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: about:debugging, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

Right now about:debugging will only capture the overall state of the connected runtimes and devices whenever a device/runtime connects or disconnects.

However we don't keep track of individual connection attempts so we won't know the percentage of successful/failed connections.

This is a very important metric for us since one of the goals of the new remote debugging is to improve the connection workflow for our users.

DATA COLLECTION REVIEW RESPONSE:

    Is there or will there be documentation that describes the schema for the ultimate data set available publicly, complete and accurate?

Yes. This collection is Telemetry so is documented in its definitions file [Events.yaml](https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/toolkit/components/telemetry/Events.yaml) and the [Probe Dictionary](https://telemetry.mozilla.org/probe-dictionary/).

    Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off?

Yes. This collection is Telemetry so can be controlled through Firefox's Preferences.

    If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?

Yes, Harald Kirschner is responsible.

    Using the category system of data types on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?

Category 2, Interaction.

    Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?

Default on for all channels.

    Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers?

No.

    Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice?

Yes.

    Does there need to be a check-in in the future to determine whether to renew the data?

No. This collection is permanent.
