1566395 - Review expired scalars for the inspector

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Inspector, task, P3)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

We have several expired telemetry probes for various inspector features. We should either remove them entirely or update their expiry.

Scalars:

• devtools.copy.unique.css.selector opened (expired in 59) (searchfox)
• devtools.copy.full.css.selector opened (expired in 59) (searchfox)
• devtools.copy.xpath opened (expired in 59) (searchfox)
• devtools.inspector three_pane_enabled (expired in 65) (searchfox)

Cross posting comment from :mbalfanz on the meta bug 1566383

(In reply to Martin Balfanz [:mbalfanz] from Bug 1566383 comment #3)

The three expiring probes for the changes view devtools.changesview.* can be removed.

devtools.inspector.three_pane_enabled should ideally be extended as we will introduce some changes soon.

devtools.copy.unique.css.selector.opened, devtools.copy.full.css.selector.opened and devtools.copy.xpath.opened I'd like to extend as well, though I'm not listed as responsible for them :D

just checking, :mbalfanz, will you be responsible for monitoring these probes? i see that :jdescottes has added you to the alerts for the probes.

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 [Scalars.yaml](https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/toolkit/components/telemetry/Scalars.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, :mbalfanz 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.
