This bug is for implementing putting scalars into the new-profile-ping and adding the startup.profile_selection_reason to it (while also keeping it in the main ping).

Priority: P2 → P1
Attached file Data Collection Review
Attachment #9082950 - Flags: data-review?(chutten)

Here's the patch for adding scalars to the new profile ping as well as adding the one metric you want. I also did the data collection review request
However, the data is set to expire in version 72. That is rather soon. Do you want to extend it? If so I can just do that in the same patch and data collection review.

Comment on attachment 9082950 [details] Data Collection Review The answers to 3 and 4 are inconsistent (if you can answer this question with a SQL join, you can answer this question with current instrumentation) but this collection will avoid the cost of these queries. 1) Is there or will there be **documentation** that describes the schema for the ultimate data set in a public, complete, and accurate way? Yes, in Scalars.yaml. I filed https://github.com/mozilla/probe-dictionary/issues/60 to additionally represent which stores probes are collected into in the probe dictionary. 2) Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off? Yes, the [Firefox telemetry opt-out](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-data-mozilla-help-improve-firefox). Users have a 30 minute window to disable telemetry before the new-profile ping is sent. 3) If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time? n/a 4) Using the **[category system of data types](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection)** on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under? Category 2, interaction data. 5) Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off? Default-on. 6) Does the instrumentation include the addition of **any *new* identifiers** (whether anonymous or otherwise; e.g., username, random IDs, etc. See the appendix for more details)? No. 7) Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice? Yes. 8) Does there need to be a check-in in the future to determine whether to renew the data? (Yes/No) Jan-Erik and George are responsible for renewing the probe as needed. 9) Does the data collection use a third-party collection tool? No.

Yeah I'd say we should extend it given how soon it's expiring. I'm not sure how the extension process works in terms of when to extend to / who decides. Let me know if I need to do involve someone and I will.

From data stewardship's POV: extending it six months (about five versions) is typical.

Tim, would you be so kind to acknowledge the expiry extension in the data review. Thanks! (Nothing else in there changed, the code patch is also changed now)
