1635668 - Send Account Ecosystem Telemetry pings when the user is not signed in with FxA

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Ryan Kelly [:rfkelly]]

The initial landing of Account Ecosystem Telemetry pings will only send them for signed-in users, since that's all we need for our first milestone and it will help de-risk the landing; ref Bug 1635659.

This bug tracks the work to start sending them for all clients, regardless of whether the user is signed in with their Firefox Account. In such cases the ecosystemAnonId field of the ping will be absent, but otherwise the metrics will be the same as in the signed-in case.

The current pre-account ping has this note about how, for really short browser sessions in which FxA/sync don't get exercised, it will send a ping without the uid.

I think we should explicitly avoid copying that over to the new ecosystem ping, preferring not to send a ping at all than to send one that might incorrectly indicate its signed-in state.

We're no longer pursuing this approach for AET, closing out the remaining bugs.
