1635679 - Glean: Enable application id org.mozilla.rocket ; id org.mozilla.rocket.beta

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Data Platform and Tools :: General, task, P1)

Description

[shsu]

In Telemtry, we have these two columns
normalized_app_name='Zerda'
metadata.uri.app_update_channel='preview'
What are the columns we will use in Glean?
Could we see the Glean data set?
Thank you!

Just confirmed with Alessio.
We'll need two application ids.

for Firefox Lite production:
org.mozilla.rocket

for Firefox Lite preview/nightly
org.mozilla.rocket.beta

Hi Wendy and thanks for reaching out!

In Glean applications are distinguished using application ids rather than names. The reason why we do that is that app stores usually allow only for unique app ids, so we can guarantee that forked applications will not mistakenly send telemetry our way.

With that said, the application id is automatically detected by the Glean SDK by extracting the package name from the context passed to Glean.initialize. For the Firefox Lite case, this maps to
the two ids you listed in the bug title (i.e. org.mozilla.rocket and org.mozilla.rocket.beta), given your build.gradle file. There are other app ids declared, but they have a debug suffix and seem to be aimed at developers.

What are the columns we will use in Glean?

Different application ids will end up in different product specific tables. The schema is the same for all the Glean-powered products. For example, here's a sample query for org.mozilla.fenix.nightly: https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/69326/source

Could we see the Glean data set?
Thank you!

See the query above! Please let me know if anything is needed or if we can help in any other way :-)

Are "preview" and "nightly" referring to the same app here, or is there some distinction between the two? If so, how can we tell the difference if they're using the same app ID?

"preview" and "nightly" are the same app

Then it sounds like we just have two apps (production and non-production) and we will be able to tell the difference between the two by app_id.

Yes. There will only be 2 apps.

Closing, we can re-open if this is still needed.
