1639454 - Introduce telemetry for the Compatibility side panel

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Inspector: Compatibility, task, P2)

Description

[Jan Honza Odvarko [:Honza] (always need-info? me)]

This is a follow up for bug 1625132.

The Compatibility side panel usage is currently using the following telemetry:

DEVTOOLS_CUSTOM_TIME_ACTIVE_SECONDS;
DEVTOOLS_CUSTOM_OPENED_COUNT;

We should introduce specific telemetry for it:
DEVTOOLS_COMPATIBILITYVIEW_OPENED_COUNT
DEVTOOLS_COMPATIBILITYVIEW_TIME_ACTIVE_SECONDS

See this function:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/61fceb7c0729773f544a9656f474e36cd636e5ea/devtools/client/shared/telemetry.js#720-796

Martin, do you see any data for: DEVTOOLS_CUSTOM_TIME_ACTIVE_SECONDS & DEVTOOLS_CUSTOM_OPENED_COUNT ? Perhaps this could be useful until we introduce the new telemetry.

[Martin Balfanz [:mbalfanz]]

Yes, I do see data for this probe. I'll add it to the LayoutTools Dashboard

Comment 3

[Jan Honza Odvarko [:Honza] (always need-info? me)]

Cool

I think that we should still introduce specific probe for the Compat panel since DEVTOOLS_CUSTOM_TIME_ACTIVE_SECONDS & DEVTOOLS_CUSTOM_OPENED_COUNT are used for all custom panels (some panels could be added by extensions). It's a fallback used for all panels that don't have their own probe.

Martin, WDYT?

[Martin Balfanz [:mbalfanz]]

Yes, we definitely need to introduce a probe specific to the webcompat panel. The data I see is flawed in that there is more history than I should see, so I can't be sure what exactly collected the data.

Great, thanks Martin.

Daisuke, it would be awesome to land this yet in 78 (if possible) to start collecting the data.
(note that the 78 soft freeze is next week Thursday).

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 Histograms.json and Events.yaml as aggregated by 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.

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

Honza will monitor the probes.

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?

No, this is a permanent collection.

9) Does the data collection use a third-party collection tool?

No.
