1668199 - Add telemetry probes for ETP heuristics

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, task, P1)

Description

[Tim Huang[:timhuang]]

We would like to add telemetry probes in order to monitor the performance of the ETP heuristics. We want to answer the following questions.

• How often the heuristics grant storage permissions?
• Why are the storage permissions granted? (Which heuristic, storage access API, etc)
• How long will the storage permissions expire?

Attachment: Bug 1668199 - Part 1: Add telemetry probe 'STORAGE_ACCESS_GRANTED_COUNT'. r?dimi

This 'STORAGE_ACCESS_GRANTED_COUNT' telemetry probe would record the
count of gratned storage access. And it would also record the reason
why the storage access has been granted.

Attachment: Bug 1668199 - Part 2: Add Telemetry probe 'STORAGE_ACCESS_REMAINING_DAYS'. r?dimi

This patch add the telemetry probe 'STORAGE_ACCESS_REMAINING_DAYS' which
collects the remaining days of storage permissions. This probe will be
collected once a day when the 'idle-daily' oberver was issued.

Depends on D92555

Default on for all channels.

Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers?
