1672585 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 85: migration.uninstaller_profile_refresh

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Installer, task)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 85 [1].

migration.uninstaller_profile_refresh

What to do about this:

1. If one, some, or all of the metrics are no longer needed, please remove them from their definitions files (Histograms.json, Scalars.yaml, Events.yaml).
2. If one, some, or all of the metrics are still required, please submit a Data Collection Review [2] and patch to extend their expiry. There is a shorter form for data collection renewal [3].

If you have any problems, please ask for help on the #fx-metrics Slack channel or the #telemetry Matrix room at https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#telemetry:mozilla.org. We'll give you a hand.

Romain, do you know if we are planning any more analysis of the uninstaller profile refresh that would need this probe to be kept around? If it is needed, please fill out the renewal review form, and I can take care of updating the .yaml in-tree. If not needed, I can provide a patch to remove it.

Reminder: There is one week left to renew the probe or to remove it and fix the tests which depend on it.

Ignore comment 2, no test depends on this.

Hello, super sorry for delay there (PTO in the middle). I'd like to keep the probe to keep an eye on the refresh trends as part of the install/uninstall health metrics (https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/dashboard/windows-stub-installer-health-metrics) but also so we can benchmark VS uninstallation ping telemetry to assess share of users using the refresh feature (i.e how critical, is ther refresh feature inside the uninstaller).
