Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Migration, task, P3)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 86 [1].

FX_MIGRATION_ENTRY_POINT
FX_MIGRATION_SOURCE_BROWSER
FX_MIGRATION_ERRORS
FX_MIGRATION_USAGE
FX_MIGRATION_BOOKMARKS_IMPORT_MS
FX_MIGRATION_HISTORY_IMPORT_MS
FX_MIGRATION_LOGINS_IMPORT_MS
FX_MIGRATION_LOGINS_JANK_MS

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.

Request for Data Collection Renewal

** This form is for the renewal of an existing, reviewed data collection.**

** All questions are mandatory.
You must receive Data Review from a
Data Steward
on a filled-out Request before shipping your renewed data collection.**

1. Provide a link to the initial Data Collection Review Request for this collection.

For:

FX_MIGRATION_ENTRY_POINT

FX_MIGRATION_ERRORS
FX_MIGRATION_USAGE

FX_MIGRATION_LOGINS_IMPORT_MS
FX_MIGRATION_LOGINS_JANK_MS
FX_MIGRATION_LOGINS_QUANTITY

Most recent renewal prior to renewal forms was:
https://bug1584261.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=9095913

For

FX_MIGRATION_SOURCE_BROWSER
FX_MIGRATION_BOOKMARKS_IMPORT_MS
FX_MIGRATION_HISTORY_IMPORT_MS
FX_MIGRATION_BOOKMARKS_QUANTITY
FX_MIGRATION_HISTORY_QUANTITY

I couldn't find separate forms, despite them having been renewed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1606205 in part referring to that renewal (which only mentioned logins-specific items.

In terms of the data collection types etc., the _QUANTITY and _MS histograms have the same kind of impact as the ones for logins. That leaves the source browser one, which was renewed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1523179 pointing to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731025#c35 which was pre-form. But basically, that probe just records which browser the user imported data from.

2. When will this collection now expire?

Firefox 92 - so June next year. Though at this point I'm wondering if we should transform these into permanent probes...

3. Why was the initial period of collection insufficient?

The latest renewal is insufficient because we're gearing up for Proton, and for bookmarks-related improvements, and we'll want to know if there's a significant change in import behaviour / success rates as a result.
