1700824 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 90: NETWORK_BACK_PRESSURE_SUSPENSION_*

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, task, P1)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 90 [1].

NETWORK_BACK_PRESSURE_SUSPENSION_RATE_V2
NETWORK_BACK_PRESSURE_SUSPENSION_CP_TYPE
NETWORK_BACK_PRESSURE_SUSPENSION_DELAY_TIME_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 #data-help Slack channel or the #telemetry Matrix room at https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#telemetry:mozilla.org. We'll give you a hand.

Your Friendly, Neighborhood Telemetry Team

Dragana, looks like you added these probes and/or last extended them in Oct 2020. Should we renew or remove them?

Comment 2

[Dragana Damjanovic [:dragana]]

Yes, let's renew them.
Nihanth can you renew them?

I've extended the expiry to "never" since we've renewed this a few times already.

Dragana: just to make sure I don't misrepresent anything here, does my answer to "Why was the initial period of collection insufficient?" look okay?

I've you've extended these probes to no longer expire you will need to fill out the full request so we can capture the extra requirements for permanent collections (mostly just identifying which individual will be responsible for them).
