1700834 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 90: telemetry.sync_shutdown_ping_sent

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Sync, task)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

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

telemetry.sync_shutdown_ping_sent

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

This will cause a permanent XPCshell failure on Monday when the version number gets increased to 90 (Log). Despite the summary of bug 1703343, it didn't cover renewing this probe.

CCing Pascal as release manager for Firefox 90 because this product doesn't have tracking enabled.

(Driving by to note that bug 1703343 did not intend to renew this probe as it isn't of the same group of data collections. Also recomponenting to the same component of the monitoring bug 1675423 to hopefully raise awareness.)

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Will cause test failure once the Gecko version gets increased to 90.
