1706842 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 91: HTTP_TRAFFIC_ANALYSIS_3

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, task, P2)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 91 [1].

HTTP_TRAFFIC_ANALYSIS_3
networking.data_transferred_v3_kb

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

Given that we have extended this probe twice, I am wondering that if we want to make this probe permanent?

Comment 2

[Tanvi Vyas[:tanvi]]

Please extend. As far as permanent probe, I would say yes, but sending to Arthur to confirm.

Please see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Data_Collection.
data-ewview+ has to be set by one of Data Stewards.

Ed, you might want to also submit a patch to change expires_in_version to never.
Also this one.

The renewal form cannot be used to make a collection permanent (as it doesn't contain all the necessary information that permanent collections require, like the name of the responsible individual). Please refile with the full form
