The Glean Javascript SDK currently targets 3 environments: websites, browser web-extensions and Node.js (as reported by our docs).
Products built in each one of the above environments may have a radically different behaviour than the one the 'metrics' ping scheduling was designed in:
- website browsing sessions are usually short-lived, and may be suspended by the browser (and so the 'send a ping at 4am' would not really work);
- web-extensions lifetime is radically different than a website, and pretty much depends on its purpose: a web-extension can be a simple URL filter or a much more complex stand-alone experience (e.g. Rally) (and so how the proper daily 'measurement window' that captures a "daily session" would have been hard to compute);
- Node.js products can be more akin to servers/cli products, for which we never had a good story to begin with (we had prior discussions with respect to the Glean Python SDK and deemed that the 'metrics' ping would not be a good fit for that SDK).
For the above reasons, I believe we should not implement a 'metrics' ping (and its related scheduling) for the Glean Javascript SDK, unless we have an initial solid use-case which allows us to think through what the correct measurement window would be.
Until then, I reccommend closing this bug as WONTFIX.
