1713380 - Document how to migrate individual collections from Telemetry to FOG

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, task, P1)

Description

[Chris H-C :chutten]

If I have a Telemetry of kind A, what Glean should I have instead? That's a complicated question to answer, but we have to try. And we'll have to try over and over again until migration is over.

So let's start with enumerating the common cases, the easy ones, and how to migrate them to Glean with FOG. List pratfalls that people familiar with Telemetry might fall into (like the new IPC restrictions, product- and process- and channel-agnosticism, etc).

We should resist the urge to try to explain anything that is too complicated to completely and unambiguously document in text. Instead, refer the reader to #glean:mozilla.org for hands-on assistance.

Be clear about missing pieces. There are a lot of metric types and behaviours we'll need that just don't yet exist. What should people do when they run across one? What should people do if they discover a new one?
