1725500 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 94: telemetry.*

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, task, P1)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 94 [1].

telemetry.state_file_save_errors
telemetry.generated_new_client_id
telemetry.loaded_client_id_doesnt_match_pref
telemetry.state_file_read_errors
telemetry.using_pref_client_id
telemetry.removed_client_ids

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

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: The xpcshell test toolkit/components/telemetry/tests/unit/test_client_id.js depends on it.

Yup, all these can, should, and will be removed now that investigations into spurious client_id generation have tapered off.
