1727149 - undo IPCError-browser | ShutDownKill improvement

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: Signature, task, P2)

Description

[Will Kahn-Greene [:willkg] ET needinfo? me]

In bug #1612569, we changed signature generation to include the original signature for IPCError-browser | ShutDownKill signatures so we could differentiate between them.

This overwhelmed TopCrashers reports with a multitude of shutdown signatures.

We're not really looking at these, so for now, let's undo that change so the shutdown signatures all go in the same bucket again.

I can work on this after the codefreeze is lifted in September.

Is there a way to query this / aggregate on those on crash-stats? In case someone wanted to look at them...

I didn't reprocess crash reports, so crash reports that had their signatures computed before the change still have them. You can aggregate on a date range ending with 2021-09-21.
