In the Monday Glean SDK Weekly Monitoring meeting we noticed a rising number of invalid_value errors for the metrics power.total_thread_wakeups and power.wakeups_per_process_type.

Having a look at the code it can record 0 which is not a happy value for a Glean counter metric (at least not yet, see bug 1762859). This is somewhat different from how the cpu time metrics do things.

Probably just needs a quick if (newWakeups) or something.

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.
:florian, is this bug important enough to require an uplift?
If not please set status_beta to wontfix.

I don't know, hopefully Chutten will know.

Flags: needinfo?(florian) → needinfo?(chutten)

The data's quality is unaffected by 0s not being recorded, so this is a matter of getting accurate error counts inside the error reporting mechanism when it hits release (and making our error monitoring plots easier to read)...

Since this is such a straightforward change, I would like this uplifted to make those plots easier to read.

Bug 1764113 - avoid incrementing thread wakeup glean counters by 0, r=gerald.

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

  • User impact if declined: No user impact, but Glean errors from the release channel will be harder to count (see comment 7)
  • Is this code covered by automated tests?: No
  • Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: No
  • Needs manual test from QE?: No
  • If yes, steps to reproduce:
  • List of other uplifts needed: None
