1781984 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 106: os.environment.is_default_handler

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Installer, task)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 106 [1].

os.environment.is_default_handler

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.

Data Review

1. Is there or will there be documentation that describes the schema for the ultimate data set in a public, complete, and accurate way?

Yes, through the Histograms.json, Scalars.yaml, and/or Evnets.yaml files and via the Probe Dictionary.

2. Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off?

Yes, through the standard telemetry preference in the application settings.

3. If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?

Romain Testard <[e-mail]> will be responsible for the permanent collection of this data.

4. Using the category system of data types on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?

Category 1: Technical

5. Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?

Default-on

6. Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers (whether anonymous or otherwise; e.g., username, random IDs, etc. See the appendix for more details)?

No

7. Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice?

Yes

8. Does the data collection use a third-party collection tool?
