1796395 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 109: downloads.helpertype#helpertype before Gecko increases version number to 109 on 2022-11-14

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Downloads Panel, task)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 109 [1].

downloads.helpertype#helpertype

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.

I'm OK to not renew, not using it anymore, not aware of anyone who does and I don't see usefulness in the short/medium term.

This is the last business day (in the US and Canada, among others) to fix this before the version increase on Monday.
