1811156 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 112: WEBAUTHN_* before Gecko version gets increased to 112 on 2023-02-13

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Web Authentication, task, P1)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 112 [1].

WEBAUTHN_CREATE_CREDENTIAL_MS
WEBAUTHN_GET_ASSERTION_MS
security.webauthn_used

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.

Hey John, I suppose we want to extend those?

I'm going to renew security.webauthn_used and take advantage of the fact that it's a keyed scalar to collect information on usage of CTAP1 vs CTAP2. I don't think the other two are useful at the moment, so I'll remove those.
