1847994 - Consider moving server knobs to its own Data Control Plane Nimbus feature instead of using Glean's

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Data Platform and Tools :: Glean: SDK, task, P1)

Description

[Chris H-C :chutten]

At present it's difficult to experiment/rollout Glean stuff using Nimbus because the Nightly population is currently under Server Knobs/Data Control Plane directives. Since variables aren't merged by Nimbus, that DCP's variable is inside the glean Nimbus feature with other variables rather squelches their ability to be experimented upon or rolled out.

I think we should either move the gleanMetricConfiguration variable to its own Nimbus feature (say, data-control-plane) or if it should remain in the glean Nimbus feature, to move the rest of the variables to some other Nimbus feature (say, fog) to properly reflect their independence.

(and then we should maybe document this)
