1855604 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 121: attribution.provenance.*

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Installer, task)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 121 [1].

installation.first_seen_prov_ext#first_seen_prov_ext
attribution.provenance.data_exists
attribution.provenance.file_system
attribution.provenance.ads_exists
attribution.provenance.security_zone
attribution.provenance.referrer_url_exists
attribution.provenance.referrer_url_is_mozilla
attribution.provenance.host_url_exists
attribution.provenance.host_url_is_mozilla

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.
