1861299 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 122: intl.ui.browserLanguage.manage#action

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Settings UI, task, P1)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 122 [1].

intl.ui.browserLanguage.manage#action

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.

@eemeli
These probes were used for powering dashboards like https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/dashboard/multilingual (the bottom graphs).
I don't think there is value in keeping this data collection anymore.

Questions for you:

• Could this data be relevant for you in the near future?
• If not, is this something you could help removing from the codebase in the coming weeks?

I've talked with Eemeli. He plans to do some work about language packs and locale fallback, so this data can still be valuable (e.g. to check if we see a spike of users trying to change language).

I'll go ahead and renew for another year (+13 version based on the last update).
