1863243 - Feature request: Render metrics, eg histograms, in `about:glean`

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Paul Bone [:pbone]]

One feature I find myself using in about:telemetry is the ability to view the distributions of various metrics from my own browser instance. I use this when configuring new telemetry and also when using that telemetry to measure some other local change in my development workspace (although it's not as accurate as the profiler).

For example.

1. Open about:telemetry
2. Choose "Histograms" from the panel on the left
3. Type "GC_MS" in the search box on the top right of the main display.
4. Observe the histograms.

If this workflow could be implemented for gleam in a convenient way I'd be grateful. Thanks.

It would be nice to have a local version of the Glean Debug Ping Viewer's visualization views. On mobile it was not only important but convenient to have GDPB available so devs could view on their big screens what data was collected from mobile... but Desktop's a different beast: maybe we should put it all together somehow?
