1876445 - Remove or update metrics expiring in Firefox 125: fog.validation.validate_early_event before Gecko version gets increased to 125 on 2024-02-19

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, task, P1)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following metrics will expire in the next Firefox Nightly release: version 125.

fog.validation.validate_early_event

What to do about this:

1. If one, some, or all of the metrics are no longer needed, please remove them from their metrics.yaml definition file.
2. If one, some, or all of the metrics are still required, please submit a Data Collection Review and patch to extend their expiry. There is a shorter form for data collection renewal.

If you have any problems, please ask for help on the #glean Matrix room or the #data-help Slack channel.
We'll give you a hand.

(( Consolidating from bug 1876441: this bug now also needs to deal with the Telemetry Event telemetry.early_event#early_event. ))

Taking, since I haven't looked at whether the various and several changes (most notably bug 1839426 which hit in 118.0a1 / 20230731215815) have actually fixed this issue.

Hey, :nalexander, is your browser_launched_to_handle.system_notification event still looking so different between systems like bug 1837230? I'm asking on the off-chance you already have the answer: I'll happily write the queries if you haven't checked since Fx118.

Looking at the queries from that ticket (slightly updated to not filter by version), I see very similar event counts:

Tag	Glean volume	Legacy volume
default-browser-agent	27,616	27,359
null#notag	336	319

So I have no reason to think the fixes are not working in the wild and that the early event telemetry must be retained.

Tracking because toolkit/components/glean/tests/pytest/test_no_expired_metrics.py checks for this.
