1909436 - Add telemetry on Network Settings UI interaction

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, task, P2)

Description

[Kershaw Chang [:kershaw]]

We aim to gain insights into how users interact with the network settings page. Specifically, we want to understand how proxies are configured, whether through proxy auto-config, enterprise policies, add-ons, or manual settings adjustments.

Am I correct to assume that those are the settings that are to be monitored?

  enum {
    PROXYCONFIG_DIRECT = 0U,
    PROXYCONFIG_MANUAL = 1U,
    PROXYCONFIG_PAC = 2U,
    PROXYCONFIG_WPAD = 4U,
    PROXYCONFIG_SYSTEM = 5U
  };

I already started working on a patch for collecting them and just wanted to double check.

Not sure if event telemetry was the most appropriate kind of telemetry - looker only lets me run queries that process less than 10Tb of data 🙂

In any case, here's a query for the past 3 days:
