1912167 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 132: blocklist.* before Gecko version gets increased to 132 on 2024-09-02

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Blocklist Implementation, task, P1)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 132 [1].

blocklist.addonBlockChange#addonBlockChange
blocklist.lastModified_rs_addons
blocklist.lastModified_rs_addons_mlbf
blocklist.mlbf_source
blocklist.mlbf_generation_time
blocklist.mlbf_stash_time_oldest
blocklist.mlbf_stash_time_newest

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 patch to extend their expiry.

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.

Tracking because there are tests for this, e.g. toolkit/mozapps/extensions/test/xpcshell/rs-blocklist/test_blocklist_mlbf_telemetry.js

Setting a P1 priority, since robwu assigned himself.

Compared to the previous renewal in bug 1861296, this request now omits blocklist.last_modified_rs_addons. The implementation stopped setting the scalar since the change in bug 1820155, along with mlbf_enabled as mentioned before at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1861296#c4
