A bunch of columns are missing from thunderbird_desktop tables (see Screenshot 2024-08-20 at 13-01-12 Explore Structured Missing Columns.png).
Probably some dependency is missing from repositories.yaml.

Linking a couple related bugs for context but those should be fixed and this is a different issue in the thunderbird namespace. A lot of those columns are firefox-desktop ones that are defined in metrics.yaml's in https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev but not https://github.com/mozilla/releases-comm-central

Platform Health check:
Over 8400% increase in the last week for metrics.uuid.legacy.telemetry.client_id, metrics.uuid.legacy.telemetry.profile_group_id and metrics.counter.browser.engagement.active_ticks

There's a significant increase again this week from ~1.5k to 50k. This is probably a duplicate of Bug 1924137 (here app is sending undeclared metrics)

:travis - one of the metrics in question is places.frecency_recalc_chunk_time (https://dictionary.telemetry.mozilla.org/apps/firefox_desktop/metrics/places_frecency_recalc_chunk_time). We had a discussion about disabling some built in metrics in Glean v63 in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1924137#c5. Would this allow Thunderbird to stop emitting these metrics?

Yes, we are working on uplifting this so that t-bird can eliminate all but the metrics that are interesting to it from being collected.
