525316 - Create notification system for large changes in crash report trends

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

We need something that sends email or alerts to a list of people if the frequency of a particular crash signature increases by a specified amount (to be determined).  This is similar to the notifications they have in place for when the tree breaks for Firefox dev.  Damon can give more info.

My suggestion for a delta to watch is an increase in crash frequency of more than 50-75% and new crashes in the top 20 overall signatures by version.

Ryan - this is related to the top movers bug you're working on with Chris.  May be a dupe.  What's the scope of your work regarding alerts?

Not a problem.  But need to push this out to 1.8.

Everybody wants this in the 2.0 interviews.  The desired outcome is a newsgroup posting.  If you can build something for 1.8 I'm all for it, otherwise 2.x is fine.

I don't know if people still want emails, but in general, this is covered now by a combination of Shu Hao's explosive crash anomaly detection and Kairo's explosive report.

Resolving for now. Please reopen if you want alerting.
