560627 - ADUAPI changes for hang detection

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[Austin King [:ozten]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #559360 +++

We need the ADU daily report to support hang detection.

The Adu by day API needs to be enhanced to allow an optional parameter crash type.

Default value - all
browser - total crashes with a hang id, but which are not processType = plugin
plugin - total crashes with a hang id and  processType = plugin

The first sentence and later comment here don't seem to be related. Do you want to separate hangs and non-hangs, or browser/plugin crashes, or all of the above?

(In reply to comment #1)
Good catch:

comment #0 should have been
Default value - total crashes (current behavior)
crash - total crashes where hang id is null
hang - total crashes where hang id is not null

Of course this needs to be designed, just capturing some requirements, not the final design :)

Hrm, I suspect that we will want the plugin/default crash differentiation also: browser crashes are more serious than the plugin crashes, which we're informally calling "whoopsies".

@lars - another service that could/should be updated with hangid information topcrashers.

I can do this in Postgres on PHP side, and will do so in Bug#562375, but it makes more sense to update top crashers. This wasn't doable in 1.6.2 timeframe, so I didn't suggest it. Thoughts?

Should this be in 1.7?

we will not be investing in additional one off reports. we'd like to move users towards mission control and away from rate based values in socorro
