+device +~~~~~~ +The ``device`` field is filled in with information specified by the hardware +manufacturer. As such, it could be excessively long and use excessive amounts +of limited user data. To avoid this, we limit the length of the field. We're +more likely have collisions for models within a manufacturer (e.g. "Galaxy S5" +vs. "Galaxy Note") than we are for shortened manufacturer names so we provide +more characters for the model than the manufacturer. + +distributionId +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The ``distributionId`` contains the distribution ID as specified by +preferences.json for a given distribution. More information on distributions +can be found `here `_. + +It is optional. + +campaignId +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The ``campaignId`` contains the campaign identifier like '3ly8t0'. +It's generated by `Adjust `_, +It can only used to identify a campaign, but can't target to a specific user. + +It is optional because not everyone has a campaign to begin with. + +defaultSearch +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +On Android, this field may be ``null``. To get the engine, we rely on +``SearchEngineManager#getDefaultEngine``, which searches in several places in +order to find the search engine identifier: + +* Shared Preferences +* The distribution (if it exists) +* The localized default engine + +If the identifier could not be retrieved, this field is ``null``. If the +identifier is retrieved, we attempt to create an instance of the search +engine from the search plugins (in order): + +* In the distribution +* From the localized plugins shipped with the browser +* The third-party plugins that are installed in the profile directory + +If the plugins fail to create a search engine instance, this field is also +``null``. + +This field can also be ``null`` when a custom search engine is set as the +default. + +sessions & durations +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +On Android, a session is the time when Firefox is focused in the foreground. +`sessions` tracks the number of sessions since the last upload and +`durations` is the accumulated duration in seconds of all of these +sessions. Note that showing a dialog (including a Firefox dialog) will +take Firefox out of focus & end the current session. + +An implementation that records a session when Firefox is completely hidden is +preferable (e.g. to avoid the dialog issue above), however, it's more complex +to implement and so we chose not to, at least for the initial implementation. + +profileDate +~~~~~~~~~~~ +On Android, this value is created at profile creation time and retrieved or, +for legacy profiles, taken from the package install time (note: this is not the +same exact metric as profile creation time but we compromised in favor of ease +of implementation). + +Additionally on Android, this field may be ``null`` in the unlikely event that +all of the following events occur: + +#. The times.json file does not exist +#. The package install date could not be persisted to disk + +The reason we don't just return the package install time even if the date could +not be persisted to disk is to ensure the value doesn't change once we start +sending it: we only want to send consistent values. + +searches +~~~~~~~~ +This describes the search engine usage(count). The format is { "."" : count } +This is optional because the users may have never used the search feature. +There's no difference if extended telemetry is enabled (prerelease builds) or not. + +Possible value : + +.. code-block:: js + + { + "yahoo.listitem":2, + "duckduckgo.listitem":1, + "google.suggestion":1 + } + +****: the identifier of the the search engine. The identifier is collected the way same as desktop. +we only record the search engine name when: + +* builtin or suggested search engines with an ID (includes partner search engines in various distribution scenarios). + If it's not a built-in engine, we show "null" or "other". +* If the user has "Health Report" and core ping enabled. + +****: it's from one of the 'method's in UI telemetry. Possible values: + +* actionbar: the user types in the url bar and hits enter to use the default + search engine +* listitem: the user selects a search engine from the list of secondary search + engines at the bottom of the screen +* suggestion: the user clicks on a search suggestion or, in the case that + suggestions are disabled, the row corresponding with the main engine + +accessibilityServices +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +This describes which accessibility services are currently enabled on user's device and could be interacting with our +products. This is optional because users often do not have any accessibility services enabled.

FHR will not + attempt to upload a new document before this time. + +pendingDeleteRemoteData + Whether the client currently has a pending request to delete remote + data. If true, the client will attempt to delete all remote data + before an upload is performed. + +FHR stores various state in preferences. + +Registering Providers +===================== + +Firefox Health Report providers are registered via the category manager. +See ``HealthReportComponents.manifest`` for providers defined in this +directory. + +Essentially, the category manager receives the name of a JS type and the +URI of a JSM to import that exports this symbol. At run-time, the +providers registered in the category manager are instantiated. + +Providers are registered via the category manager to make registration +simple and less prone to errors. Any XPCOM component can create a +category manager entry. Therefore, new data providers can be added +without having to touch core Firefox Health Report code. Additionally, +category manager registration means providers are more likely to be +registered on FHR's terms, when it wants. If providers were registered +in code at application run-time, there would be the risk of other +components prematurely instantiating FHR (causing a performance hit if +performed at an inopportune time) or semi-complicated code around +observers or listeners. Category manager entries are only 1 line per +provider and leave FHR in control: they are simple and safe. + +Document Generation and Lifecycle +================================= + +FHR will attempt to submit a JSON document containing data every 24 wall +clock hours. + +At upload time, FHR will query the database for **all** information from +the last 180 days and assemble this data into a JSON document. We +attempt to upload this JSON document with a client-generated UUID to the +configured server. + +Before we attempt upload, the generated UUID is stored in the JSON state +file on local disk. At this point, the client assumes the document with +that UUID has been successfully stored on the server. + +If the client is aware of other document UUIDs that presumably exist on +the server, those UUIDs are sent with the upload request so the client +can request those UUIDs be deleted. This helps ensure that each client +only has 1 document/UUID on the server at any one time. + +Importance of Persisting UUIDs +------------------------------ + +The choices of how, where, and when document UUIDs are stored and updated +are very important. One should not attempt to change things unless she +has a very detailed understanding of why things are the way they are. + +The client is purposefully very conservative about forgetting about +generated UUIDs. In other words, once a UUID is generated, the client +deliberately holds on to that UUID until it's very confident that UUID +is no longer stored on the server. The reason we do this is because +*orphaned* documents/UUIDs on the server can lead to faulty analysis, +such as over-reporting the number of Firefox installs that stop being +used. + +When uploading a new UUID, we update the state and save the state file +to disk *before* an upload attempt because if the upload succeeds but +the response never makes it back to the client, we want the client to +know about the uploaded UUID so it can delete it later to prevent an +orphan. + +We maintain a list of UUIDs locally (not simply the last UUID) because +multiple upload attempts could fail the same way as the previous +paragraph describes and we have no way of knowing which (if any) +actually succeeded. The safest approach is to assume every document +produced managed to get uploaded some how. + +We store the UUIDs on a file on disk and not anywhere else because we +want storage to be robust. We originally stored UUIDs in preferences, +which only flush to disk periodically. Writes to preferences were +apparently getting lost. We switched to writing directly to files to +eliminate this window. diff --git a/toolkit/components/telemetry/docs/obsolete/fhr/dataformat.rst b/toolkit/components/telemetry/docs/obsolete/fhr/dataformat.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..730d7514b8 --- /dev/null +++ b/toolkit/components/telemetry/docs/obsolete/fhr/dataformat.rst @@ -0,0 +1,1998 @@ +.. _healthreport_dataformat: + +============== +Payload Format +============== + +Currently, the Firefox Health Report is submitted as a compressed JSON +document.

The new +versions for a day are recorded in an array under the *version* property. + +Notes +^^^^^ + +If the application isn't upgraded, this measurement will not be present. +This means this measurement will not be present for most days if a user is +on the release channel (since updates are typically released every 6 weeks). +However, users on the Nightly and Aurora channels will likely have a lot +of these entries since those builds are updated every day. + +Values for this measurement are collected when performing the daily +collection (typically occurs at upload time). As a result, it's possible +the actual upgrade day may not be attributed to the proper day - the +reported day may lag behind. + +The app and platform versions and build IDs should be identical for most +clients.

Gecko periodically + sends out a signal when the session is active. Session activity + involves keyboard or mouse interaction with the application. Each tick + represents a window of 5 seconds where there was interaction. +totalTime + Integer seconds the session has been alive. +main + Integer milliseconds it took for the Gecko process to start up. +firstPaint + Integer milliseconds from process start to first paint. +sessionRestored + Integer milliseconds from process start to session restore. + +Example +^^^^^^^ + +:: + + "org.mozilla.appSessions.current": { + "_v": 3, + "startDay": 15775, + "activeTicks": 4282, + "totalTime": 249422, + "main": 851, + "firstPaint": 3271, + "sessionRestored": 5998 + } + +org.mozilla.appSessions.previous +-------------------------------- + +This measurement contains information about previous XUL application sessions. + +Version 3 +^^^^^^^^^ + +This measurement contains per-day lists of all the sessions started on that +day. The following properties may be present: + +cleanActiveTicks + Active ticks of sessions that were properly shut down. +cleanTotalTime + Total number of seconds for sessions that were properly shut down. +abortedActiveTicks + Active ticks of sessions that were not properly shut down. +abortedTotalTime + Total number of seconds for sessions that were not properly shut down. +main + Time in milliseconds from process start to main process initialization. +firstPaint + Time in milliseconds from process start to first paint. +sessionRestored + Time in milliseconds from process start to session restore. + +Notes +^^^^^ + +Sessions are recorded on the date on which they began. + +If a session was aborted/crashed, the total time may be less than the actual +total time. This is because we don't always update total time during periods +of inactivity and the abort/crash could occur after a long period of idle, +before we've updated the total time. + +The lengths of the arrays for {cleanActiveTicks, cleanTotalTime}, +{abortedActiveTicks, abortedTotalTime}, and {main, firstPaint, sessionRestored} +should all be identical. + +The length of the clean sessions plus the length of the aborted sessions should +be equal to the length of the {main, firstPaint, sessionRestored} properties. + +It is not possible to distinguish the main, firstPaint, and sessionRestored +values from a clean vs aborted session: they are all lumped together. + +For sessions spanning multiple UTC days, it's not possible to know which +days the session was active for. It's possible a week long session only +had activity for 2 days and there's no way for us to tell which days. + +Example +^^^^^^^ + +:: + + "org.mozilla.appSessions.previous": { + "_v": 3, + "cleanActiveTicks": [ + 78, + 1785 + ], + "cleanTotalTime": [ + 4472, + 88908 + ], + "main": [ + 32, + 952 + ], + "firstPaint": [ + 2755, + 3497 + ], + "sessionRestored": [ + 5149, + 5520 + ] + } + +org.mozilla.crashes.crashes +--------------------------- + +This measurement contains a historical record of application crashes. + +Version 6 +^^^^^^^^^ + +This version adds tracking for out-of-memory (OOM) crashes in the main process. +An OOM crash will be counted as both main-crash and main-crash-oom. + +This measurement will be reported on each day there was a crash or crash +submission.

Records may contain the following fields, whose values indicate +the number of crashes or hangs that occurred on the given day: + +* main-crash +* main-hang +* content-crash +* content-hang +* plugin-crash +* plugin-hang + +Version 2 +^^^^^^^^^ + +The switch to version 2 coincides with the introduction of the +:ref:`crashes_crashmanager`, which provides a more robust source of +crash data. + +This measurement will be reported on each day there was a crash. The +following fields may be present in each record: + +mainCrash + The number of main process crashes that occurred on the given day. + +Yes, version 2 does not track submissions like version 1. It is very +likely submissions will be re-added later. + +Also absent from version 2 are plugin crashes and hangs. These will be +re-added, likely in version 3. + +Version 1 +^^^^^^^^^ + +This measurement will be reported on each day there was a crash. The +following properties are reported: + +pending + The number of crash reports that haven't been submitted. +submitted + The number of crash reports that were submitted. + +Notes +^^^^^ + +Main process crashes are typically submitted immediately after they +occur (by checking a box in the crash reporter, which should appear +automatically after a crash). If the crash reporter submits the crash +successfully, we get a submitted crash. Else, we leave it as pending. + +A pending crash does not mean it will eventually be submitted. + +Pending crash reports can be submitted post-crash by going to +about:crashes. + +If a pending crash is submitted via about:crashes, the submitted count +increments but the pending count does not decrement. This is because FHR +does not know which pending crash was just submitted and therefore it does +not know which day's pending crash to decrement. + +Example +^^^^^^^ + +:: + + "org.mozilla.crashes.crashes": { + "_v": 1, + "pending": 1, + "submitted": 2 + }, + "org.mozilla.crashes.crashes": { + "_v": 2, + "mainCrash": 2 + } + "org.mozilla.crashes.crashes": { + "_v": 4, + "main-crash": 2, + "main-crash-submission-succeeded": 1, + "main-crash-submission-failed": 1, + "main-hang": 1, + "plugin-crash": 2 + } + +org.mozilla.healthreport.submissions +------------------------------------ + +This measurement contains a history of FHR's own data submission activity. +It was added in Firefox 23 in early May 2013. + +Version 2 +^^^^^^^^^ + +This is the same as version 1 except an additional field has been added. + +uploadAlreadyInProgress + A request for upload was initiated while another upload was in progress. + This should not occur in well-behaving clients. It (along with a lock + preventing simultaneous upload) was added to ensure this never occurs. + +Version 1 +^^^^^^^^^ + +Daily counts of upload events are recorded. + +firstDocumentUploadAttempt + An attempt was made to upload the client's first document to the server. + These are uploads where the client is not aware of a previous document ID + on the server. Unless the client had disabled upload, there should be at + most one of these in the history of the client. + +continuationUploadAttempt + An attempt was made to upload a document that replaces an existing document + on the server. Most upload attempts should be attributed to this as opposed + to *firstDocumentUploadAttempt*. + +uploadSuccess + The upload attempt recorded by *firstDocumentUploadAttempt* or + *continuationUploadAttempt* was successful. + +uploadTransportFailure + An upload attempt failed due to transport failure (network unavailable, + etc). + +uploadServerFailure + An upload attempt failed due to a server-reported failure. Ideally these + are failures reported by the FHR server itself. However, intermediate + proxies, firewalls, etc may trigger this depending on how things are + configured. + +uploadClientFailure + An upload attempt failued due to an error/exception in the client. + This almost certainly points to a bug in the client. + +The result for an upload attempt is always attributed to the same day as +the attempt, even if the result occurred on a different day from the attempt. +Therefore, the sum of the result counts should equal the result of the attempt +counts. + +org.mozilla.hotfix.update +------------------------- + +This measurement contains results from the Firefox update hotfix. + +The Firefox update hotfix bypasses the built-in application update mechanism +and installs a modern Firefox. + +Version 1 +^^^^^^^^^ + +The fields in this measurement are dynamically created based on which +versions of the update hotfix state file are found on disk. + +The general format of the fields is ``.`` where ``version`` +is a hotfix version like ``v20140527`` and ``thing`` is a key from the +hotfix state file, e.g. ``upgradedFrom``. Here are some of the ``things`` +that can be defined. + +upgradedFrom + String identifying the Firefox version that the hotfix upgraded from. + e.g. ``16.0`` or ``17.0.1``. + +uninstallReason + String with enumerated values identifying why the hotfix was uninstalled. + Value will be ``STILL_INSTALLED`` if the hotfix is still installed. + +downloadAttempts + Integer number of times the hotfix started downloading an installer. + Download resumes are part of this count. + +downloadFailures + Integer count of times a download supposedly completed but couldn't + be validated. This likely represents something wrong with the network + connection. The ratio of this to ``downloadAttempts`` should be low. + +installAttempts + Integer count of times the hotfix attempted to run the installer. + This should ideally be 1. It should only be greater than 1 if UAC + elevation was canceled or not allowed. + +installFailures + Integer count of total installation failures this client experienced. + Can be 0. ``installAttempts - installFailures`` implies install successes. + +notificationsShown + Integer count of times a notification was displayed to the user that + they are running an older Firefox. + +org.mozilla.places.places +------------------------- + +This measurement contains information about the Places database (where Firefox +stores its history and bookmarks). + +Version 1 +^^^^^^^^^ + +Daily counts of items in the database are reported in the following properties: + +bookmarks + Integer count of bookmarks present. +pages + Integer count of pages in the history database. + +Example +^^^^^^^ + +:: + + "org.mozilla.places.places": { + "_v": 1, + "bookmarks": 388, + "pages": 94870 + } + +org.mozilla.profile.age +----------------------- + +This measurement contains information about the current profile's age (and +in version 2, the profile's most recent reset date) + +Version 2 +^^^^^^^^^ + +*profileCreation* and *profileReset* properties are present. Both define +the integer days since UNIX epoch that the current profile was created or +reset accordingly. + +Version 1 +^^^^^^^^^ + +A single *profileCreation* property is present. It defines the integer +days since UNIX epoch that the current profile was created. + +Notes +^^^^^ + +It is somewhat difficult to obtain a reliable *profile born date* due to a +number of factors, but since Version 2, improvements have been made - on a +"profile reset" we copy the profileCreation date from the old profile and +record the time of the reset in profileReset. + +Example +^^^^^^^ + +:: + + "org.mozilla.profile.age": { + "_v": 2, + "profileCreation": 15176 + "profileReset": 15576 + } + +org.mozilla.searches.counts +--------------------------- + +This measurement contains information about searches performed in the +application. + +Version 6 (mobile) +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +This adds two new search locations: *widget* and *activity*, corresponding to the search widget and search activity respectively. + +Version 2 +^^^^^^^^^ + +This behaves like version 1 except we added all search engines that +Mozilla has a partner agreement with. Like version 1, we concatenate +a search engine ID with a search origin. + +Another difference with version 2 is we should no longer misattribute +a search to the *other* bucket if the search engine name is localized. + +The set of search engine providers is: + +* amazon-co-uk +* amazon-de +* amazon-en-GB +* amazon-france +* amazon-it +* amazon-jp +* amazondotcn +* amazondotcom +* amazondotcom-de +* aol-en-GB +* aol-web-search +* bing +* eBay +* eBay-de +* eBay-en-GB +* eBay-es +* eBay-fi +* eBay-france +* eBay-hu +* eBay-in +* eBay-it +* google +* google-jp +* google-ku +* google-maps-zh-TW +* mailru +* mercadolibre-ar +* mercadolibre-cl +* mercadolibre-mx +* seznam-cz +* twitter +* twitter-de +* twitter-ja +* yahoo +* yahoo-NO +* yahoo-answer-zh-TW +* yahoo-ar +* yahoo-bid-zh-TW +* yahoo-br +* yahoo-ch +* yahoo-cl +* yahoo-de +* yahoo-en-GB +* yahoo-es +* yahoo-fi +* yahoo-france +* yahoo-fy-NL +* yahoo-id +* yahoo-in +* yahoo-it +* yahoo-jp +* yahoo-jp-auctions +* yahoo-mx +* yahoo-sv-SE +* yahoo-zh-TW +* yandex +* yandex-ru +* yandex-slovari +* yandex-tr +* yandex.by +* yandex.ru-be + +And of course, *other*. + +The sources for searches remain: + +* abouthome +* contextmenu +* searchbar +* urlbar + +The measurement will only be populated with providers and sources that +occurred that day. + +If a user switches locales, searches from default providers on the older +locale will still be supported. However, if that same search engine is +added by the user to the new build and is *not* a default search engine +provider, its searches will be attributed to the *other* bucket. + +Version 1 +^^^^^^^^^ + +We record counts of performed searches grouped by search engine and search +origin. Only search engines with which Mozilla has a business relationship +are explicitly counted. All other search engines are grouped into an +*other* bucket. + +The following search engines are explicitly counted: + +* Amazon.com +* Bing +* Google +* Yahoo +* Other + +The following search origins are distinguished: + +about:home + Searches initiated from the search text box on about:home. +context menu + Searches initiated from the context menu (highlight text, right click, + and select "search for...") +search bar + Searches initiated from the search bar (the text field next to the + Awesomebar) +url bar + Searches initiated from the awesomebar/url bar. + +Due to the localization of search engine names, non en-US locales may wrongly +attribute searches to the *other* bucket.

It contains the +following properties: + +default + Daily string identifier or name of the default search engine provider. + + This field will only be collected if Telemetry is enabled. If + Telemetry is enabled and then later disabled, this field may + disappear from future days in the payload. + + The special value ``NONE`` could occur if there is no default search + engine. + + The special value ``UNDEFINED`` could occur if a default search + engine exists but its identifier could not be determined. + + This field's contents are + ``Services.search.defaultEngine.identifier`` (if defined) or + ``"other-"`` + ``Services.search.defaultEngine.name`` if not. + In other words, search engines without an ``.identifier`` + are prefixed with ``other-``. + +Version 2 +^^^^^^^^^ + +Starting with Firefox 40, there is an additional optional value: + +cohort + Daily cohort string identifier, recorded if the user is part of + search defaults A/B testing. + +org.mozilla.sync.sync +--------------------- + +This daily measurement contains information about the Sync service. + +Values should be recorded for every day FHR measurements occurred. + +Version 1 +^^^^^^^^^ + +This version debuted with Firefox 30 on desktop. It contains the following +properties: + +enabled + Daily numeric indicating whether Sync is configured and enabled. 1 if so, + 0 otherwise. + +preferredProtocol + String version of the maximum Sync protocol version the client supports. + This will be ``1.1`` for for legacy Sync and ``1.5`` for clients that + speak the Firefox Accounts protocol. + +actualProtocol + The actual Sync protocol version the client is configured to use. + + This will be ``1.1`` if the client is configured with the legacy Sync + service or if the client only supports ``1.1``. + + It will be ``1.5`` if the client supports ``1.5`` and either a) the + client is not configured b) the client is using Firefox Accounts Sync. + +syncStart + Count of sync operations performed. + +syncSuccess + Count of sync operations that completed successfully. + +syncError + Count of sync operations that did not complete successfully. + + This is a measure of overall sync success. This does *not* reflect + recoverable errors (such as record conflict) that can occur during + sync. This is thus a rough proxy of whether the sync service is + operating without error. + +org.mozilla.sync.devices +------------------------ + +This daily measurement contains information about the device type composition +for the configured Sync account. + +Version 1 +^^^^^^^^^ + +Version 1 was introduced with Firefox 30. + +Field names are dynamic according to the client-reported device types from +Sync records.

In other words, it is expected that users with Sync setup +for FxA or with sync unconfigured will not collect data, and that for users +where data is collected, the collection will only be for a relatively short +period. + +Version 1 +^^^^^^^^^ + +Version 1 was introduced with Firefox 37 and includes the following properties: + +state + Corresponds to either a STATE_USER_* string or a STATE_INTERNAL_* string in + FxaMigration.jsm. This reflects a state where we are waiting for the user, + or waiting for some internal process to complete on the way to completing + the migration. + +declined + Corresponds to the number of times the user closed the migration infobar. + +unlinked + Set if the user declined to migrate and instead "unlinked" Sync from the + browser. + +accepted + Corresponds to the number of times the user explicitly elected to start or + continue the migration - it counts how often the user clicked on any UI + created specifically for migration. The "ideal" UX for migration would see + this at exactly 1, some known edge-cases (eg, browser restart required to + finish) could expect this to be 2, and anything more means we are doing + something wrong. + +org.mozilla.sysinfo.sysinfo +--------------------------- + +This measurement contains basic information about the system the application +is running on. + +Version 2 +^^^^^^^^^ + +This version debuted with Firefox 29 on desktop. + +A single property was introduced. + +isWow64 + If present, this property indicates whether the machine supports WoW64. + This property can be used to identify whether the host machine is 64-bit. + + This property is only present on Windows machines. It is the preferred way + to identify 32- vs 64-bit support in that environment. + +Version 1 +^^^^^^^^^ + +The following properties may be available: + +cpuCount + Integer number of CPUs/cores in the machine. +memoryMB + Integer megabytes of memory in the machine. +manufacturer + The manufacturer of the device. +device + The name of the device (like model number). +hardware + Unknown. +name + OS name. +version + OS version. +architecture + OS architecture that the application is built for.

Only the IDs of builtin widgets are sent (ie not add-on widgets); +- ``defaultMoved`` - list of strings identifying toolbar buttons and items that are no longer in + their default position, but have not been removed to the palette. Only the IDs of builtin widgets + are sent (ie not add-on widgets); +- ``nondefaultAdded`` - list of strings identifying toolbar buttons and items that have been added + from the palette. Only the IDs of builtin widgets are sent (ie not add-on widgets); +- ``defaultRemoved`` - list of strings identifying toolbar buttons and items that are in the + palette that are elsewhere by default. Only the IDs of builtin widgets are sent + (ie not add-on widgets); +- ``addonToolbars`` - the number of non-default toolbars that are customizable. 1 by default + because it counts the add-on bar shim; +- ``visibleTabs`` - array of the number of visible tabs per window; +- ``hiddenTabs`` - array of the number of hidden tabs per window (ie tabs in panorama groups which + are not the current group); +- ``countableEvents`` - please refer to the next section. +- ``durations`` - an object mapping descriptions to duration records, which records the amount of + time a user spent doing something. Currently only has one property: + + - ``customization`` - how long a user spent customizing the browser. This is an array of + objects, where each object has a ``duration`` property indicating the time in milliseconds, + and a ``bucket`` property indicating a bucket in which the duration info falls. + + +.. _UITelemetry_countableEvents: + +``countableEvents`` +=================== + +Countable events are stored under the ``toolbars`` section. They count the number of times certain +events happen. No timing or other correlating information is stored - purely the number of times +things happen. + +``countableEvents`` contains a list of buckets as its properties. A bucket represents the state the browser was in when these events occurred, such as currently running an interactive tour. There are 3 types of buckets: + +- ``__DEFAULT__`` - No bucket, for times when the browser is not in any special state. +- ``bucket_`` - Normal buckets, for when the browser is in a special state. The ```` in the bucket ID is the name associated with the bucket and may be further broken down into parts by the ``|`` character. +- ``bucket_|`` - Expiring buckets, which are similar to a countdown timer. The ```` in the bucket ID describes the time interval the recorded event happened in. The intervals are ``1m`` (one minute), ``3m`` (three minutes), ``10m`` (ten minutes), and ``1h`` (one hour). After one hour, the ``__DEFAULT__`` bucket is automatically used again. + +Each bucket is an object with the following properties: + +- ``click-builtin-item`` is an object tracking clicks on builtin customizable toolbar items, keyed + off the item IDs, with an object for each item with keys ``left``, ``middle`` and ``right`` each + storing a number indicating how often the respective type of click has happened. +- ``click-menu-button`` is the same, except the item ID is always 'button'. +- ``click-bookmarks-bar`` is the same, with the item IDs being replaced by either ``container`` for + clicks on bookmark or livemark folders, and ``item`` for individual bookmarks. +- ``click-menubar`` is similar, with the item IDs being replaced by one of ``menu``, ``menuitem`` + or ``other``, depending on the kind of item clicked. Note that this is not tracked on OS X, where + we can't listen for these events because of the global menubar. +- ``click-bookmarks-menu-button`` is also similar, with the item IDs being replaced by: + + - ``menu`` for clicks on the 'menu' part of the item; + - ``add`` for clicks that add a bookmark; + - ``edit`` for clicks that open the panel to edit an existing bookmark; + - ``in-panel`` for clicks when the button is in the menu panel, and clicking it does none of the + above; +- ``customize`` tracks different types of customization events without the ``left``, ``middle`` and + ``right`` distinctions. The different events are the following, with each storing a count of the + number of times they occurred: + + - ``start`` counts the number of times the user starts customizing; + - ``add`` counts the number of times an item is added somewhere from the palette; + - ``move`` counts the number of times an item is moved somewhere else (but not to the palette); + - ``remove`` counts the number of times an item is removed to the palette; + - ``reset`` counts the number of times the 'restore defaults' button is used; +- ``search`` is an object tracking searches of various types, keyed off the search + location, storing a number indicating how often the respective type of search + has happened. + + - There are also two special keys that mean slightly different things. + + - ``urlbar-keyword`` records searches that would have been an invalid-protocol + error, but are now keyword searches. They are also counted in the ``urlbar`` + keyword (along with all the other urlbar searches). + - ``selection`` searches records selections of search suggestions. They include + the source, the index of the selection, and the kind of selection (mouse or + enter key). Selection searches are also counted in their sources. + + + +``UITour`` +========== + +The UITour API provides ways for pages on trusted domains to safely interact with the browser UI and request it to perform actions such as opening menus and showing highlights over the browser chrome - for the purposes of interactive tours. We track some usage of this API via the ``UITour`` object in the UI Telemetry output. + +Each page is able to register itself with an identifier, a ``Page ID``. A list of Page IDs that have been seen over the last 8 weeks is available via ``seenPageIDs``. + +Page IDs are also used to identify buckets for :ref:`UITelemetry_countableEvents`, in the following circumstances: + +- The current tab is a tour page. This will be a normal bucket with the name ``UITour|``, where ```` is the page's registered ID. This will result in bucket IDs such as ``bucket_UITour|australis-tour``. +- A tour tab is open but another tab is active. This will be an expiring bucket with the name ``UITour||inactive``. This will result in bucket IDs such as ``bucket_UITour|australis-tour|inactive|1m``. +- A tour tab has recently been open but has been closed. This will be an expiring bucket with the name ``UITour||closed``. This will result in bucket IDs such as ``bucket_UITour|australis-tour|closed|10m``. + + + +``contextmenu`` +=============== + +We track context menu interactions to figure out which ones are most often used and/or how +effective they are. In the ``contextmenu`` object, we first store things per-bucket. Next, we +divide the following different context menu situations: + +- ``selection`` if there is content on the page that's selected on which the user clicks; +- ``link`` if the user opened the context menu for a link +- ``image-link`` if the user opened the context menu on an image or canvas that's a link; +- ``image`` if the user opened the context menu on an image (that isn't a link); +- ``canvas`` if the user opened the context menu on a canvas (that isn't a link); +- ``media`` if the user opened the context menu on an HTML video or audio element; +- ``input`` if the user opened the context menu on a text input element; +- ``other`` for all other openings of the content menu; + +Each of these objects (if they exist) then gets a "withcustom" and/or a "withoutcustom" property +for context menus opened with custom page-created items and without them, and each of those +properties holds an object with IDs corresponding to a count of how often an item with that ID was +activated in the context menu. Only builtin context menu items are tracked, and besides those items +there are four special items which get counts: + +- ``close-without-interaction`` is incremented when the user closes the context menu without interacting with it; +- ``custom-page-item`` is incremented when the user clicks an item that was created by the page; +- ``unknown`` is incremented when an item without an ID was clicked; +- ``other-item`` is incremented when an add-on-provided menuitem is clicked. -- cgit v1.2.3
