  Schema for the metrics.yaml files for Mozilla's Glean telemetry SDK.

  The top-level of the `metrics.yaml` file has a key defining each category of
  metrics. Categories must be snake_case, and they may also have dots `.` to
  define subcategories.

    properties:
      type:
        title: Metric type
        description: |
          **Required.**

          Specifies the type of a metric, like "counter" or "event". This
          defines which operations are valid for the metric, how it is stored
          and how data analysis tooling displays it.

          The supported types are:
            - `event`: Record a specific event (with optional metadata).
              Additional properties: `extra_keys`.

            - `boolean`: A metric storing values of true or false.

            - `string`: A metric storing Unicode string values.

            - `string_list`: a list of Unicode strings.

            - `counter`: A numeric value that can only be incremented.

            - `quantity`: A numeric value that is set directly.

            - `timespan`: Represents a time interval. Additional properties:
              `time_unit`.

            - `timing_distribution`: Record the distribution of multiple
              timings. Additional properties: `time_unit`.

            - `datetime`: A date/time value. Represented as an ISO datetime in
              UTC. Additional properties: `time_unit`.

            - `uuid`: Record a UUID v4.

            - `url`: Record a valid URL string.

            - `memory_distribution`: A histogram for recording memory usage
              values. Additional properties: `memory_unit`.

            - `custom_distribution`: A histogram with a custom range and number
              of buckets. This metric type is for legacy support only and is
              only allowed for metrics coming from GeckoView. Additional
              properties: `range_min`, `range_max`, `bucket_count`,
              `histogram_type`.

            - `rate`: Used to record the rate something happens relative to some
              other thing. For example, the number of HTTP connections that
              experience an error relative to the number of total HTTP
              connections made.

            - Additionally, labeled versions of many metric types are supported.
              These support the `labels`_ parameter, allowing multiple instances
              of the metric to be stored at a given set of labels. The labeled
              metric types include:

                `labeled_boolean`, `labeled_string`, `labeled_counter`.

            - `text`: Record long text data.

            - `object`: Record structured data based on a pre-defined schema
              Additional properties: `structure`.

        default: {}

      lifetime:
        title: Lifetime
        description: |
          Defines the lifetime of the metric. It must be one of the following
          values:

          - `ping` (default): The metric is reset each time it is sent in a
            ping.

          - `user`: The metric contains a property that is part of the user's
            profile and is never reset.

          - `application`: The metric contains a property that is related to the
            application, and is reset only at application restarts.
        enum:
          - ping
          - user
          - application
        default: ping

      send_in_pings:
        title: Send in pings
        description: |
          Which pings the metric should be sent on. If not specified, the metric
          is sent on the "default ping", which is the `events` ping for events,
          and the `metrics` ping for everything else. Most metrics don't need to
          specify this.

          (There is an additional special value of `all-pings` for internal
          Glean metrics only that is used to indicate that a metric may appear
          in any ping.)
        type: array
        items:
          anyOf:
            - $ref: "#/definitions/kebab_case"

        description: |
          **Required.**

          A list of email addresses to notify for important events with the
          metric or when people with context or ownership for the metric need to
          be contacted.

          **Required.**

          A list of bug URLs (e.g. Bugzilla and Github) that are relevant to
          this metric, e.g., tracking its original implementation or later
          changes to it.

          Prior to version 2.0.0 of the schema, bugs could also be integers.

      disabled:
        title: Disabled
        description: |
          If `true`, the metric is disabled, and any metric collection on it
          will be silently ignored at runtime.
        type: boolean
        default: false

      expires:
        title: Expires
        description: |
          **Required.**

          By default it may be one of the following values:
            - `<build date>`: An ISO date `yyyy-mm-dd` in UTC on which the
              metric expires. For example, `2019-03-13`. This date is checked at
              build time. Except in special cases, this form should be used so
              that the metric automatically "sunsets" after a period of time.
            - `<major version>`: An integer greater than 0 representing the
              major version the metric expires in. For example, `11`. The
              version is checked at build time against the major provided to the
              glean_parser and is only valid if a major version is provided at
              built time. If no major version is provided at build time and
              expiration by major version is used for a metric, an error is
              raised.
              Note that mixing expiration by date and version is not allowed
              within a product.
            - `never`: This metric never expires.
            - `expired`: This metric is manually expired.

          The default may be overriden in certain applications by the
          `custom_validate_expires` and `custom_is_expired` configs.
        oneOf:
          - type: string
          - type: integer
            minimum: 1

      version:
        title: Metric version
        description: |
          The version of the metric. A monotonically increasing value. If not
          provided, defaults to 0.

      time_unit:
        title: Time unit
        description: |
          For timespans and datetimes, specifies the unit that the metric will
          be stored and displayed in. If not provided, it defaults to
          "millisecond". Time values are sent to the backend as integers, so
          `time_unit`_ determines the maximum resolution at which timespans are
          recorded. Times are always truncated, not rounded, to the nearest time
          unit. For example, a measurement of 25 ns will be returned as 0 ms if
          `time_unit` is `"millisecond"`.

          For timing distributions, times are always recorded and sent in
          nanoseconds, but `time_unit` controls the minimum and maximum values.
          If not provided, it defaults to "nanosecond".

          - nanosecond: 1ns <= x <= 10 minutes
          - microsecond: 1μs <= x <= ~6.94 days
          - millisecond: 1ms <= x <= ~19 years

          Valid when `type`_ is `timespan`, `timing_distribution` or `datetime`.
        enum:
          - nanosecond
          - microsecond
          - millisecond
          - second
          - minute
          - hour
          - day

      memory_unit:
        title: Memory unit
        description: |
          The unit that the incoming memory size values are recorded in.

          The units are the power-of-2 units, so "kilobyte" is correctly a
          "kibibyte".

          - kilobyte == 2^10 ==         1,024 bytes
          - megabyte == 2^20 ==     1,048,576 bytes
          - gigabyte == 2^30 == 1,073,741,824 bytes

          Values are automatically converted to and transmitted as bytes.

          Valid when `type`_ is `memory_distribution`.
        enum:
          - byte
          - kilobyte
          - megabyte
          - gigabyte

      labels:
        title: Labels
        description: |
          A list of labels for a labeled metric.  If provided, the labels are
          enforced at run time, and recording to an unknown label is recorded
          to the special label `__other__`.  If not provided, the labels
          may be anything, but using too many unique labels will put some
          labels in the special label `__other__`.

          Valid with any of the labeled metric types.
        anyOf:
          - type: array
            uniqueItems: true
            items:

          - type: "null"

      extra_keys:
        title: Extra keys
        description: |
          The acceptable keys on the "extra" object sent with events. This is an
          object mapping the key to an object containing metadata about the key.
          A maximum of 50 extra keys is allowed.
          This metadata object has the following keys:

            - `description`: **Required.** A description of the key.

        title: Gecko Datapoint
        description: |
          This is a Gecko-specific property. It is the name of the Gecko metric
          to accumulate the data from, when using the Glean SDK in a product
          using GeckoView. See bug 1566356 for more context.

      histogram_type:
        title: Histogram type
        description: |
          The type of histogram bucketing to use:
            - `linear`: The buckets are linearly spaced within the range.
            - `exponential`: The buckets use the natural logarithmic so the
              smaller-valued buckets are smaller in size than the higher-valued
              buckets.

          Required when `type`_ is `custom_distribution`.
        enum:
          - linear
          - exponential

      unit:
        title: Unit
        description: |
          The unit of the metric.
          This is only required for metrics
          that don't already require a meaningful unit, e.g. `quantity`
          This is provided for informational purposes only and doesn't have any
          effect on data collection.

          Metric types like `timespan`, `datetime`
          and `timing_distribution` take a `time_unit` instead.

      data_sensitivity:
        title: The level of data sensitivity
        description: |
          There are four data collection categories related to data sensitivity
          [defined here](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection):

          - **Category 1: Technical Data:** (`technical`) Information about the
            machine or Firefox itself. Examples include OS, available memory,
            crashes and errors, outcome of automated processes like updates,
            safebrowsing, activation, version \#s, and buildid. This also
            includes compatibility information about features and APIs used by
            websites, addons, and other 3rd-party software that interact with
            Firefox during usage.

          - **Category 2: Interaction Data:** (`interaction`) Information about
            the user’s direct engagement with Firefox. Examples include how many
            tabs, addons, or windows a user has open; uses of specific Firefox
            features; session length, scrolls and clicks; and the status of
            discrete user preferences.
            It also includes information about the user's in-product journeys
            and product choices helpful to understand engagement (attitudes).
            For example, selections of add-ons or tiles to determine
            potential interest categories etc.

          - **Category 3: Stored Content & Communications:**
            (`stored_content`, formerly Web activity data, `web_activity`)
            Information about what people store, sync, communicate or connect to
            where the information is generally considered to be more sensitive
            and personal in nature.
            Examples include users' saved URLs or URL history,
            specific web browsing history, general information
            about their web browsing history
            (such as TLDs or categories of webpages visited over time)
            and potentially certain types of interaction data
            about specific web pages or stories visited
            (such as highlighted portions of a story).
            It also includes information such as content saved by users to
            an individual account like saved URLs, tags, notes, passwords
            and files as well as communications that users have with one another
            through a Mozilla service.

          - **Category 4: Highly sensitive data
            or clearly identifiable personal data:** (`highly_sensitive`)

            Information that directly identifies a person, or if combined with
            other data could identify a person.
            This data may be embedded within specific website content,
            such as memory contents, dumps, captures of screen data,
            or DOM data.
            Examples include account registration data like name, password,
            and email address associated with an account,
            payment data in connection with subscriptions or donations,
            contact information such as phone numbers or mailing addresses,
            email addresses associated with surveys, promotions
            and customer support contacts.
            It also includes any data from different categories that,
            when combined, can identify a person, device, household or account.
            For example Category 1 log data combined with Category 3 saved URLs.
            Additional examples are: voice audio commands
            (including a voice audio file), speech-to-text or text-to-speech
            (including transcripts), biometric data, demographic information,
            and precise location data associated with a persistent identifier,
            individual or small population cohorts.
            This is location inferred or determined from mechanisms

          Denominators for `rate` metrics may be private and internal
          or shared and external.
          External denominators are `counter` metrics.
          This field names the `counter` metric that serves as this
          `rate` metric's external denominator.
          The named denominator must be defined in this component
          so glean_parser can find it.
