Metrics

This document enumerates the metrics collected by this project using the Glean SDK. This project may depend on other projects which also collect metrics. This means you might have to go searching through the dependency tree to get a full picture of everything collected by this project.

Pings

activation

This ping is intended to provide a measure of the activation of mobile products. It's generated when Fenix starts, right after Glean is initialized. It doesn't include the client_id, since it might be reporting an hashed version of the Google Advertising ID.

Data reviews for this ping:

Bugs related to this ping:

All Glean pings contain built-in metrics in the ping_info and client_info sections.

In addition to those built-in metrics, the following metrics are added to the ping:

Name Type Description Data reviews Extras Expiration Data Sensitivity
activation.activation_id uuid An alternate identifier, not correlated with the client_id, generated once and only sent with the activation ping. mozilla-mobile/fenix#1707, mozilla-mobile/fenix#13958 2021-04-01 4
activation.identifier string A hashed and salted version of the Google Advertising ID from the device. This will never be sent in a ping that also contains the client_id. mozilla-mobile/fenix#1707, mozilla-mobile/fenix#13958 2021-04-01 4

events.app_opened event A user opened the app (from cold start, to the homescreen or browser) mozilla-mobile/fenix#1067, mozilla-mobile/fenix#13958
  • source: The method used to open Fenix. Possible values are: app_icon, custom_tab or link
2021-04-01 2
events.app_opened_all_startup event A user opened the app to the HomeActivity. The HomeActivity encompasses the home screen, browser screen, settings screen, collections and other screens in the nav_graph. This differs from the app_opened probe because it measures all startups, not just cold startup. Note: There is a short gap between the time application goes into background and the time android reports the application going into the background. Note: This metric does not record souce when app opened from task switcher: open application -> press home button -> open recent tasks -> choose fenix. In this case will report [source = unknown, type = hot, has_saved_instance_state = false]. mozilla-mobile/fenix#12114, mozilla-mobile/fenix#13958, mozilla-mobile/fenix#13494, mozilla-mobile/fenix#15605
  • first_frame_pre_draw_nanos: the number of nanoseconds the application took to launch. This is the time difference between application launch(user pressing app_icon, launching a link) and until the first view is about to be drawn on the screen. If the time is not captured, this extra key will not be reported.
  • has_saved_instance_state: boolean value whether or not startup type has a savedInstance. using savedInstance, HomeActivity's previous state can be restored. This is an optional key since it is not applicable to all the cases. for example, when we are doing a hot start up, we cant have a savedInstanceState therefore we report only [APP_ICON, HOT] instead of [APP_ICON, HOT, false].
  • source: The method used to open Fenix. Possible values are app_icon, custom_tab, link or unknown. unknown is for startup sources where we can't pinpoint the cause. One UNKNOWN case is the app switcher where we don't know what variables to check to ensure this startup wasn't caused by something else.
  • type: the startup type for opening fenix. the application and HomeActivity either needs to be created or started again. possible values are cold, warm, hot or error. Error is for impossible cases. Please file a bug if you see the error case. app created AND HomeActivity created = cold app started AND HomeActivity created = warm app started AND HomeActivity started = hot app created AND HomeActivity started = error Some applications such as gmail launches the default browser in the background. So when we eventually click a link, browser is already started in the background. This means that custom_tab will mostly report warm startup type.
2021-06-01 2
events.app_received_intent event The system received an Intent for the HomeActivity. An intent is received an external entity wants to the app to display content. Intents can be received when the app is closed – at which point the app will be opened – or when the app is already opened – at which point the already open app will make changes such as loading a url. This can be used loosely as a heuristic for when the user requested to open the app. The HomeActivity encompasses the home screen and browser screen but may include other screens. This differs from the app_opened probe because it measures all startups, not just cold startup. mozilla-mobile/fenix#11940/, mozilla-mobile/fenix#13958
  • source: The method used to open Fenix. Possible values are app_icon, custom_tab, link or unknown

This value will only be set if the user has at least one recently used PWA. If they have 0, this metric will not be sent, resulting in a null value during analysis on the server-side. To disambiguate between a failed recently_used_pwa_count metric and 0 recent PWAs, please see has_recent_pwas. mozilla-mobile/fenix#11982, mozilla-mobile/fenix#15713 2021-08-01 2
metrics.search_count labeled_counter The labels for this counter are <search-engine-name>.<source>. If the search engine is bundled with Fenix search-engine-name will be the name of the search engine. If it's a custom search engine (defined: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/1607) the value will be custom. source will be: action, suggestion, widget, shortcut, topsite (depending on the source from which the search started). Also added the other option for the source but it should never enter on this case. mozilla-mobile/fenix#1677, mozilla-mobile/fenix#5216, mozilla-mobile/fenix#7310, mozilla-mobile/fenix#15713 2021-08-01 1, 2

metrics.tabs_open_count counter A counter that indicates how many NORMAL tabs a user has open. This value will only be set if the user has at least one open tab. If they have 0, this ping will not get sent, resulting in a null value. To disambiguate between a failed tabs_open_count ping and 0 open tabs, please see has_open_tabs. mozilla-mobile/fenix#12024, mozilla-mobile/fenix#15713 2021-08-01 2

metrics.top_sites_count counter A counter that indicates how many top sites a user has. This value will only be set if the user has at least one top site. If they have 0, this ping will not get sent, resulting in a null value. To disambiguate between a failed top_sites_count ping and 0 top sites, please see has_top_sites. mozilla-mobile/fenix#9556, mozilla-mobile/fenix#15713 2021-08-01 2

startup-timeline

This ping is intended to provide an understanding of startup performance.

In addition to being captured on real devices, the ping data was prematurely optimized into this separate ping to be isolated from other metrics to be more easily captured by performance testing automation but that hasn't happened in practice. We would have removed it but implementation details don't make that possible: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/17972#issuecomment-781002987

All Glean pings contain built-in metrics in the ping_info and client_info sections.

In addition to those built-in metrics, the following metrics are added to the ping:

Name Type Description Data reviews Extras Expiration Data Sensitivity
startup.timeline.clock_ticks_per_second_v2 quantity The number of clock tick time units that occur in one second on this particular device. This value is expected to be used in conjunction with the framework_primary/secondary metrics. mozilla-mobile/fenix#9788, mozilla-mobile/fenix#15713, mozilla-mobile/fenix#18158
  • unit: clock ticks per second
 2021-08-01 1
startup.timeline.framework_primary timespan The duration the Android framework takes to start before letting us run code in *Application.init when this device has clock_ticks_per_second_v2 equal to 100: if it's not equal to 100, then this value is captured in framework_secondary. We split this into two metrics to make it easier to analyze in GLAM. We split on 100 because when we did our initial brief analysis - https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/75591 - the results for clocks ticks were overwhelmingly 100. The duration is calculated from appInitTimestamp - processStartTimestamp. processStartTimestamp is derived from the clock tick time unit, which is expected to be less granular than nanoseconds. Therefore, we convert and round our timestamps to clock ticks before computing the difference and convert back to nanoseconds to report. For debugging purposes, clock_ticks_per_second_v2, which may vary between devices, is also reported as a metric mozilla-mobile/fenix#9788, mozilla-mobile/fenix#15713, mozilla-mobile/fenix#18043 2021-08-01 1
startup.timeline.framework_secondary timespan The duration the Android framework takes to start before letting us run code in *Application.init when this device has clock_ticks_per_second_v2 not equal to 100. For more details on this metric, see framework_primary mozilla-mobile/fenix#18043 2021-08-01 1
startup.timeline.framework_start_error boolean An error when attempting to record framework_primary/secondary - the application init timestamp returned a negative value - which is likely indicative of a bug in the implementation. mozilla-mobile/fenix#9788, mozilla-mobile/fenix#15713 2021-08-01 1
startup.timeline.framework_start_read_error boolean An error when attempting to read stats from /proc pseudo-filesystem - privacy managers can block access to reading these files - the application will catch a file reading exception. mozilla-mobile/fenix#10481, mozilla-mobile/fenix#15713 2021-08-01 1
