I have WIP dashboard here https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/dashboard/sheehan-build-telemetry-dash which I am using to play around with the data and look for bugs in our collection and submission code (such as bug 1505205 and bug 1505325). Eventually we will make some more "official" dashboards, that work will be tracked in bug 1503983 should you wish to follow along. If you end up looking through the data and wonder why your pings do not appear, there is a bug in the submission code that will be resolved when the stack ending in D11279 lands. I encourage you to enable build telemetry anyways, as the generated pings will persist on disk and will be submitted once the fix lands and `mach` is run again. If you really want to see your data points in the dashboard and help us with early feedback, you can work around the bug by running `./mach python build/submit_telemetry_data.py ~/.mozbuild` (or wherever your mozbuild state directory is). :) Cheers, Connor ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
Re: Please enable build system telemetry
Yes, thanks! Out of curiosity, is there a dashboard somewhere where we can see aggregates of the current measurements? Thanks for your work, -Mike On Fri, Nov 9, 2018, 3:22 PM Doug Thayer Hooray for data! This is great.
