I've created a draft dashboard that does this, which can be found here:
https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/2wpKk7DIk/gadget-variantally-metrics.
Hopefully that's what you were aiming for.

Per https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grafana#Editing_dashboards, you'll
need to request a volunteer NDA in order to be able to edit Grafana
dashboards.

[Wikitech-l] Removal of the mw.eventLog.Schema class without deprecation

[Sam Smith]

Hello,

I've proposed the removal of the mw.eventLog.Schema class without
deprecation.

Patch: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/780882
Phab task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T305491
Uses:
- https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/search/?q=%5C.Schema%5C(=js
-
https://global-search.toolforge.org/?q=%5C.Schema%5C%28=1=2%2C4%2C8=%28Gadgets-definition%7C.*%5C.%28js%7Ccss%7Cjson%29%29

The EventLogging extension provides the mw.eventLog.Schema class as part of
its JavaScript API. The class was introduced circa 2015 and was used in a
handful of extensions maintained by the Readers Web team around that time.
As of writing, however, it is not used in any Wikimedia-hosted codebase,
user script, or gadget.

Thanks,

-Sam

o/ Michael,

Do you have a list of revisions that you're testing the diff view with on
testwiki and mediawikiwiki? I'd like to give this list to the Readers Web
QA'er, Anthony Borba, so he can take a quick pass at them using the Vector
and Minerva skins to see if there are any bugs that we might be able to
help out with.

Thanks to you and your team for your hard work,
