Preferences
===========
Telemetry behaviour is controlled through the preferences listed here.
Default behaviors
-----------------
Sending only happens on official builds (i.e. with ``MOZILLA_OFFICIAL`` set) with ``MOZ_TELEMETRY_REPORTING`` defined.
All other builds drop all outgoing pings, so they will also not retry sending them later.
Preferences
-----------
``toolkit.telemetry.unified``
This controls whether unified behavior is enabled. If true:
* Telemetry is always enabled and recording *base* data.
* Telemetry will send additional ``main`` pings.
``toolkit.telemetry.enabled``
If ``unified`` is off, this controls whether the Telemetry module is enabled.
If ``unified`` is on, this controls whether to record *extended* data.
This preference is controlled through the `Preferences` dialog.
Note that the default value here of this pref depends on the define ``RELEASE_BUILD`` and the channel.
If ``RELEASE_BUILD`` is set, ``MOZ_TELEMETRY_ON_BY_DEFAULT`` gets set, which means this pref will default to ``true``.
This is overridden by the preferences code on the "beta" channel, the pref also defaults to ``true`` there.
``datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled``
Send the data we record if user has consented to FHR. This preference is controlled through the `Preferences` dialog.
``toolkit.telemetry.archive.enabled``
Allow pings to be archived locally. This can only be enabled if ``unified`` is on.
``toolkit.telemetry.server``
The server Telemetry pings are sent to.
``toolkit.telemetry.log.level``
This sets the Telemetry logging verbosity per ``Log.jsm``, with ``Trace`` or ``0`` being the most verbose and the default being ``Warn``.
By default logging goes only the console service.
``toolkit.telemetry.log.dump``
Sets whether to dump Telemetry log messages to ``stdout`` too.
Data-choices notification
-------------------------
``toolkit.telemetry.reportingpolicy.firstRun``
This preference is not present until the first run. After, its value is set to false. This is used to show the infobar with a more aggressive timeout if it wasn't shown yet.
``datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled``
This is the data submission master kill switch. If disabled, no policy is shown or upload takes place, ever.
``datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionPolicyNotifiedTime``
Records the date user was shown the policy. This preference is also used on Android.
``datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionPolicyAcceptedVersion``
Records the version of the policy notified to the user. This preference is also used on Android.
``datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionPolicyBypassNotification``
Used in tests, it allows to skip the notification check.
``datareporting.policy.currentPolicyVersion``
Stores the current policy version, overrides the default value defined in TelemetryReportingPolicy.jsm.
``datareporting.policy.minimumPolicyVersion``
The minimum policy version that is accepted for the current policy. This can be set per channel.
``datareporting.policy.minimumPolicyVersion.channel-NAME``
This is the only channel-specific version that we currently use for the minimum policy version.
Testing
-------
The following prefs are for testing purpose only.
``toolkit.telemetry.initDelay``
Delay before initializing telemetry (seconds).
``toolkit.telemetry.minSubsessionLength``
Minimum length of a telemetry subsession (seconds).
``toolkit.telemetry.collectInterval``
Minimum interval between data collection (seconds).
``toolkit.telemetry.scheduler.tickInterval``
Interval between scheduler ticks (seconds).
``toolkit.telemetry.scheduler.idleTickInterval``
Interval between scheduler ticks when the user is idle (seconds).
``toolkit.telemetry.idleTimeout``
Timeout until we decide whether a user is idle or not (seconds).
