<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello,</div><div><br></div><div> Due to a forecast increase in
demand for Event Telemetry, we have (via bug 1460595) moved Event
Telemetry transmission from the "main" ping to special-purpose "event"
pings.</div><div><br></div><div> This has a couple of benefits, most
notably that they are sent more often (less latency) and can also send
more event records (less/no truncation).</div><div><br></div><div> With validation analysis
verifying that things are going well (bug 1463410), this behaviour should land in Beta 7 of Firefox 62. (Where it will once again be validated (bug 1474295) in about a week)<br></div><div><br></div><div>
This news should mostly only matter to you if you analyze events in
situ within a ping. If the words "Spark," "ATMO," and "Databricks" mean
little or nothing to you, then you can probably just take from this that
we are just, once again, making things a bit better. Which we really
enjoy doing :)</div><div><br></div><div>As always, please do reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
