Mobile/Fennec/Android/Java telemetry: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:40, 9 June 2016

This is currently how I (mcomella) test local telemetry. It could be improved.

Get a server:

git clone https://github.com/vdjeric/gzipServer.git

You'll need to edit the .py file to remove the windows bindings (assuming you don't use windows)
You'll need to tell the script listen on your ip address. On OS X, run `ifconfig`, look under en0, get the "inet" address, and put in in the script.
Run the server locally:
```
python gzipServer.py -p <port>
```

Go to TelemetryConstants, set UPLOAD_ENABLED to true.
Build!
Go to about:config and change the "toolkit.telemetry.server" preference to the ip address you set, i.e. `http://127.0.0.1:8080`. Be sure to get http vs. https correct!

If you're using a local IP, make sure your computer & your device are on the same network
e.g. for the core ping should be sent every time the application is opened so close and open fennec to be sure a ping is sent.
The gzip server output should say which file the ping was saved in
`cat <that-file>` to ensure your ping looks correct.
