      4 Build Telemetry
      5 ===============
      6 
      7 The build system (specifically, all the build tooling hooked
      8 up to ``./mach``) has been configured to collect metrics data
      9 points and errors for various build system actions. This data
     10 helps drive team planning for the build team and ensure that
     11 resources are applied to build processes that need them most.
     12 You can adjust your telemetry settings by editing your
     13 ``~/.mozbuild/machrc`` file.
     14 
     15 Glean Telemetry
     16 ===============
     17 
     18 Mozbuild reports data using `Glean <https://mozilla.github.io/glean/>`_ via
     19 :ref:`mach_telemetry`.  The metrics collected are documented :ref:`here<metrics>`.
     20 
     21 Error Reporting
     22 ===============
     23 
     24 ``./mach`` uses `Sentry <https://sentry.io/welcome/>`_
     25 to automatically report errors to `our issue-tracking dashboard
     26 <https://sentry.prod.mozaws.net/operations/mach/>`_.

     28 Information captured
     29 ++++++++++++++++++++
     30 
     31 Sentry automatically collects useful information surrounding
     32 the error to help the build team discover what caused the
     33 issue and how to reproduce it. This information includes:
     34 
     35 * Environmental information, such as the computer name, timestamp, Python runtime and Python module versions
     36 * Process arguments
     37 * The stack trace of the error, including contextual information:
     38 
     39    * The data contained in the exception
     40    * Functions and their respective source file names, line numbers
     41    * Variables in each frame
     42 * `Sentry "Breadcrumbs" <https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/default-integrations/>`_,
     43  which are important events that have happened which help contextualize the error, such as:
     44 
     45    * An HTTP request has occurred
     46    * A subprocess has been spawned
     47    * Logging has occurred
     48 
     49 Note that file paths may be captured, which include absolute paths (potentially including usernames).
