Remove action_monthly_active_users_sfe_edit and action_monthly_active_users_snippet_editor_edit RedisHll metrics
Problem
usage_activity_by_stage_monthly.create.action_monthly_active_users_...
shortened to action_monthly_active_users_...
and redis_hll_counters.ide_edit.g_edit...
shortened to g_edit...
to improve readability below.
When removing create.action_monthly_active_users_web_ide_edit
in !111351 (comment 1269278048) we realized that the two other metrics in the same method are also duplicates:
-
action_monthly_active_users_sfe_edit
is a duplicate ofg_edit_by_sfe_monthly
. -
action_monthly_active_users_snippet_editor_edit
is a duplicate ofg_edit_by_snippet_ide_monthly
.
Since the g_edit_**
variants support more time frames (weekly + monthly) and are more up-to-date we want to get rid of the action_monthly_active_users_
variant. We recognize that there are slight variations in both metrics, but this should be due to different timeframes being applied and not have any impact on the usability of either of these metric versions (see this graph)
We verified within https://gitlab.com/gitlab-data/analytics/-/issues/15681 that these metrics are no longer used in any dashboards
Outcome
Both metrics and the surrounding method are removed
We should follow the docs to remove the metric.
