The activation ping

Description

This ping provides a measure of the activation of mobile products.

Scheduling

The activation ping is automatically sent at the very first startup, after Glean is initialized. It is only sent once and only re-attempted a subsequent startups if it hasn't been sent yet.

Contents

This ping contains the following fields:

Field name	Type	Description
identifier	String	An hashed and salted version of the Google Advertising ID from the device.
activation_id	UUID	An alternate identifier, not correlated with the client_id, generated once and only sent with the activation ping.

The activation ping also includes the common ping sections found in all pings, with the exclusion of the client_id (as defined by the pings.yaml file).
