We noticed in weekly pipeline health triage that the messaging-system/onboarding ping sometimes contain an attribution.dltoken field that is not present in the schema. Should it be added to the schema? Are we expecting to see this field populated?

I am not sure about if this is a new addition to the schema.

Bouncing NI to :pdahiya.

It seems with fix of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1677497 we are collecting dlToken attribution in onboarding pings

NI @kirk to help confirm that dlToken attribution is reliable and now collected for all channels and not just Nightly.

We should update our data docs and schema as needed.

After chatting with Punam in another thread, confirmed the attribution.dltoken was added and data reviewed in bug 1677497.

She will make a PR to add this field to the schema.

As far as I know, it has been collected for all channels since it was added in Bug 1677497. I'm not sure what to say about how reliable it is. I'm not particularly familiar with the code that creates and retrieves this data. I just added the plumbing so that we would store the value and add it to the telemetry.

Submitted patch https://github.com/mozilla-services/mozilla-pipeline-schemas/pull/727

Thanks for submitting the patch! This is now merged, and the field will be added to the relevant tables with the next schema deploy within 24 hours.
