The main Glean API.

Before any data collection can take place, the Glean SDK must be initialized from the application.

>>> Glean.initialize(
...     application_id="my-app",
...     application_version="0.0.0",
...     upload_enabled=True,
...     data_dir=Path.home() / ".glean",
... )

Static methods

def handle_client_active()

Performs the collection/cleanup operations required by becoming active.

This functions generates a baseline ping with reason active and then sets the dirty bit. This should be called whenever the consuming product becomes active (e.g. getting to foreground).

def handle_client_inactive()

Performs the collection/cleanup operations required by becoming inactive.

This functions generates a baseline and an events ping with reason inactive and then clears the dirty bit. This should be called whenever the consuming product becomes inactive (e.g. getting to background).

def initialize(application_id: str,
application_version: str,
upload_enabled: bool,
configuration: Configuration | None = None,
data_dir: pathlib.Path | None = None,
application_build_id: str | None = None,
log_level: int | None = None) ‑> None

Initialize the Glean SDK.

This should only be initialized once by the application, and not by libraries using the Glean SDK. A message is logged to error and no changes are made to the state if initialize is called a more than once.

Args

application_id : str

The application id to use when sending pings.

application_version : str

The version of the application sending Glean data. The meaning of this field is application-specific, but it is highly recommended to set this to something meaningful.

upload_enabled : bool

Controls whether telemetry is enabled. If disabled, all persisted metrics, events and queued pings (except first_run_date) are cleared.

configuration : Configuration

(optional) An object with global settings.

data_dir : pathlib.Path

The path to the Glean data directory.

application_build_id : str

(optional) The build identifier generated by the CI system (e.g. "1234/A").

log_level : int

(optional) The level of log messages that Glean will emit. One of the constants in the Python logging module: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL. If you need a specialized logging configuration, such as to redirecting, filtering or reformatting, you should use the Python logging module's API directly, but that will not affect logging any of Glean's networking operations which happen in a subprocess. Details in the "Debugging Python applications with the Glean SDK" chapter in the docs.

def is_initialized() ‑> bool

Returns True if the Glean SDK has been initialized.

def set_collection_enabled(enabled: bool) ‑> None

Enable or disable Glean collection and upload.

Metric collection is enabled by default.

When collection is disabled, metrics aren't recorded at all and no data is uploaded. Note: Individual pings can be enabled if they don't follow this setting. See PingType.set_enabled.

When disabling, all pending metrics, events and queued pings are cleared.

When enabling, the core Glean metrics are recreated.

Args

enabled : bool

When True, enable metric collection.

def set_experiment_active(experiment_id: str, branch: str, extra: Dict[str, str] | None = None) ‑> None

Indicate that an experiment is running. Glean will then add an experiment annotation to the environment which is sent with pings. This information is not persisted between runs.

Args

experiment_id : str

The id of the active experiment (maximum 100 bytes)

branch : str

The experiment branch (maximum 100 bytes)

extra (dict of str -> str): Optional metadata to output with the ping

def set_experiment_inactive(experiment_id: str) ‑> None

Indicate that the experiment is no longer running.

Args

experiment_id : str

The id of the experiment to deactivate.

def set_experimentation_id(experimentation_id: str)

Dynamically set the experimentation identifier, as opposed to setting it through the configuration during initialization.

Args

experimentation_id : str

The string experimentation identifier to set

def set_upload_enabled(enabled: bool) ‑> None

DEPRECATED Enable or disable Glean collection and upload.

Metric collection is enabled by default.

When uploading is disabled, metrics aren't recorded at all and no data is uploaded.

When disabling, all pending metrics, events and queued pings are cleared.

When enabling, the core Glean metrics are recreated.

DEPRECATION NOTICE: This API is deprecated. Use set_collection_enabled instead.

Args

enabled : bool

When True, enable metric collection.

def shutdown()

Shuts down Glean in an orderly fashion.

def test_get_experiment_data(experiment_id: str)

Returns the stored data for the requested active experiment, for testing purposes only.

Args

experiment_id : str

The id of the experiment to look for.

Returns

experiment_data (RecordedExperiment): The data associated with the experiment.

def test_get_experimentation_id() ‑> str

Returns the stored experimentation id, for testing purposes only.

Returns

experimentation_id (str): The experimentation id set by the client.

def test_is_experiment_active(experiment_id: str) ‑> bool

Tests whether an experiment is active, for testing purposes only.

Args

experiment_id : str

The id of the experiment to look for.

Returns

is_active (bool): If the experiement is active and reported in pings.
