Environment
===========
The environment consists of data that is expected to be characteristic for performance and other behavior and not expected to change too often.
Changes to most of these data points are detected (where possible and sensible) and will lead to a session split in the :doc:`main-ping`.
The environment data may also be submitted by other ping types.
*Note:* This is not submitted with all ping types due to privacy concerns. This and other data is inspected under the `data collection policy <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection>`_.
Some parts of the environment must be fetched asynchronously at startup. We don't want other Telemetry components to block on waiting for the environment, so some items may be missing from it until the async fetching finished.
This currently affects the following sections:
- profile
- addons

Settings
--------
defaultSearchEngine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Contains the string identifier or name of the default search engine provider. This will not be present in environment data collected before the Search Service initialization.
The special value ``NONE`` could occur if there is no default search engine.
The special value ``UNDEFINED`` could occur if a default search engine exists but its identifier could not be determined.
This field's contents are ``Services.search.defaultEngine.identifier`` (if defined) or ``"other-"`` + ``Services.search.defaultEngine.name`` if not. In other words, search engines without an ``.identifier`` are prefixed with ``other-``.
