What will the absolute number tell you? e.g. what does 384731 mean?

Usually, it's better to have metrics that have a corresponding baseline - so you
can say what percentage of the overall resulted in this action. For example, in
this case, a good baseline might be how many times the applist doodle was shown.

We will compare it to the other stats such as how often the launcher is opened.

For example, AppListDoodleClicked / (number of app list launches).

Having said that, I can't find a stat which tells you how many times the app
list is launched. Is there a way to read that out of a stat like
AppListWarmupDuration? I'd prefer if there was just a stat that collects app
list launches.

[Alexei Svitkine (slow), 2015/02/19 22:08:20]

When you find the stat, please update this histograms' description to mention
this.

Otherwise, I'm OK if you just add app launches to this histogram, so that it's
an enum histogram with the following buckets:

APP_LAUNCHED = 0,
DOODLE_CLICKED = 1

Then, it's much easier to see everything in one histogram than having to open
multiple histograms and try to correlate things. And you'd automatically get
things like timeline dashboard to plot percentages of an enum over time.

Done.
