As raised by @Mayakp.wiki, it would be helpful to have a field that would allow us to filter for events that were set by a QA tester. This is particularly important for events which do not include a user_id, which would otherwise be used to identify events originating from the QA tester or QA process.

Hi @phuedx, do we have a 'test' or 'debug' field in the Event schema?
Didn't see it listed here - https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Metrics_Platform/Event_Schema

The mediawiki.is_debug_mode field indicates whether "the MediaWiki instance is considered to be running in debug mode." In a moment, I'll update that description to clarify that it indicates whether the MediaWiki EventLogging extension is running in debug mode.
There's some discussion in T277106: [Metrics Platform] QA/testing privleged mode: eventlogging-display-web, a QA user group, or something else? as to whether this is sufficient. If, for example, we also said that the user being in the "wmf-qa" group is an indicator, then we can use the schema's performer.groups field.

Thanks @phuedx for the update! It is super useful to have these QA fields. Pls feel free to let me know whenever you would like to have Product-Analytics represented in these discussions.
