Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [ticket:24260 karsten]:
 >  - Are we going to list all events in the displayed timeframe or just
 the ones that are related to the displayed country, (pluggable) transport,
 IP version, or server type (relay or bridge)?

 I was envisioning that we would filter out unrelated timeline entries;
 i.e., when you're looking at a Turkey graph, don't show Brazil entries.
 Same with pluggable transports.

 However there's still the question of what to do with entries that have a
 blank "places" or "protocols" cell. I've been thinking of a blank cell as
 meaning "worldwide" or "all"; e.g. when there's a meek bridge outage I put
 it in places="" protocols="meek", because there's nothing tying it to a
 particular country. But if you are looking at a graph for a particular
 country, should you see those timeline rows? I'm not sure. I thought the
 logic would be simple but it was more difficult than I anticipated.
 Currently (Last modified: 2017-11-06) at
 https://people.torproject.org/~dcf/metrics-country.html I am showing all
 the blank entries, even when you select a country. For example: if you
 have selected country=eg, you will get all the entries with "eg" in
 "places", and all the entries with blank "places", but not any of the
 entries that are non-blank and do not contain "eg". I'm not sure I like
 it, though; maybe it would be better to show the blank entries only when
 you have country=all.

 The function `accept_entry` is what decides which rows to show.

 >  - We are adding this list only to the graphs in the Users category,
 because the metrics timeline focuses on those graphs, too, right?

 I think yes, for now at least only in the Users category. There are a few
 entries, like "deb.torproject.org upgrades from tor 0.2.9 to tor 0.3.0,"
 that affect other category like Servers, but they are not well
 systematized.
