| gfx.checkerboard.duration |[timing_distribution](https://mozilla.github.io/glean/book/user/metrics/timing_distribution.html) |The duration of a checkerboard event. Checkerboarding is when painting has not kept up with asynchronous panning and zooming so the compositor has to display a "checkerboard pattern" (or in practice, the background color) rather than the actual page content.  |[1](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1584109#c1)||never | |

The second set is that in which the APZC is actively transforming content in the compositor, since it could potentially transform it so as to display checkerboarding to the user. Combined with other information, this allows us to meaningfully say how frequently users actually enncounters checkerboarding.  |[1](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1584109#c1)||never | |
| gfx.checkerboard.severity |[custom_distribution](https://mozilla.github.io/glean/book/user/metrics/custom_distribution.html) |An opaque measurement of the severity of a checkerboard event. This doesn't have units, it's just useful for comparing two checkerboard events to see which one is worse, for some implementation-specific definition of "worse". The larger the value, the worse the checkerboarding.  |[1](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1584109#c1)||never | |
