Zenmanage recently released a new report to help better understand how your feature flags are being used. In fact, this is the first of several reports that are being created to better understand your data. The new reports section is available from any project environment on the left bar.

Knowing the last time a feature flag was evaluated can be important for several reasons:

Performance Optimization: Feature flags can sometimes involve complex logic or queries to determine their state. If the evaluation process is resource-intensive, knowing the last evaluation time can help in optimizing performance by avoiding unnecessary re-evaluations within short time intervals.

Debugging and Troubleshooting: When troubleshooting issues related to feature flags, knowing when the flag was last evaluated can provide valuable context. It helps in understanding whether recent changes or deployments might have affected the flag's behavior.

Auditing and Compliance: In environments where auditing and compliance are important (e.g., regulated industries), keeping track of when feature flags were last evaluated can help in ensuring that changes are properly logged and documented.

Predictive Analysis: Analyzing the frequency and timing of feature flag evaluations over time can provide insights into user behavior, system usage patterns, and the effectiveness of feature rollouts. This information can be valuable for making data-driven decisions about future feature developments and deployments.

Overall, understanding the timing of feature flag evaluations can contribute to better system performance, enhanced debugging capabilities, improved compliance, and more informed decision-making processes.
