Flag impressions

1 minute read

Flag impressions in the CloudBees platform enable you to visualize and analyze your feature flag configuration data. Every time a flag is evaluated, that evaluation is counted as an impression.

  • The flag configuration must be enabled to calculate any impressions.

  • Impression data is fetched and reported every few minutes.
