+
+#### Flag evaluation metrics
+
+Flag evaluation counts appear in Datadog when `DD_METRICS_OTEL_ENABLED=true` is set for the PHP tracer. Each evaluation emits a `feature_flag.evaluations` counter metric tagged with the flag key, result variant, and evaluation reason. If this metric does not appear, verify the setting is enabled and the Datadog PHP SDK version supports it.
+
+#### Experiment exposures
+
+Exposures appear in Datadog only for flags associated with an experiment. Standard feature flags without an experiment association do not generate exposure events. If exposures are missing:
+
+1. Verify the flag is associated with an experiment in the Datadog UI.
+2. Verify the Agent's `DD_API_KEY` is correct and the Agent is receiving events.
+3. Verify the evaluation context uses flat primitive attributes. Nested arrays, objects, and null values are ignored for exposure reporting.
