Does Flipt expose any metrics when it fails to sync flags from a git based backend like gitlab or github ?

Does Flipt expose any metrics when it fails to sync flags from a git based backend like gitlab or github ? From the code and metrics exposed, it doesn't look like it does.

I still want to check if I'm missing something.

Thanks

Hi @rohitnarayan! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the flipt team.

You're correct—Flipt does not currently expose any metrics specifically for failures when syncing flags from a git-based backend like GitLab or GitHub. The relevant code handles these errors by logging them, but does not increment or expose any dedicated metrics for git sync failures. This is consistent across both the implementation and the metrics definitions in the codebase, and there are no indications in documentation, discussions, or recent pull requests that such metrics exist or are planned at this time [source 1] [source 2].

To reply, just mention @dosu.
