EVALONLYMODE Disables UI access we cannot even see the enabled/diabled flagKeys
Any alternative on UI to at least fetch read only values to know what flag keys we have on UI.

There're two reasons UI is not enabled for FLAGR_EVAL_ONLY_MODE

  • UI talks the crud API set, which is not enabled because FLAGR_EVAL_ONLY_MODE can only read from the in-memory cache, and doesn't support any changes to the data source
  • FLAGR_EVAL_ONLY_MODE will derive the source of truth from either json_file or json_http, and we can assume that those files are created from a normal flagr deployment or source-code controlled place.
