The location that a hook is registered affects when the hook is run. It's recommended to register both the `TracingHook` and `MetricsHook` globally in most situations, but it's possible to only enable the hook on specific clients. You should **never** register these hooks both globally and on a client. More information on hooks can be found in the [OpenFeature documentation][hook-concept]. ### Register Globally -The `OpenTelemetryHook` can be set on the OpenFeature singleton.
