PostgreSQL Flexible Server metrics monitoring

Question

Hello.
I monitor Azure metrics on PostgreSQL Flexible server.
I expected according to the documentation that metrics are recorded every minute
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/flexible-server/concepts-monitoring

But in json log I see that records are with 7-10 minutes delayed.

{ "count": 2, "total": 48940417, "minimum": 24470008, "maximum": 24470409, "average": 24470208.5, "resourceId": "/SUBSCRIPTIONS/82A234EE-1D2B-484B-A6D1-8E611A6CFB6B/RESOURCEGROUPS/014921-PGATAZURE-GWC-DEV-RG/PROVIDERS/MICROSOFT.DBFORPOSTGRESQL/FLEXIBLESERVERS/014479-PGATAZURE-GWC-DEV-BAWDBD01", "time": "2022-08-08T12:26:00.0000000Z", "metricName": "maximum_used_transactionIDs", "timeGrain": "PT1M"}

Thank you for every answer.

Hi there,

You are right, Metrics are collected\recorder every one minute (you can see it in Metric Storage pane, for example)
But the exportation to storage accounts could take more time for the processing
