Azure IOT hub edge agent metrics not sending metrics related to memory usage by the module. edgeAgent_used_memory_bytes only exposing the data related to host not all the modules deployed in the Edge Device.
Edge runtime deployed in Raspberry Pi Bullseye linux/arm.

2023-11-13T09:55:24.4766667+00:00 I am trying to access the RAM used by all the module in the IOT edge device using edgeAgent_used_memory_bytes produced by edgeAgent but It showing data only for host RAM uses not for all the modules deployed in the edge run time.

2023-11-13T11:02:26.9166667+00:00 Hi Chromosome ,
Are you routing these metrics value to Azure IoT Hub ? if so , have you tried viewing the metrics using log analytics workbook? or which visualization tool you are using it to view those results ?
Regards,
Saravanan Ganesan.

2023-11-13T11:29:22.2033333+00:00 I have tried accessing the metrics using azure metric collector module and we have set up some custom solution to monitor the metrics. I can access other metrics like CPU usage Network usage and all but when I try to access memory usage using edgeAgent_used_memory_bytes Produced by the edgeAgent , I am not getting the memory usage by all the module. edgeAgent_used_memory_bytes only showing host metrics.
PS: However its working fine for UBUNTU (linux/amd) base OS but for Raspbian OS (Bullseye linux/arm) its not working.

I have the same issue on multiple arm32 Revolution Pi Devices using Debian. However the same setup works on Raspberry Pi arm64 Devices.
edgeAgent_used_memory_bytes Entries get written to the InsightsMetrics, however only those of host and none of the modules.
