Upgrade to the new monitoring experience - no data

Hello,

We have set up the 'new monitoring experience' for two arc enabled servers but even 16 hours later there is no data ingested.
The setup is pretty straightforward, you click 'Configure', in the Capabilities, the 'Preview OpenTelemetry metrics' check box is checked and you select the Azure Monitor Workspace (I created a new one when setting up the first machine), you click 'Review + enable' and it is done.

For each machine I got a message 'Onboarding has completed. Data may take a few minutes to start flowing while configuration syncs.' .
So far so good.
But, 16 hours later, there is still no data in the workspace.
I don't know if this could be the problem but when I check the DCRs, I see that a DCR is created for each machine and the platform type of the DCR is set to 'Linux' ! (my test servers are Windows machines)
I can't find any way to change that setting.

If I try to create a new DCR, I can't find the Microsoft-OtelPerfMetrics in the Data source list.

Any ideas if the cause of having no data can be related to the wrong type for the DCRs and how I can correct that ?

Thanks for your help

Hi MarcVanderhaegen
Currently, proxy support for metrics is not available. Microsoft plans to add this feature in an upcoming AMA release.
