Azure Database for PostgreSql Flexible Server missing CPU, memory, storage metrics

Question

Since ~2026-02-21 02:20 UTC one of our Azure Database for PostgreSql Flexible Server instances stopped showing CPU, memory and storage metrics.

The rest of the metrics (ie database availability, number of connections) seem to be fine.

Restarting the server didn't help.

Same issue as here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5567191/azure-flexible-postgres-server-missing-cpu-memory

Answer 1

Hi Roman Kudryk

We found that the containers were unhealthy. The PG team has restarted them; could you please check and confirm if the metrics will appear?

Hope this helps, Please let us know if you have any questions and concerns.

Answer 2

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

 

This is most likely a platform-side telemetry issue rather than anything wrong with your server. When CPU, memory, and storage metrics disappear but connection and availability metrics remain, it usually means the infrastructure metrics pipeline in Microsoft Azure is lagging or partially failing for that region or cluster. Restarts do not help because the problem is upstream of the db VM.

In practice, the fix is to open a support ticket and reference the known incident reported in the thread you shared. Microsoft typically restores the metrics once backend telemetry sync is corrected. Until then, use query-level monitoring (pg_stat views, extensions, or custom alerts) if you need temporary visibility.
