I have a recently created Azure Container Instance that has been running for 5 hours now, but I don't see any metric data (CPU, Memory, etc).
I have confirmed that the container is running, there has been no restarts, and the application is functioning as expected. There are also no other containers running the container group.
Why are these metrics not working? Is this a bug or do I need to setup another resource to get data collected?
A Log analytics Workspace should be enabled to get the metrics. Have you enabled the container Insights which involves enabling a Log Analytics Workspace also as indicated below:

Metrics are reported immediately for the container instance I just created as below:
The image I used is the public docker image from my docker hub repository: registry.hub.docker.com/manuphilip/tomcat
You may quickly try the same image and see if it works in the region you tested the other image.
@Manu Philip - I tried this with the tomcat image you suggested above, and I can confirm I do get metrics showing up.
This proves that it is possible, but I'm still stuck trying to understand why metrics aren't working on my container (and I know the containers are running and functioning as expected). I created my containers via bicep template. Could there be a bug there?
Could it be to do with the type of app? My app is a .NET 6 console app running several hosted services.
I don't see an option to 'enable container insights' from within my container instance. I only see the following:
Is your example above definitely for container instances? And not Kubernetes?
Did you have to link the workspace to the ACI on creation?
The example I showed is from aks blade. Are you able to see a similar screen from aks blade as below? We can enable the workspace from there
Hi @Manu Philip ,
Firstly, thanks for your help on this.
I am not using AKS. The only service I have enabled is an Azure Container Instance.
Cheers,
Dan
It helps to identify the issue I think. Azure Monitor is now supporting only Linux containers. Reference: container-instances-monitor

I've narrowed this down to being a bug between regions. If I use bicep to deploy a hello world ACI to Canada Central, I get no metrics. However, if I deploy the exact same template to Australia East, the metrics work as expected. Seems like a bug to me.
In that case, I suggest to raise a case with Microsoft and hope, that helps !
