Azure Database for PostgreSQL Metric Storage Percent remains empty

Question

Hi Community,

i have a Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible Server and want to monitor the Metric "Storage Percent". When I configure the According Graph, it remains empty:

As far as I found out through googling, this Metric should be Active per default and I can not find a possibility to switch it on or off. Any Recomendations on how to fix it so I can monitor this Value?

Thanks in Advance and best regards,

Benjamin

Hi @Benjamin Krüger

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

It appears that you're encountering an issue where the Storage Percent metric for your Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server is not displaying any data in the Azure portal, despite it being expected to be active by default.

Please ensure the time range for the metric is set correctly. The Azure Metrics tile can only query up to 30 days of data at a time. If your time range exceeds this limit, the chart may appear empty.

Please go through this documentation for more Information:

Please ensure that your user account has the necessary permissions to view metrics. You may require Reader or higher-level access to see detailed metrics.

Please go through these documentations for more Information:

If none of the above steps work, I would recommend reaching out to Azure Support for assistance. They can help investigate if there's a configuration issue or bug preventing the metric from showing.
