Memory and CPU usage of managed service for apache kafka

Hi,

We are running a GCP Managed Kafka cluster in region europe-west2.

The cluster is active and processing traffic — we can see metrics such as `Bytes_in_count`and `Bytes_out_count` working correctly.

However, CPU and memory utilization metrics such as `managedkafka.googleapis.com/cpu/usage` and `.../memory/usage` are not available in Metrics Explorer.

Only `cpu.limit` and `memory.limit` are exposed.

I can see dashboards with cpu and memory usage at 0:

Is there anything we need to enable to receive those metrics ?
Is this expected or is this a possible issue in metric export ?

Thanks!
