Cant access droplet graphs

Posted on September 4, 2025

{“id”: “Forbidden”, “message”: “You are not authorized to perform this operation” }

I am getting this error when viewing the graphs. My account just got recently unlocked and I want to check the graphs to see if there was any spike in anything before it got locked. I am afraid that the droplet got hacked into and was used for something malicious and thats why it got flagged.

Hey!

I think that error pops up when your account doesn’t have access to the monitoring data just yet. Since your account was only recently unlocked, it can take a little time before graphs and metrics show up again.

In the meantime, you can still log in to the Droplet and check system logs, processes, or network usage yourself. If the graphs don’t come back after a bit, I’d reach out to the DigitalOcean support and they’ll make sure monitoring is fully restored.
