GPU not supported: A100

I am trying to use nsys (ver 2024.1) to profile a server GPU,
but --gpu-metrics-device=help returns:

Some GPUs are not supported:
	NVIDIA A100-SXM4-40GB PCI[0000:41:00.0]

nsys status -e return:

CPU Profiling Environment Check
Root privilege: disabled
Linux Kernel Paranoid Level = 2
Linux Distribution = RHEL
Linux Kernel Version = 4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9.x86_64: OK
Linux perf_event_open syscall available: OK
Sampling trigger event available: OK
Intel(c) Last Branch Record support: Not Available
CPU Profiling Environment (process-tree): OK
CPU Profiling Environment (system-wide): Fail

nvidia-smi returns:
Driver Version: 545.23.08
CUDA version: 12.3
with the GPU visible.

what could be the reason behind this?

p.s.
I wonder if sudo nsys could resolve this.
although I would have to nag my server administrator.
