If you’re the admin for a large Power BI/Fabric tenant you’ll know how important it is to monitor your on-premises data gateways: if they aren’t working then no-one will be able to refresh any semantic models or dataflows connected to on-prem sources. A while ago Rui Romano published a gateway monitoring solution that proved to be very popular, but recently my colleague at Microsoft Edgar Cotte built a new open-source solution that builds on Rui’s work and which is even more powerful, using Fabric Real-Time Intelligence to let you analyse gateway log information in real time.
You can read his announcement on LinkedIn here and download the solution from https://aka.ms/FabricGatewayMonitoring.
This is an amazing piece of work that is already being used by several very large customers. Check it out!
“using Fabric Real-Time Intelligence to let you analyse gateway log information in real time”
You mean the gateway logs that are committed to disk only once a day?
I may be wrong, but I believe that while a new log file is created every day, data is committed to the log file all the time.
That’s not our experience. We experience severe delays in the log files, making them unusable for actual real time analytics.
This works in Fabric only, I believe?
You need Fabric enabled, yes
Quick question, Single tenant or Corss tenant solution?
Am I understanding this correctly, that you’d have to install and automate runs for the Powershell scripts on each gateway server a given tenant was using?
Hi Chris, how is this different from the Capacity Metrics app?
This gets data from the gateway logs, the capacity metrics app shows data for CU usage
Do you still need an ADLS Gen 2 account to achieve this solution?
