We should be notified when there is a new version of both gateways. In addition, the Enterprise gateway should be updated automatically (admins should be able to turn this on/off).

Thanks for suggesting, this item is on our backlog.

RE: Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

Since our admins don't use Power BI yet, we don't follow it. When breaking changes occur we have to react and it makes us look bad and is causing abrasion. Not cool.

Gateway Error notification is a critical need to any organization. x100000

How was this overlooked?

RE: Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

We had the gateway also fail silently, with no warning. Makes us look like amateurs to our clients.

For those looking for an option today, you can use the service recovery options for the gateway service to send an email on service start failures. Several examples online using PowerShell and VBA. You can also create a simple check service script and run that using the event scheduler.

RE: Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

One of our gateway was silently down for days and we came to know only after user reported that there is a issue in loading the schema with below error message. Also data refresh didnt happen on time. This will be a major issue if not noticed on time. There should be a option to notify server admin when the On premise gateway server is not up and running.

We later restarted the service and it worked fine.

"“Couldn’t load the schema for the database model”
