Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

Vote (545)

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

This feature would help us a lot. Taking actions when the service is down instead of when the refresh has failed.

RE: Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

This feature is a critical need for my company as well. We have Azure Enterprise subscription and Analysis Services refresh failed multiple times without any error being reported by the exception handler in PowerShell automation Runbook.
Microsoft Support for the service request also could not provide a solution to get notifications about gateway failure until this feature is added to the Power BI Gateway

RE: Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

we performed monitoring on Services for DataGateway and set it up with delayed start. Still this will be great addition if we get notification.

RE: Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

If this was planned in 2016, why is it not out yet?

RE: Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

This is a critical need. Currently the only way to get a notification is when the gateway fails and we start getting Power BI refresh failures.

Now that we have a cluster, need the notifications on a node basis.

RE: Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

Yes, this is totally necessary. The Nov 2017 release totally broke our gateway and we never had issues in the past. We went this to actually do a good job updating (Im on Windows 2012 R2 server). Pretty standard hardware and software. We should be able to pick a time too, so it doesn't interfere and don't forget a date. The ADF gateway has this feature already for time, but not date.

RE: Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

This is really important given that not updating to the September version of the Gateway meant that our reports stopped refreshing.

RE: Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

I'd like a bit more functionality. I imagine most users will not view the server the gateway is installed on's desktop regularly and so a popup window or any 'alerts' within the gateway window will not be sufficient.

Ideally the gateway should be able to send 'alerts's somehow, or log event log entries that can then be polled by other 'alerts'ing software to generate an email 'alerts' for the server admin team.
