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.

Agree that it would be nice to update however it depends how good the auto update experience is, e.g. we dont want the auto update to break during the patching because of various config changes in versions, etc.

this is helpful when the gateway is forgotten on a server somewhere and the IT members didn't check for new releases.

Not having the automatic update on the gateway is a very bad idea. Users relying on the gateway might have their reports not working every time there is an update of Power BI Desktop.

RE: Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway

Is there an option to 'alerts' few users when the gateway is not reachable/error/stopped. We are not having any way to monitor the gateway now. If Power BI can send an 'alerts' to the admins if the gateway is not reachable then that would help. I am seeing this issue a lot for direct connections
