API to fetch data gateway status
I am working on a solution that should monitor the status of the On-Premises Data Gateway, for which I'm using the Power BI REST API (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/gateways/get-gateway).
The problem I am having is, that gatewayStatus returns "Live" even when the data gateway is disabled in the Power Platform Admin Center.
Anyone know what I am missing here, or is this a bug?
This API call has nothing to do with the health of the gateway. You need to create your own telemetry on each of the gateway cluster members.
For example:
The gateway admin page may say "partially online" even when you decided to disable some of the cluster members on purpose. It may also say "online" despite the fact that a cluster member may be misbehaving, leading to random request errors.
