Data source error, without actual error message
I get this error:
I am the gateway administrator myself... How can I troubleshoot this?
The error makes no sense, I see nothing wrong in the gateway!!!
All the details:
How can I troubleshoot this? Is there any log anywhere with more details?
Hi Anonymous - To collect logs
Go to Settings > Admin Portal > Audit logs.
Review logs for gateway errors or access-related issues.and gateway logs you can collecct below path:
C:\Users\<GatewayServiceAccount>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\On-premises data gateway\Gateway*.log
could you provide additional details about the data source type (e.g., SQL Server, Excel, etc.) and whether the issue occurs with other data sources

Hi Anonymous
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Forum community.
The response provided by rajendraongole1 was indeed correct. Here are troubleshoot steps which could rectify your issue:
- Please ensure the gateway is operational and accessible. Restart the Windows service for the gateway to update its status.
- Please ensure that your firewall is not blocking the necessary ports for the gateway. You can run a network ports test to verify connectivity. Additionally, check if any proxy settings might be causing issues
Additionally, could you please provide more details about the issue? This will assist in identifying and resolving the error more effectively.
