Anybody is using Azure KeyVault connector?
Hi Guys,
I am using key azure connector and noticed after implementing it that the time for uploading small report increased significally.
Connector is here:

When using Azure Key Vault, configuring the gateway correctly is essential, even if you are directly connecting to your Azure Key Vault. Here are some reasons why configuring the gateway is important:
- The gateway ensures that your on-premises data sources can securely connect to Azure services. This is crucial for maintaining a secure and reliable connection to Azure Key Vault.
- Proper gateway configuration can help optimize the performance of your data refresh and publishing processes. It ensures that the data transfer between your on-premises environment and Azure services is efficient.
- The gateway provides an additional layer of security by managing the credentials and ensuring that the data transfer is secure.
- If you encounter issues with the Azure Key Vault connector, having the gateway configured correctly can help in troubleshooting and identifying the root cause of the problem.

That custom connector seems to fetch all your secrets from the vault. Depending on how many you have stored there this could take a considerable amount of time. Maybe ask the connector developer for an option to specify individual items to retrieve.
I have only one 🙂
But when I am putting this connector in the query like:The publishing time istaking 2 h instead of few seconds like usual.
What can be the cause?

Problem is not solved. Connector is very slow still.
