Power BI Gateway Monitoring
Hi , BindiyaThota
Firstly, regarding your question about whether pointing the PBIT to the '\Documents\AllGateways' location will consider all gateways, I believe it is theoretically feasible. If you set the 'DataLocation' parameter to '\Documents\AllGateways', it should include all subfolders within that directory. This means that as long as the log files are organised in their respective folders, it will encompass logs from all gateways.
However, in my tests, my default input location was:
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\PBIEgwService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\On-premises data gatewaySecondly, regarding your second question: if you want to analyse historical data, ideally, a hierarchical folder structure should include all monthly exports for each gateway. This way, you can track performance and issues over time.
Thirdly, exporting logs monthly is a good method for regular monitoring. However, if you encounter frequent issues or need more granular data, consider exporting logs more frequently, such as weekly. The date range should cover the entire period you want to analyse, so monthly exports with the first and last day of each month as the range are suitable for monthly monitoring.
Finally, if parameter input fails, you can refer to the following content:
The above are my personal opinions. If you have further questions, I recommend contacting the author directly, as they can provide more professional assistance.
