New Features
Admin consent for gateway diagnostics and enhanced Dataflow Gen2 diagnostics (Preview)
We’ve introduced Admin consent for gateway diagnostics, a feature that gives organizations explicit control over whether diagnostic data from on-premises data gateways is collected and sent to the cloud.
This capability follows a consent-driven model to ensure that potentially sensitive data, such as Mashup logs, is only transmitted after administrative approval. Gateway administrators can enable diagnostics at the gateway level, while tenant administrators retain organization-wide control and can revoke consent at any time. If consent is revoked, all gateways immediately stop sending diagnostic data and any ongoing transfers are terminated.
In addition, gateway diagnostics are now integrated directly into the Dataflow Gen2 run experience, addressing a common challenge where troubleshooting required switching across multiple tools and log sources. With this update, relevant gateway logs are surfaced alongside dataflow execution details, providing a unified, end-to-end view of execution. This enables faster root-cause analysis and helps users quickly determine whether issues originate from dataflow logic, gateway connectivity, authentication, or downstream systems.
Power BI Desktop compatibility
This update brings the on-premises data gateway up to date with the May 2026 release of Power BI Desktop.

This version of the gateway will ensure that the reports that you publish to the Power BI Service and refresh via the gateway will go through the same query execution logic/run-time as in May’s version of Power BI Desktop.
