Hi dge7009,
Currently, I haven't found a valid solution that allows us to know the actual data sources behind data sets.
By the way, whay did you mean 'go with two gateways one for DEV data sources and one for PROD data sources'? Did you mean configure more than one on-premise data gateway on the same Windows server? If so, it is impossible as the on-premise gateway runs as a windows service called "PBIEgwService" on the server where it is installed.

Hey Yuliana. I hope all is well. Thanks for the follow up response and confirming my assumption that this isn't currently possible to see the data sources behind a data set from the service. As for the multiple gateways they are installed on separate boxes. One on our Dev box with all our Dev data sources and one on our production box with all our production data sources. It seems to be working well and we can at least verify we are using dev or production resources by seeing what gateway is being used.
Perhaps I will suggest this as an idea for product enhancement via the forum.
Thanks again!
