Identify primary/secondary in on-premises data gateway cluster

[gaupop13]

Hi - I have a data gateway cluster which was previously setup by someone else.

There are 2 data gateways installed on two servers in that cluster.

How do I identify which gateway is primary and which one is secondary? 

I can login to both servers/gateways but it won't let me know which was configured as primary.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, @gaupop13 

When you create a new gateway and add it to an existing gateway cluster, that one is the main gateway by default.

The gateway cloud service always uses the primary gateway in a cluster unless that gateway isn't available. In that case, the service switches to the next available gateway in the cluster.

Generally speaking, if there are multiple gateways in a cluster, you can also see related information in the gateway settings of the pbi service. For example, you will be reminded to update the gateway version to make it consistent.

Like this:

If you are really not sure, you can go to the administrator for help, log in to the power platform admin center, and then check the information and status of your gateway.

Thank you @v-janeyg-msft . I was not aware of the power platform admin center option which clearly displays what is primary. Thanks a bunch!
