Hi, I'm new to powerBI and would like some help. where I work I have some servers with internal IP and I would like to make a report in BI with the status of the server. whether it is online or not in real time. is there a tool within BI for such a function?
HI @jotafilms,
Did these servers have the same data structure?
If this is a case, I'd like to suggest you deploy a web service on a device that can access external networks and configure a proxy on this server to pull data from these dynamic endpoint servers.
After these, you can use power bi web connector and above web service to get data from dynamic internal servers and design reports. (for web service data source, it not required gateway to handle refresh)

Sure. Set up some web calls to your servers and handle the scenario when they don't respond.
Note that these web servers are probably on-premise, so that means you also need to setup a gateway
Then set up scheduled refresh on the service (or API based refresh requests).
And lastly you need to create a dashboard. Reports will not work because they do not auto-update from web data sources.
