Would you know currently, under, C:\Users\PBIEgwService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\On-premises data gateway\<yyyyymmdd>.<Number>.log  -  how far back can i look at the logs?

Hi Ronnie7,

 

These logs will created when gateway working.
If gateway service has stop running or not setting to refresh data, there are no log files created.(if you haven't turned on options to 'auto clean up no use files', I think log files will stay there)
