Proxy all data requests to a certain domain through a gateway?

[arichards]

In my organization, we have a bunch of internal/on-premise web apis to hit to use with PowerBI. Engineers are easily able to stand up new ones based (and I expect teams to stand up their own endpoints based on projects they're working on) and I'd like them to be able to easily use those in refreshable reports.

After a quick walk through with our PowerBI administrator, it seems like we need to configure each individual site to be set up with a gateway in order to hit it? Is there any way to force all traffic to *.my-company.com/* to just go through a tunnel/gateway (or if that's not possible, all traffic?), rather than needing to set this up for each data source?

Thanks.

For what it's worth, PowerBI Service seems to think the endpoint is a cloud-accessible data source, but it's not.

HI @arichards,

The proxy feature seems not suitable for your requirement, it works to mapping connection to datasource which deploys in internal/private network that connects to 'public' network based on a proxy, it not suitable to redirect requests. (notice: gateway data sources require mapping to static sources)

Configure proxy settings for the on-premises data gateway 

I'd like to suggest you create an interface or web service to handle redirection of requests, then you can use power bi to get data from this and create reports.

Hi there

Currently you have to set them up as individual data sources, this is because it has to know what the actual URL is that it needs to connect to.
