Understanding the Gateway logs

‎10-13-2023 01:56 AM

We try to analyze in detail the meaning of individual logs in power bi (gatewayinfo, gatewayerrors files). We are particularly interested in understanding the ActivityType and EventType attributes. Below are screenshots of existing combinations by log type. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any official documentation that says for example what MGPL or DataMovement.PipeLine.GatewayDataAccess means. Is it possible to get this information somewhere?

 

Thank you in advance

Personal opinion:  You are looking at the wrong logs.  Instead, use QueryStart, QueryExecution and System Counters logs.
