On-premises data gateway location for PowerBI - azure

How can I check where I have installed On-premises data gateway for one PowerBI report?
I looking for solution to find in which server I have installed gateway used by my report. I need it because it gives me error: DM_GWPipeline_Client_GatewayUnreachable.

Looks like the gateway went offline so the service cannot know more info about the Gateway.
Do you have your Recovery Key? It's the key you have provided on install time. If you do, you can install the gateway on a new machine, when you sign in you will be asked whether you want to create a new gateway or restore an existing one, choose "Restore" and that will migrate the existing gateway to the new machine and move all settings and reports that had been associated to the old gateway.

Usually, the default path is:
C:\Program Files\On-premises data gateway
You can also check in services
Open Services from Windows
Check for service "On-premises data gateway service"
Click on Logon Tab
This will show you the account you used for this service

Confluence Site search with Azure Bot

I am working on a requirement where I have a Bot deployed in Azure and I need to add a feature to perform a search in confluence site based on the word user types. I have written a search request using httpClient in .Net which calls Confluence search API (https://wiki.XXXXX/ctl=siteSearch~(myword)).
I have tested the application in my local and it is working totally fine and I am able to get search results. But I am getting the below exception when deployed to Azure.
The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found
Could you please help me here on why and what might be the issue. Also is there anyway I can add confluence site in Azure portal.
Error message “The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found”, seems to be associated with the Winsock “WSANO_DATA” error code. It means, there is some issue with the DNS record of the server which you are trying to connect.

Connect Kentico through Azure SQL

I've followed this tutorial https://docs.kentico.com/k12sptutorial/mvc-development and successfully run it on localhost, however when I try to publish to Azure app service the connection string doesn't seem to work at all and I've tried all the fixes including changing region of all services to be in one region, whitelist IP addresses.
here is the link of the site:
https://adia.azurewebsites.net
connection string:
Data Source=tcp:adiadb.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=adia;User Id=sqladmin#adiadb;Password=password
Please advice when went wrong. Thanks.
It looks like the DB is not available to other resources within Azure. You’re able to connect with SQL Management Studio, but not the Web application. When you create the database, there is a checkbox to make it available to other resources within Azure. By default this is disabled. I’m not at my computer just now, but I’ll update this when I am with a screenshot of where to check.

How would one login to Azure cloud classic service instance?

I have setup a azure cloud classic. Where I have two instances running one is web role and orleans silos. I want to enable trace and I need a means to login into the box and see the logs. Azure portal is not providing the logs I needed. I am following the following link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-services/cloud-services-role-enable-remote-desktop but, in the first step, is to click on the cloud service and click configure but I do not see configure option anywhere. I see only 'Pin, swap and delete'. But I did see an option when click on the cloud class, called configuration. In that configuration, there is nothing for remote desk top.
I do have an option for remote desk top, but when I click that I get an message "This deployment is using RemoteAccess and/or RemoteForwarder modules. We recommend using the RDP extension instead. You can enable this mode by removing the modules from your .csdef and .cscfg and then saving your RDP configuration here."
so my basic question, how what is proper way to remote to that box provided I am getting above mentioned message?
According to your description, you are using Azure new portal to configure Remote Desktop. For a simple way, you could log into Azure classic portal to leverage Remote Desktop Extension approach for you to enable Remote Desktop even after your application is deployed.
Note: For more details, you could follow the section about configuring Remote Desktop from the Azure classic portal in this doc.

You could follow this tutorial about configuring Remote Desktop in the service definition file.

Error creating Windows Azure BizTalk Service instance

After yesterday's announcement of BizTalk Service GA on Windows Azure, I'm trying to create a new Development instance so I can start migrating my on premises BizTalk projects to there.
After I fill the wizard and start waiting for the instance creation, I get the following error:
Could not connect to the Tracking Database. Confirm that the SQL Database details are correct and that Windows Azure Services is enabled on the SQL Database. (RDFE - Operation ID = fcc014e60cea345c9e03dcd2dca787d3 )
What is happening?
Make sure DB allows Azure services to access it
Possibly the internal DNS problems are affecting it.
The Register Microsoft pulls its crowd-control tech from out of the shadows
a variety of Microsoft services including Windows Azure and Xbox became unavailable due to an as-yet-unspecified problem with Microsoft's global DNS configuration
or
Xbox One site BELLY-UP in GLOBAL Microsoft cloud catastrophe
Initial reports seem to indicate the problem stems from an internal DNS issue, as both the page and various Azure services are throwing DNS errors. Azure may be working, but reaching it is difficult.

Azure Remote Desktop Traceability in a Cloud Service

If you follow Microsoft's instructions here to enable RDP on instances in a Cloud Service, they tell you to create a user and set a password for remote desktop purposes.
As this can quickly become a "shared account", I am wondering how one goes about linking this to a person. The Azure Operation logs do not seem to keep track of who RDP'ed or not, and the Windows Security Event Log obviously has no idea what user was connecting other than the user you created. This make traceability difficult.
While I understand RDP should only be enabled for troubleshooting purposes, I am hoping I missed something simple that would allow Azure Cloud Service users to enable RDP without losing all traceability on who is accessing what instance.
Short Version: How do I know who connected over RDP using the shared RDP Account? Azure logs, infrastructure logs maybe?
Thanks
There have been a few changes since the link you mentioned is published:
You can now enable/disable remote desktop through the portal. You don't have to do it at the time of publishing your cloud service. Using this, you can provision remote desktop connections for individual users in your team instead of relying on one shared RDP connection. To do so, click on CONFIGURE tab for your cloud service and then click on Remote icon and follow the instructions.
The thing you do on portal with remote desktop can also be done programmatically using Service Management API. With the latest Service Management API release, RDP functionality is basically an extension which you can enable/disable on the fly. I wrote a blog post not too long ago describing this functionality: http://gauravmantri.com/2013/05/06/windows-azure-cloud-services-extensions-and-service-management-api-fun-with-remote-desktop/
I haven't actually looked at security event logs so I can't say for sure that it would log this activity but I'm assuming it would.
