The issue was with MS power bi metric report. I uninstalled & installed again and it ran fine. Thanks for your reply.

Looks like this is a custom connector. It (.mez or .pqx)  needs to be placed into the Documents\Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors folder of the account that is running the gateway - on each of the gateway cluster members.
