why is my refresh failing

[MrClod]

My reports were working, now scheduled and manual refreshes not working.  Works fine if I refresh on desktop and publish, but not useful to be forced to do this on a daily basis.

The report has not changed.

The error details returned provide nothing but guids.  Anyway to look these up?

@MrClod, what are you data sources?

[MrClod]

I have two data sources.

1. Azure sql store
2. Kusto

@MrClod, are you able to create a new report with same connections and do these connections refresh?

[MrClod]

I just took a copy of my current report and pushed it.  Failed with no error message provided.

Removed my Kusto data sources.  This worked on a manual.  Will setup a scheduled refresh.

But if this is the case, odd that this just now fails when it has been working for months without changes.

[MrClod]

I just refreshed my Kusto creds again and have a success. 

Last time I did this, only worked for a day though.

Okay, after refreshing my credentials to Kusto for a 5th time, I guess they finally stuck.

This should have happend after the first time, so guessing there is a small PowerBI Server bug here.

Hi @MrClod,

Please reconfigure your refresh schedule and check if it works fine.

Not sure how "reconfiguring" refresh schedule will fix this when manual refresh fails as well.

What error are you getting when you look at the refresh history?  The true error is usually displayed there.

[MrClod]

There has never been an error message provided.  This was working about two weeks ago and then just stopped.  No changes made.  Still same data source credentials and they too show valid.

[MrClod]

Is there a refresh timeout?  I know I am well below the data limit, but wondering if there is a time limit I am bumping against.

[MrClod]

Never mind, just check through all the PowerBI Failure emails, and the begin/end time duration varies from a couple of minutes to 50 minutes.

I am facing the same issue since yesterday. Does anyone have a clue?
