🟦 How I Connected My Local OnPrem SQL to Copilot Studio!
I watched a hands‑on demo showing how to query and update a local SQL Server from Copilot Studio using the Power Platform Data Gateway. The session walks through gateway setup, adding SQL tables as knowledge sources, and enabling SQL actions so agents can read and write in real time.

💡 Real‑time, permission‑aware queries 🚀
🔍 Metadata indexed; data stays on‑prem
⚖️ Enterprise governance via Power Platform connectors

Sure, you could build custom dashboards and metric alerts with Azure Application Insights. But we shouldn't have to, now that this GA feature of Power Platform Monitor offers "Effortless Visibility and Operational Insights for All".😏

Is it "fine" if the Power Platform Monitor A) delivers data with 54h delay and B) 30% of the Alerts come through?

How about: no? That's what I thought, too. So I wrote a fairly long newsletter issue about this. Check out my Perspectives on #PowerPlatform:

Who monitors the Power Platform Monitor?

Making sure your apps and flows are running isn't that easy. Monitor promises effortless visibility, but how well does it deliver that today?

Perspectives on Power Platform

Why on earth do people find Power Platform licensing complex? Microsoft presents everything so clearly in their product UI.

Sure, they use names that don't match the products bought by customers, but besides that...😜

Has Microsoft forgotten about Power Automate? Is there space left for the cloud flows in particular to exist in an era where MS talks primarily about agents?
