Logging IP or hostname of request origination

Priya over 7 years ago

Hi, we have a requirement to log the request origination Hostname or IP address. If we add these values in the org.apache.log4j.MDC we will be able to log it. Does appian has any values added to MDC that we will be able to use in log4j properties.

I would ask what the objective is here. What is the goal of this requirement?

In terms of an "origin" for requests to the engines, they all originate from the same place: the application server. Clients cannot talk directly to the engines.

To put it another way: if there were IP addresses in the engine logs, what would you do with this information? What is the use case that this would help you achieve?
