Get client ip adress in confluence

Raphael dos Santos October 1, 2023

Hey guys, how are you?

Is there any way to get the IP of the user accessing the confluence datacenter? The version I have, by default, already captures, but it is the balancer's IP, and I need to collect the origin IP of whoever is accessing a page within confluence. Would a solution via configuration in tomcat be possible?


Thank you very much

I had a similar issue and ended up checking the reverse proxy logs instead, since Confluence itself doesn't show the user's real IP without extra setup. That’s also how I figured out someone was using an IP Stresser on our server—only showed up in the proxy logs because the actual IPs were lost behind our load balancer setup.
