B4J Question [Server] [solved] How to change the IP address in b4j-2017_MM_dd.request.log

[billzhan]

Hi,

If the server is running behind a reverse proxy(e.g., Nginx), the ip address in the b4j-xx.log will be the IP for the proxy.

The real ip can be got in the handler by

realIP =  Request.GetHeader("X-Real-IP")

Is it possible to override the one in b4j-xx.log with the real one or add the real IP to the log?

Thanks

You can use this code to log the ip address based on the X-Forwarded-For header:

srvr.Start
   
   For Each h As JavaObject In GetHandlers
     If GetType(h) = "org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.RequestLogHandler" Then
       Dim requestLog As JavaObject = h.RunMethod("getRequestLog", Null)
       requestLog.RunMethod("setPreferProxiedForAddress", Array(True))
     End If
   Next
End Sub

Sub GetHandlers As Object()
   Dim josrvr As JavaObject = srvr
   josrvr = josrvr.GetField("server")
   Dim jo As JavaObject = josrvr
   Do While GetType(jo) <> "org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerCollection"
     jo = jo.RunMethodJO("getHandler", Null)
   Loop
   Return jo.RunMethod("getHandlers", Null)
End Sub

Tested with Ubuntu 14.04.5 with Nginx , it works great !
