Keep record of proxy.client.ip / client.ip for a Apigee X proxy without Splunk

[rohitshete]

Hi All,

I am trying to keep record of all client.ips for a specific apigee x proxy. I don't wont to use Splunk to keep this record. I have tried using debug trace but there we just get live transactions and we need to reinitiate trace after every 15 events. Is there any why like building custom report or anything else by which i can pull client.ips for a specific apigee x proxy for last 24 hours or more time.

Hi,

I do not believe there is a way to look back in time without prior setup of logging for the IPs.

To configure logging of the IPs, there are two approaches that can be used:

1) Log to Cloud Logging via the MessageLogging Policy. See: https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/reference/policies/message-logging-policy#cloudlog...

2) Add the IP information to Apigee's Analytics and use Custom Reports to create an IP report. This approach uses:

• A Data Collector: https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/system-administration/data-collectors
• The Data Capture policy: https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/reference/policies/data-capture-policy
• And a Custom Report: https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/analytics/create-custom-reports

This guide covers the overall process: https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/analytics/using-data-capture
