How to lookup the IP address at logfile

Asked by Francisco Martinez

Hi all,
(related to OpenERP v7)

The OpenERP server log allways shows the client's IP address for each query. How can configure OpenERP to lookup the IP address of the client to show the hostname instead of the IP? There is some parameter for openerp-server.conf to do that?

Thanks in advance.
Fran

There is - as far as I know - no parameter to show this.

And IMHO this is just as well:
- having a dns lookup for each client request would be extremely bad for performance
- when OpenERP is used in an internal network, many workstations will have an dynamic IP address
- when having OpenERP open for requests through the internet (for employees working remotely, or having a customer portal), you normally would put the OpenERP server behind a reverse proxy (for instance nginx). Al the IP addresses you would see, would be those of the reverse proxy...

Kind regards,

Ronald

If you want to log it, i guess you are working in LAN, you can extend login method to catch request and process data, web addon can help you.
