I can provide the patch and the configuration line in the template for
ECFV later this day.
ok. This is ot so much later
The patch can be found at
http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/pape/rt3/patches/rt/web_xremoteip.patch. It
ist for RT 3.6 und must probably be adapted for 3.8
It uses $Message->head->replace(‘X-REMOTE-IP’,$ENV{‘REMOTE_ADDR’});
to add the REMOTE_ADDR from the environment to a header X-REMOTE-IP. This
is - in our local case - the same header the SMTP-Server writes into each
email message it receives.
You can change X-REMOTE-IP to your own X-Header.
If you look at my latest ECFV at
http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/pape/rt3/ExtractCustomFieldValues.tgz (there
is also a cpan version done by Kevin Falcone or Alex Vandiver
http://search.cpan.org/~alexmv/RT-Extension-ExtractCustomFieldValues-1.8/)
you find a line in the shipped template reading
scan the Header X-REMOTE-IP for an IP-Address and get the hostname out of
it
host|X-REMOTE-IP|\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+|use Socket; ($) =
gethostbyaddr(inet_aton($),AF_INET); $_ = “$_ (remote-ip)”;
this resolves the hostname from the IP in the header into a (global) ticket
custom field “host”. You may just adopt it to use your own X-Header.
You can also read the IP into another customfield by adding to the template:
hostip|X-REMOTE-IP|\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+|
you may add |q to the end of each line, if you don’t like the transaction
to be logged in RT (I recommend this).
So you have the two lines
host|X-REMOTE-IP|\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+|use Socket; ($) =
gethostbyaddr(inet_aton($),AF_INET); $_ = “$_ (remote-ip)”;|q
hostip|X-REMOTE-IP|\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+||q
If you don’t have ECFV already installed there is a README and some hints
in the wiki.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Dirk.
