How to Obtain Information about Incoming HTTP Requests such as Source IP or Hostname?

Hello Exports, is there a way to get more information about incoming http requests, like source IP or hostname or so? I cannot find this in the event history. Thanks, Johannes

other than in the http module itself, I would usually log the request in the following step, which is usually node for me.

Hi Mitch, hmmm. I thought the trigger event itself (http trigger) should have some information about where the request is coming from. I can only log what I see in the request context and here is this:

is the client IP the sender’s IP (or some proxy of course…) Do you know what the x-datadog-trace-id is?

hmm I don’t know what that represents. It seems unlikely you would be able to get much information other than what was already sent in the initial request unless you ran some additional query steps.
