Capturing IP Address & Session in Log File - mikestratton - 10-04-2023

I have created a custom handler that allows me to write logs to a database. Now I need to use that same logger to capture the user's IP address and Session related data in the database, as well. Suggestions, please?

To capture the IP Address:
$request = \Config\Services::request();
$request->getIPAddress(),

I was able to capture session data with: $_SESSION['username'],
$_SESSION['user_id'],

If the user is behind a Proxy Server you will have trouble getting their IP Address.
