    Umbraco backoffice IP logging

    Hi I would like to log server side what IPs are visiting our backoffice URL(s).

    What files do I need to edit and insert my own logic? Umbraco/Views/Default.chtml looks like it might be the backoffice "master layout" ?

    Thanks, Sean

    Hi, Maybe you must add some backend code like this.

    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Web;
using Umbraco.Core.Models.Membership;

internal static class AuditHelper

{
internal static string RemoteHostName
{
    get
    {
        string hostName = String.Empty;

        try
        {
            hostName = Dns.GetHostEntry(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]).HostName;
        }
        catch(Exception)
        {
            hostName = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
        }

        return hostName;
    }
}

    Awesome, thanks Martin!

    Would you call this method from the Default view or would you attach it the backed to an event? I don't like editing files that will possibly get overwritten by an update, but I don't know how I can extend this view. Only every time a request is sent to the back office.

    Put a class in the App code folder.

    i.e.: ApplicationEvents.cs

    In these class manage funtions or methods to catch 

    using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Http;
using Umbraco.Core;
using Umbraco.Core.Events;
using Umbraco.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Core.Services;
using Umbraco.Web;
using Umbraco.Web.Trees;

namespace YourNamespace.App_Code
{
    public class ApplicationEvents : ApplicationEventHandler

    { 

    }


     protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
        {

           base.ApplicationStarted(umbracoApplication, applicationContext);

            ContentService.Saving += ContentService_Saving;
            ContentService.Trashing += ContentService_Trashing;
            ContentService.Publishing += ContentService_Publishing;
            ContentService.Saved += ContentService_Saved;
            ContentService.Published += ContentService_Published;
            ContentService.Moving += ContentService_Moving;


        }





     private void ContentService_Moving(IContentService sender, MoveEventArgs<IContent> e)
        {

        // manage event
        }


    private void ContentService_Published(Umbraco.Core.Publishing.IPublishingStrategy sender, PublishEventArgs<IContent> e)
        {
        // manage event
        }

      private void ContentService_Saved(IContentService sender, SaveEventArgs<IContent> e)
        {

        // manage event     
        }

    You could probably implement Application_BeginRequest in a class that inherits from UmbracoApplication and that is referenced in your Global.asax. You'd then simply have to look at the beginning of the path to ensure it starts with umbraco.

    Thanks, I think this is the best option. As long as I don't do the lookup before checking the URL path, performance should be negligible right?

    For the frontend of the site, performance should be negligible. I doubt the backend will slow that much (depends on how you do the logging), but if you really want to ensure optimal performance you could do the logging on a background thread.
