Thank you for confirming that DMI is enabled. Can you check the correlation events associated with the transfers? We believe that the IP information would be part of the correlation events.
If you are using a load balancer or proxy in front of the SFTP servers, that could obfuscate the source IP. We would recommend using SSP/SEAS in this case because the source IP is included in events sent to B2Bi and available in the correlation events.
Hi
DMI is enabled but the IP is no available
After opening a PMR, IBM support recommended to raise an new request.
Regards
Manuel.
Thank you for your response. Talking this case over with our development team, there is a way to obtain this information already by using DMI:
Ensure that DMI is enabled, it is turned on by default but you will want to ensure that it is active so that this information is captured
Then go to BP monitor --> Advanced search --> communication sessions
Here you can look up session information by IP or protocol or status
Note that there will be a performance impact to having DMI enabled
Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.
Hi
currently for SFTP, we don't use Secure Proxy.
The connection arrive on a external Perimeter server and the account is declared in Sterling integrator accounts.
The incoming flows for SI arrive from external and internal. So it's difficult to identify the IP source.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. I truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations and ideas.
I need a little more information to understand your idea. Are you currently using Sterling Secure Proxy in your environment? SSP may provide this functionality if all authentication attempts are going though that system where it may be logged.
I'm looking forward to your response. Once I can develop a clear picture of your request, I'll be able to let you know if we can add your idea to our future offering roadmap.
