ip_address field always None

How do you use Sentry?

Self-hosted/on-premise

Version

23.9.0.dev0

Steps to Reproduce

I have a flask web-app that uses a sentry integration, each time a user is loaded, his information are added to the sentry context using from sentry_sdk import set_user as follows

set_user(
            {
                "id": str(user.id),
                "ip_address": str(request.remote_addr),
                "IP": str(request.remote_addr),
                "email": str(user.email),
            }
        )

I've added a custom field IP and passed exactly the same value as the ip_address, the IP value appeared correctly in sentry but the ip_address did not.

Expected Result

Expected that the IP field has the same value as ip_address

Actual Result

This is what appears in sentry

Hey @ibraheemalayan, thanks for the report. How do you initialize the SDK? There's an option called send_default_pii (see docs) which, if not set, defaults to False and will result in some potentially sensitive data being scrubbed from the event before it leaves the SDK, including user.ip_address. See Scrubbing sensitive data for more info on how to fine tune this.
