Remote IP Address

[maxime-carbonneau]

Hello,

I cannot find the client ip address.
I was expecting opentelemetry-instrumentation-action_pack to place the info into the current_span.
Am I missing something?

Thanks
Maxime

Hi @maxime-carbonneau, thanks for reaching out!

We aim to have our instrumentation's attributes reflect the OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions. We're in the process of migrating to stable semantic conventions for our HTTP server instrumentation, which opentelemetry-instrumentation-action_pack falls under.

We're missing some of the recommended attributes for HTTP Server Spans, including the client.address attribute, which is likely where the Client's IP address would be saved.

This is a new feature, that we'd welcome help implementing. If you'd like to see it added you can open an issue or a PR on our opentelemetry-ruby-contrib repository, where the code for all our instrumentation lives.

Let me know if you have any further questions!
