I understand that this may be a stale old question and that it may not be possible for various reasons.
However, I have noticed so many 404 statuses in the request logs that it would be useful to see where they come from. It’s obvious that they are attempts to force a way in to the host server.
The referrer field isn’t really helpful, I mostly see " There were no detected referrers to this URL.".
I suppose my question is, can I extend the Request Log to include the request IP address?
Thanks All.
Hey @Call2call
The feature is aimed to see if you have broken links in your website.
The records show a cumulative version of the event, so it increases a counter and tracks the referrers as an array. So there isn’t 1 record per 404 to associate the IP address to.
If you extended it, it would have to store an array with the IP addresses too. However , this array would get quite large over time.
I’m open to ideas on this. There are some security tools from this author: Wobqqq - October CMS
I wonder if they might have some features that tackle this, or if they are open to hearing about it
