Log external ip

If you only see internal IP's in the account history, you need to configure Zimbra to log the IP from the X-Forwarded-For header. https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/LogFiles#LoggingtheOriginatingIP

zmlocalconfig zimbra_http_originating_ip_header
zimbra_http_originating_ip_header = X-Forwarded-For

zmprov mcf +zimbraMailTrustedIP 127.0.0.1
zmprov mcf +zimbraMailTrustedIP 
zmprov mcf +zimbraMailTrustedIP 

Configuring preferences

Support a semi-colon separated list of log files, only the audit.og log4j format is supported.

nano /opt/zimbra/lib/ext/accountHistory/config.properties
audit_logs=/opt/zimbra/log/audit.log;/opt/zimbra/log/sync.log

You can also have the extension read gzipped files (after log rotation), for now, it only reads yesterdays gz log.

nano /opt/zimbra/lib/ext/accountHistory/config.properties
audit_logs=/opt/zimbra/log/audit.log;/opt/zimbra/log/audit.log.yyyy-MM-dd.gz

• Is it still "beta"? 

  By: Yannis on on 10/3/23 for version 0.1.5

  Can the "beta" in the title be deleted? Is there still a reason? I haven't seen any issues and I'm trying to get another admin to install it on their own server and it says it's "beta"... :)
  Thanks!

• It worked!

  How Long After Zimlet Is Installed Shows Previous Records?

   

  • It will show whatever it can find in your logs. So it should work directly after being installed.

  - ZC version 8.7.7
  Install step (as root):
  - wget --no-cache https://github.com/Zimbra-Community/account-history/raw/master/account-history-installer.sh -O /tmp/account-history-installer.sh
  - chmod +rx /tmp/account-history-installer.sh

  Note: a warning when installing
  "java.io.FileNotFoundException: /tmp/accountHistory.fhoFQQuT/upgrade/config.properties (No such file or directory)"

   

  • That error is not a problem, please re-try with the latest version.
