Hi,  
I had installed the Agent, kibana, elasticsearch versioned 8.2.1.

Observed that the client ip is not getting captured properly as it is visible as :1.

any suggestions?

Please provide more info.  
Are you referring to Elastic Agent, or Elastic APM Agent?  
Please share a sample document or screenshot showing which field got the wrong value

The `client.ip` refers to the source of the request. `::1` indicates that the request traced by this transaction was made from the localhost, wasn't that the case? If not, please provide the following info:

- What type of transaction is this? Is it a `request` type, or other?
- What is the underlying technology used to serve the corresponding request? Is it an HTTP request? If so, what is the technology that handles the request - is it Servlet, Spring MVC, something else? Choose the most relevant one from our [supported technologies page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/supported-technologies-details.html)
- Is there some local rerouting at the host where your application is deployed?
- Check in your logs to see if there's anything interesting logged by the agent
