Hello,

i describe you the scenario.

The system involved are:

- reverse proxy;
- elastic;
- kibana
- suricata
- logstash

Actually i only see, on the kibana dashboard monitoring, traffic incoming with the reverse proxy ip to the servers. So i flagged a field on the reverse proxy to see, in a custom header named “client\_ip”, the original source IP.

I need to take this field and print it on the kibana dashboard.

Yesterday i modified che suricata.yaml configuration file, adding the string “custom : [client\_ip] in the http section, but this morning i didn’t find anything about it.

Can u help me? I don’t know the exact steps to take to do this…

Thank u very much.
