how to get login's ip address?

  • Hi folks,

    Can anyone tell me where is the login user's ip address? can that be linked with principal_id in sys.server_principals or any where in trace file?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Start with this article.

    There it discusses logon events, DDL Triggers, and capturing IP address.

    The user's IP address (if they connected over TCP/IP) is associated with the connection - client net address on sys.dm_exec_connections. That DMV links to sys.dm_exec_sessions via the session_id column. The sessions DMV provides login credential information.

  • I have had to update this script. I found a couple of caveats related to the initial request.

    There is a problem in linking the historical pieces of the trace file to the current activity that is present in sys.dm_exec_sessions and sys.dm_exec_connections (the SPID is reused).

    I have blogged about this. It may be worth a read.
