Do I have access to the IP addresses of any client that is currently running on the network somewhere, i.e. the clients that show up on the gateway status page? I am creating a network status screen for my other devices, and thought I’d include the clients too. I know I could have each client set a value in the database when it’s launched, but if the information is already there somewhere, I’d use that instead. ---

You can use `system.util.getSessionInfo` Check out the [user manual](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/index.html?system_util_getsessioninfo.htm). The sample code there works great to display all users and IP address, projects running ect. ---

Outstanding! I knew it had to be there somewhere. Thanks for the tip. ---

Ok, I’m seeing something odd. I have four different client apps running from the gateway (three are on the gateway PC, and I have another client app running on three other client PCs). Let’s say Projects A, B and C are running on the gateway PC, and Project D is running on the client PCs, for a total of six client apps. The getSessionInfo code is being called from Project A, and the results are stored in a table. But when I call getSessionInfo, it returns a list of all of the individual clients as it should, they each have a unique ClientID, and the IP addresses are correct, but the project name is the same for all of them (Project A). I could swear that it returned the actual project names when I tested this the other day, but all I’m seeing now is Project A for everything. I tried stripping out the code that stores it in a table in the database and instead pass the results directly to a table on the screen, but I get the same results. Shouldn’t I get the actual project names in this result set? ---

You’re right, this was a bug in getSessionInfo. It has been fixed for 7.1.4. ---

As long as you are making a change anyway, would it be a big deal to include the running time of the session as well? It is dislayed on the gateway status screen, so I assumed it was available. ---

How would you want this returned, a Date representing the creation time of the session (e.g. 2010-07-03 08:23:44), or a String representing the running time (e.g. “5 hours, 3 minutes”) ? ---

I think the creation time would be the best. I can key off that to display other values. ---

Has the IP address been removed from system.util.getSessionInfo()? In 7.9 I am seeing a host name but not an IP address in the address column. Is there another function to return IP addresses for all connected clients? ---

The IP address is still listed in the documentation, and I don’t think Inductive usually removes functionality, so I would guess the info is still there. You could try using system.net.getIpAddress See the Scripting Function list in the Docs: [docs.inductiveautomation.com/di … +Functions](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Scripting+Functions) ---

Where you you see this? > [@](#): > > The IP address is still listed in the documentation All I see in the [documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/system.util.getSessionInfo) is the "address" which is usually the hostname. Nothing has changed with regards to this method. ---

hm. That is what it says. “Address” not “IP Address.” However the documentation doesn’t clarify that “Address” is usually a hostname. That seems a little confusing, especially when earlier in this thread Step7 was saying that he got IPs from the function. Thanks for teaching me something.
