Hi @Anthoniraj_Amalanath

As mentioned in one of the reply (Log connected IPs and client information to console and/or file · Issue #602 · streamlit/streamlit · GitHub) in the provided link to the GitHub issue, logging IP has privacy implications.

Instead, perhaps this article on user analytics of Streamlit apps might be of interest:

@dataprofessor
There is no privacy implications accessing ip address of the client. Every web applications provide this feature. Assume that the dashboard is hosted in onpremise server and need to store all client access logs for security purposes in streamlit dashboard. We need this feature in streamlit. It is upto developer to use or not.
