RUM has been configured without IP and geolocation data - Datadog logger still sends IP address and location data

[TheXRMonk]

Question

These are off in our RUM app settings;

but the Sensitive Data Scanner feature shows that all our logs still contain IP addresses and geolocation data.

This feels like a bug, but I have marked it as a question; Are we doing something wrong? Do we need to configure the logger to not report this data?

Hi @TheXRMonk ,

That doesn't sound right. We don't query IP information to add to logs, it's added after the fact as part of processing (which is why you should be able to turn if off in User Data Collection).

Can you open a support request so we can look more closely at your logs?

Thanks!

Hi @TheXRMonk
The setting for User Data Collection in the screenshot you shared relates to RUM data only.

For logs, we have an Out of the box pipeline that handles logs coming from different sources, and by default it collects Geo-IP information.

You can go to your Logs Pipeline page, and look for the Flutter pipeline. You can then clone it and disable the processors you don't want, such as the geo-ip parser.

Alrighty, this seems to help with the geo-location, however, the IP is still getting logged.
