Funnelback failing to detect users location

Funnelback collection is failing to return Geolocation data within the Data-model when performing searches. This information to be used as a condition within curator.

Would this indicate an issue with funnelback’s setup on a server level or is there some configuration setting that must be turned on to enable this functionality to populate?

location: {
areaCode: 0,
city: null,
countryCode: null,
countryName: null,
dmaCode: 0,
latitude: 0,
longitude: 0,
metroCode: 0,
postalCode: null,
region: null
},

Hi Vincent,

What’s your IP is as detected by Funnelback?

To see what it is look at the data model and check question.environmentVariables.REMOTE_ADDR or onone of the input parameter maps question.inputParameterMap.REMOTE_ADDR / question.rawInputParameters.REMOTE_ADDR / question.additionalParameters.REMOTE_ADDR

If your IP is an internal IP, or one that’s unknown then your location map will be empty.

cheers,
Peter

IP is: 127.0.0.1:8080

This occurs while tethered to my phone outside of the squiz network. Would this indicate that there is an issue with funnelback failing to detect IP address?

Do you have something sitting in front of Funnelback (eg. nginx or open resty)? If so you’ll need to make sure that’s configured to pass through your IP address in the X_Forwarded_For header.
