How do I find the visitor IP Addresses?

Matomo by default tracks the anonymized IP address, but you can also configure Matomo to track the full IP address if you wish.

To view your visitor IP addresses:

  • In the User Interface, click Visitors > Visits Log. The Visits Log will display a list of all the visits during the selected calendar period, and for each visitor will display the IP address in the left.
  • you can also fetch the visit IP addresses of a given visitor, or all visitors in a selected date range, using the Matomo Analytics (formerly Piwik Analytics) Live! API.
  • you may also see the Visitor IP on the Visitor Profile report.
  • the raw data is also available in the database, in tables matomo_log_* See this FAQ.
  • you can add the Visitor IP address to Custom Reports and get for example, the list of pages by IP addresses, or any other breakdown report by Visitor IP.

Note: in all cases, the IP address will only be displayed if you are logged in Matomo: for privacy reasons, IP addresses are never displayed to the anonymous user.
