Hello,

I' am faceing a problem when i have publised a new webserver.

I need to recoard the public ip address of ever visit i get from external but i' am getting the internal network ip address of the UTM and not the external public ip of the visiting dervice.

you can try to use the informations from http-header or use the server-protection logfile from UTM.

i activate syslog at UTM and send all logs to splunk(light - free).

No, that's the whole function of a reverse-proxy. As mentioned, you need to look in the server logs for the http x-forwarded-for header to get the real client IP.
