Anne, I use database triggers to capture system events and send me email. I use the Event Attributes, though I've not captured IP address. My 8.1.7 docs say that you should use ora_client_ip_address, though it looks like that Attribute is only available in an After Logon Event, so you'd need to capture it in a PL/SQL packaged variable or a Global Temporary Table for the duration of the session.
You can find info. on the Event Attributes in Chapter 13, "Working with System Events", in "Oracle8i Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals". Hope this helps. Jack C.
