How can we determine traffic coming in from a specific geolocation and how it can be blocked

This article covers how customer can determine traffic coming in from a specific geo location and how it can be blocked

(1) How would a customer determine traffic coming in from a specific geo location
Customers can use the Reporting features available in TIBCO Cloud API Management platform:
- Enriched Call Log Export aka ECLE (https://docs.mashery.com/analyze/GUID-509A6CBB-F61D-41DA-9A1E-1063C496FF48.html)
- Enriched Call Log Streaming aka ECLS (https://docs.mashery.com/analyze/GUID-A085F6A2-AE7A-4D8F-9CA7-63D0DEBE2512.html)
- Access Logs generated locally in Local Edition
The reporting provides details of each call where the originating IP address is listed in src_ip field. This data in conjunction with external websites that provide Geo details of the IP address blocks can be used to determine traffic coming in from a specific Geo location.
In Mashery Dashboard reporting, Geo Maps are also available under - packages -> <specific package> -> developer activity - <specific developer> section.

(2) How would a customer block traffic coming from a specific geo Location?
TIIBCO Cloud API Management platform provided several connectors that can be used for this purpose at the endpoint level. Configurations can be done through UI or through Mashery APIs.
- IP whitelisting connector (http://docs.mashery.com/connectorsguide/GUID-1BEA3681-0C40-4398-8FED-1CB4F4A52942.html)
- IP Blocking connector (http://docs.mashery.com/connectorsguide/GUID-3290F176-44C5-4D95-9DA1-4141B85B7FB7.html)
