Finding IP address of sessions
I want to find out the IP address of the sessions. Basically I have to find out from my audit tables which are the login failure and its IP address. My report should be as follows: os_username, oracleusername, ip_addr, date of login, date of logoff.

The SYS_CONTEXT function can be used to determine the IP address of the machine that connected to the Oracle database. For example:
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','IP_ADDRESS') FROM dual;
Keep in mind that the IP address returned is from the machine that connected to the database. If you are using a middle tier (for example, a Web server) the IP address returned will be the one of that middle tier and not of the end user. More information on SYS_CONTEXT can be found here.
