Client IP not showing in analysis from IIS servers behind ARR with X-FORWARDED-FOR turned on

I have 3 IIS 8.5 web servers setting behind an ARR load balancer, however when analyzing their logs with WebLog Expert 9.0 Enterprise I'm only getting the ARR server in reports even with X-FORWARDED-FOR setup on the IIS servers (as explained here http://www.iis.net/learn/get-started/...). I know this won't impact prior visits/hits but I'm unable to see new visits/hits with the client IP still, as it shows only the ARR server's name.

The problem is that you need to set the field name to X-Forwarded-For, not to OriginalIP, otherwise the program doesn't recognize it as the real IP field.

That seems to have resolved the issue, I was unaware it had to be named that way, however I'm glad that's all it took. Thanks for your help, I greatly appreciate it!
