## Determining the IP address of a Runner
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/17286) in GitLab 10.6.
It may be useful to know the IP address of a Runner so you can troubleshoot
issues with that Runner. GitLab stores and displays the IP address by viewing
the source of the HTTP requests it makes to GitLab when polling for jobs. The
IP address is always kept up to date so if the Runner IP changes it will be
automatically updated in GitLab.
The IP address for shared Runners and specific Runners can be found in
different places.
### Shared Runners
To view the IP address of a shared Runner you must have admin access to
the GitLab instance. To determine this:
1. Visit **Admin area ➔ Overview ➔ Runners**
1. Look for the Runner in the table and you should see a column for "IP Address"

### Specific Runners
You can find the IP address of a Runner for a specific project by:
1. Visit your project's **Settings ➔ CI/CD**
1. Find the Runner and click on it's ID which links you to the details page
1. On the details page you should see a row for "IP Address"
