Adobe Target Geo location issues

Avatar

Level 2

Hello,

Wondering if there is a known issue with the out of the box 'Geo' location audience parameter within Adobe Target? Specifically, for the country of Colombia. 

I've created a number of audiences based on this metric and they all work with the exception of Colombia. Any suggestions or alternatives here?

@muerben  Audience parameter based upon "Geolocation" should work without issues. Could you generate mboxTrace and check for the IP details.

Thanks @Gaurav_Singh, could you elaborate on how to find the IP address/region by doing the mboxTrace? I've tried a few times and I'm not able to see this info. 

I did try the method listed below though and confirmed that my locations are not coming in as desired.

Colombia is situated at a latitude of 4.5709° N and a longitude of 74.2973° W. We can also try this to check if it's working properly or not. Both latitude and longitude values can be tweeked to get the right value.

Hi @ben_mrm, Create a profile script by adding below code snippet and test it by adding mboxTrace parameter on your browser.

IP Address: The IP Address associated with the profiles can be retrieved.

 

Script Name: ipAddress

 

user.header(‘x-cluster-client-ip’);

@Gaurav_Singh  I've been able to do this mboxTrace and analyzed my response tokens as well and the captured location appears to be incorrect, specifically for Colombia. My VPN provider assures me the servers are correct so this leads me down the Adobe path. Any further troubleshooting that could be done on the Adobe side here?
