Why are the msg.socketIp outputs from the UI control node and event node all 'undefined'?

You should find them in \_client property, use a debug node set to complete message object to see all properties. There is also a setting in the dashboard sidebar for this also [Getting Started | Node-RED Dashboard 2.0](https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/getting-started#navigation-sidebar) & [Getting Started | Node-RED Dashboard 2.0](https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/getting-started#multi-tenancy).  
Else provide an example flow demonstrating your issue.

In fact \_client does not appear to be there.
