Geolocated ASN with MaxMind GeoIP2 (mm2asn)
Description
This operation uses MaxMind GeoIP2 services to return the autonomous system number (ASN) associated with an IPv4 or IPv6 address. An ASN is a unique number assigned to an AS (autonomous system).
This operation returns data for public IP addresses only. If an IP is private, it will return null.
How does it work in the search window?
This operation needs only one argument:
Argument | Data type |
|---|---|
Ip (v4 or v6) mandatory | ip, ip6 |
The data type of the new column is integer.
Example
In the demo.ecommerce.data table, we want to get the ASN corresponding to the IP addresses in our clientIpAddress column, so we click Create column and select the Geolocated ASN with MaxMind GeoIP2 operation. Select clientIpAddress as the argument and assign a name to the new column - let's call it asn.
You will see the following result:
How does it work in LINQ?
Use the operator select... as... and add the operation syntax to create the new column. These are the valid formats of the Geolocated ASN with MaxMind GeoIP2 operation:
mm2asn(ip)mm2asn(ip6)
Example
Copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the demo.ecommerce.data table.
from demo.ecommerce.data
select mm2asn(clientIpAddress) as asn
