Parameters
field
- Input value. The input can be a single- or multi-valued column or an expression.
Description
Converts an input string to an IP value.
Supported types
field | result |
---|---|
ip | ip |
keyword | ip |
text | ip |
Example
ROW str1 = "1.1.1.1", str2 = "foo"
| EVAL ip1 = TO_IP(str1), ip2 = TO_IP(str2)
| WHERE CIDR_MATCH(ip1, "1.0.0.0/8")
str1:keyword | str2:keyword | ip1:ip | ip2:ip |
---|---|---|---|
1.1.1.1 | foo | 1.1.1.1 | null |
Note that in this example, the last conversion of the string isn’t possible. When this happens, the result is a null value. In this case a Warning header is added to the response. The header will provide information on the source of the failure:
"Line 1:68: evaluation of [TO_IP(str2)] failed, treating result as null. Only first 20 failures recorded."
A following header will contain the failure reason and the offending value:
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 'foo' is not an IP string literal."
