GeoIP

Lookup location or ASN information from an IP address

Overview

The GeoIP node performs a lookup of ASN (Autonomous System Number) information based on a provided IP address. This is useful for identifying the network or organization associated with an IP, which can be applied in network security, analytics, or geolocation services.

Use Case Examples

  1. Lookup ASN details for an IP address to identify the owning organization or network.
  2. Use ASN lookup to enrich logs or data streams with network ownership information.

Properties

Name Meaning
IP The IP address to lookup ASN information for, required input.
Options Additional settings for the lookup, including output field name and language for location names.

Output

    • organization - The organization associated with the ASN.
    • country - Country code related to the ASN.
    • description - Description or name of the ASN.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the IP address input is valid and correctly formatted to avoid lookup errors.
  • If the API key or credentials are missing or invalid, the node will fail to retrieve data.
  • Check network connectivity to the GeoIP service endpoint if requests time out or fail.
