IP

In the previous section, we discussed geo data type, which is used to store location-based data. In this section, we will discuss IP data type, which is used to store IP addresses. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. For example, we have a login history document, and we want to store the IP address of the client in the history. We can add an ip_address field to history mapping, as shown next:

 PUT chapter3/_mapping/history {   "properties": {     "ip_address": {       "type": "ip"     }   } }

You can index the history document with an IP address, as shown here:

{   "username" : "user1",   "ip_address" : "10.123.24.33",   "login_status" : "SUCCESSFUL" }
