How does it work in the search window?

Select Create column in the search window toolbar, then select the To IPv6 (mapped) operation. You need to specify one argument:

Argument	Data type

Argument	Data type

The data type of the values in the new column is ip6.

Example

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 To IPv6 (mapped) operation:

mapped(ip)

Example

You can copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the siem.logtrust.web.activity table.

from siem.logtrust.web.activity
select ip4(responseLength) as IP,
mapped(IP) as ipv6mapped
