Geolocated Accuracy Radius with MaxMind GeoIP2 (mm2accuracyradius, accuracyradius)

[ 1 Description ] [ 2 How does it work in the search window? ] [ 3 How does it work in LINQ? ]

Description

Geolocates an IPv4 or IPv6 address and returns the accuracy radius, in kilometers, around the latitude and longitude with a 67% confidence, using MaxMind GeoIP2 services. Use this to enrich your query with information about the level of accuracy of calculated geolocation information.

Agnostic operation alias

The alias accuracyradius is an agnostic operation aimed at defining more generic names for the GeoIP v2 operations.

Note that agnostic operations are only available in our APIs for now. These will be available in the search window of the Devo app in future releases.

How does it work in the search window?

This operation needs only one argument:

Argument	Data type

Argument	Data type
Ip (v4 or v6) ^mandatory	ip, ip6

The data type of the new column is float.

Example

In the demo.ecommerce.data table, we want to get the accuracy radius corresponding to the IP addresses in our clientIpAddress column. To do it, click Create column and select the Geolocated Accuracy Radius with MaxMind GeoIP2 operation. The arguments needed are:

Ip (v4 or v6) -clientIpAddress column

The result is a column of float data type containing the calculated accuracy radius in kilometers.

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 Accuracy Radius with MaxMind GeoIP2 operation:

mm2accuracyradius(ip)
mm2accuracyradius(ip6)

Example

Copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the demo.ecommerce.data table.

from demo.ecommerce.data
select mm2accuracyradius(clientIpAddress) as accuracyRadius
