Hi guys, ``` i've a question for you. I know that in ES is possible make a search ``` query with ip range, but is possible to put the subnet mask in this query?

The ip field type doesn't support a subnet, only just the ipv4 address. What do you want to do with storing also the subnet? If your goal is to store all ip addresses that fall into the specified subnet, then I think this would be a nice addition to the ip field type.

I'm not sure to get your question, would you like the query parser to translate an IP address and a subnet mask to a range query on ip addresses? -- Adrien Grand -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You can convert the ip from 4 octets to a number and store the number. Then you can use a library (or write your own code) that gets the minimum value and maximum value out of a subnet. Then you do a range query with those numbers. An IP address is just a number and a subnet is just a range.
