Doing complex parsing at query time can be expensive, so I would recommend performing this processing at ingest time and storing the IP address in a separate field.

Parse it out before you index the data, e.g. using Logstash or an ingest node pipeline. It all depends on how you are currently indexing data into Elasticsearch.
