Summary

The asnDatabaseInfo() GraphQL query returns information about the IP ASN (autonomous system number) database used by a LogScale instance. ASN databases map IP addresses to autonomous system numbers and organization names, supporting IP enrichment in queries. Use this query to verify which database file is loaded, its update strategy, and metadata such as build date and MD5 hash.

Syntax

graphql
asnDatabaseInfo(): IpDatabaseInfo!

There is no input for this query field. For the results, request the absolute file path (dbFilePath), the update strategy (updateStrategy), and optional database metadata (metadata). See Returned Values for details.
