Compatibility 0.9.6+

The IP anonymization enrichment lets you anonymize the IP addresses found in the user_ipaddress field by replacing a certain number of octets with "x"s. For example, anonymizing one octet would change the address 255.255.255.255 to 255.255.255.x, and anonymizing three octets would change it to 255.x.x.x.

		"name": "anon_ip",
		"vendor": "com.snowplowanalytics.snowplow",
		"enabled": true,
		"parameters": {
			"anonOctets": 2
		}
	}
}

The anonOctets field is set to two, so the last two octets of each IP address will be obscured.
