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.
The input value for the enrichment comes from ip
parameter which is mapped to user_ipaddress
field in atomic.events
table.
This enrichment algorithm is straightforward. The value of anonOctets
set in JSON
indicates how many octets of the IPv4 address are to be masked with x
s starting from the last octet. The value of the ip
parameter is masked accordingly.
The masked (anonymized) value of the IP address will be recorded in user_ipaddress
field of atomic.events
table.
