Hi all,
I'm using ulogd with PostgreSQL which stores IP addresses as 32bit
unsigned integers. So when I select some data I get something like:
ulogd=> SELECT id, ip_saddr, ip_daddr, raw_pktlen, ip_totlen,
tcp_window
FROM ulog LIMIT 20;
id | ip_saddr | ip_daddr | raw_pktlen | ip_totlen | tcp_window
----+------------+------------+------------+-----------+------------
1 | 3232235874 | 1074534522 | 46 | 46 | 25825
Where 'ip_saddr' and 'ip_daddr' are 'bigint'. I know I can convert
these numbers to dotted-decimal in perl with a small script like:
-=-=-
#!/usr/bin/perl
# This would be the number read from the DB
my $num=3232235874;
# Now do the math
my $temp=$num/256;
my $D=256*($temp-int($temp));
$temp=(int($temp))/256;
my $C=256*($temp-int($temp));
$temp=(int($temp))/256;
my $B=256*($temp-int($temp));
my $A=int($temp);
my $ip="$A.$B.$C.$D";
# Print the results
print "'num': [$num] -> 'IP': [$ip]\n";
-=-=-
What I would like to do is create a function that would do the same
thing so I could read out the IP addresses as standard dotted-decimal
format. Could anyone help me with this? I am quite the n00b when it
comes to functions. :)
These functions convert between signed 32 bit integers (with a -2^31
offset) and dotted quads. You should be able to tweak them pretty
easily:
create or replace function ip2int(text) returns int as '
DECLARE
a int;
b int;
c int;
d int;
BEGIN
a := split_part($1, ''.'', 1);
b := split_part($1, ''.'', 2);
c := split_part($1, ''.'', 3);
d := split_part($1, ''.'', 4);
RETURN (a-128) * 16777216 + b * 65536 + c * 256 + d;
END;
' LANGUAGE plpgsql IMMUTABLE;
create or replace function int2ip(int) returns text as '
DECLARE
a int;
b int;
c int;
d int;
BEGIN
a := (($1 >> 24) & 255) # 128;
b := ($1 >> 16) & 255;
c := ($1 >> 8) & 255;
d := $1 & 255;
RETURN to_char(a, ''FM999'') || ''.'' || to_char(b, ''FM999'') ||
''.'' || to_char(c,
''FM999'') || ''.'' || to_char(d, ''FM999'');
END;
' LANGUAGE plpgsql IMMUTABLE;
There's probably a neater way to do it via the inet (or ip4) data
types, but these functions should be easier to tweak to use bigint.
Cheers,
Steve
