The IP Address GeoTagger returns geographical information for a valid IP address.
The IP Address GeoTagger is similar to the Address GeoTagger, except that it uses IP addresses as its input text. This module is useful IP addresses are present in the source data and you want to generate geographical information based on them. For example, if your log files contain IP addresses as a result of people coming to your site, this module would be most useful for visualization where those Web visitors are coming from.
Note that when given a string that is not an IP address, the IP Address GeoTagger returns NULL.
