mmdbinspect
- look up records for one or more IPs/networks in one or more .mmdb databases
mmdbinspect -db <path/to/your.mmdb> <IP|network>
db Path to a MMDB file. Can be specified multiple times.
<IP|network> An IP address, or network in CIDR notation. Can be
specified multiple times.
Any IPs specified will be treated as their single-host network counterparts (e.g. 1.2.3.4 => 1.2.3.4/32).
mmdbinspect
will look up each IP/network in each database specified. For each IP/network looked up in a database, the program will select all records for networks which are contained within the looked up IP/network. If no records for contained networks are found in the datafile, the program will select the record that is contained by the looked up IP/network. If no such records are found, none are selected.
The program outputs the selected records as a JSON array, with each item in the array corresponding to a single IP/network being looked up in a single DB. The Database
and Lookup
keys are added to each item to help correlate which set of records resulted from looking up which IP/network in which database.
This software is in beta. No guarantees are made, including relating to interface stability. Comments or suggestions for improvements are welcome on our GitHub issue tracker.
Release binaries have been made available for several popular platforms. Simply download the binary for your platform and run it.
Download and extract the appropriate tarball for your system. You will end up with a directory named something like mmdbinspect_0.0.0_linux_amd64
depending on the version and architecture.
Copy mmdbinspect
to where you want it to live. To install it into /usr/local/bin/mmdbinspect
, run the equivalent of sudo cp mmdbinspect_0.0.0_linux_amd64/mmdbinspect /usr/local/bin
.
(N.B. You can also use the tarball.)
Download the appropriate .deb for your system.
Run dpkg -i path/to/mmdbinspect_0.0.0_linux_amd64.deb
(replacing the version number and architecture as necessary). You will need to be root. For Ubuntu you can prefix the command with sudo. This will install mmdbinspect
to /usr/bin/mmdbinspect
.
(N.B. You can also use the tarball.)
Run rpm -i path/to/mmdbinspect_0.0.0_linux_amd64.rpm
(replacing the version number and architecture as necessary). You will need to be root. This will install mmdbinspect
to /usr/bin/mmdbinspect
.
This is the same as installing on Linux via the tarball, except choose a tarball with "darwin" in the name.
Download and extract the appropriate zip for your system. You will end up with a directory named something like mmdbinspect_0.0.0_windows_amd64 depending on the version and architecture.
Copy mmdbinspect.exe to where you want it to live.
We aim always to support the current and penultimate major releases of the Go compiler. You can get it at the Go website.
The easiest way is via go get
:
$ go get -u github.com/maxmind/mmdbinspect/cmd/mmdbinspect
This installs mmdbinspect
to $GOPATH/bin/mmdbinspect
.

Tame the output with the jq
utility
Print out the isp
field from each result found:
$ mmdbinspect -db GeoIP2-ISP.mmdb 152.216.7.32/27 | jq -r '.[].Records[].Record.isp'
Internal Revenue Service
Print out the isp
field from each result found in a specific format using string addition:
$ mmdbinspect -db GeoIP2-ISP.mmdb 152.216.7.32/27 | jq -r '.[].Records[].Record | "isp=" + .isp'
isp=Internal Revenue Service
Print out the city
and country
names from each record using string addition:
$ mmdbinspect -db GeoIP2-City.mmdb 2610:30::/64 | jq -r '.[].Records[].Record | .city.names.en + ", " + .country.names.en'
Martinsburg, United States
Print out the city
and country
names from each record using array construction and join
:
$ mmdbinspect -db GeoIP2-City.mmdb 2610:30::/64 | jq -r '.[].Records[].Record | [.city.names.en, .country.names.en] | join(", ")'

Get the AS number for an IP:
$ mmdbinspect -db GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb 152.216.7.49 | jq -r '.[].Records[].Record.autonomous_system_number'

When asking jq
to print a path it can't find, it'll print null
:
$ mmdbinspect -db GeoIP2-City.mmdb 152.216.7.49 | jq -r '.[].invalid.path'
null
When asking jq
to concatenate or join a path it can't find, it'll leave it blank:
$ mmdbinspect -db GeoIP2-City.mmdb 152.216.7.49 | jq -r '.[].Records[].Record | .city.names.en + ", " + .country.names.en'
, United States
$ mmdbinspect -db GeoIP2-City.mmdb 152.216.7.49 | jq -r '.[].Records[].Record | [.city.names.en, .country.names.en] | join(", ")'
