This connector will select IP addresses from data in your ElastiCube and provide a new table with data such as Continent, Country Name, State, City, Lat, Long and Country Flag.

IP addresses can provide insightful data that you can visualization in Sisense. An example would be a marketing companies tracking where users are coming from in order to better serve customers.
