Suppose we have the following data structure, and we want to select on the public IPv4 address only:
{ "ip_addresses":[ { "address":"145.40.82.9", "address_family":4, "cidr":31, "gateway":"145.40.82.8", "netmask":"255.255.255.254", "network":"145.40.82.8", "public":true }, { "address":"2604:1380:45e1:c100::1", "address_family":6, "cidr":127, "gateway":"2604:1380:45e1:c100::", "netmask":"ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:fffe", "network":"2604:1380:45e1:c100::", "public":true }, { "address":"10.67.3.1", "address_family":4, "cidr":31, "gateway":"10.67.3.0", "netmask":"255.255.255.254", "network":"10.67.3.0", "public":false } ] }
In the example above, the following jq command can be used:
'jq( [.ip_addresses[] | select(.address_family==4)] | .[] | select(.public) )'
The breakdown for the jq command is as follow:
[.ip_addresses[] | select(.address_family==4)]
... selects the array of ip_addresses and uses the first select statement to create an array of IPv4 addresses (the array is necessary in case there are more than one).
| .[] | select(.public)
... takes the object created in the previous step and passes it to another select statement, in this case where public==true
