💖 balboa-query(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is balboa-query from the balboa manual, section 1 — and it's literally your little key to asking pDNS what it knows about IP ranges. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

balboa-query — go get yourself some information from pDNS about IP ranges 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

balboa query [netmask] [flags]

like. that's the whole vibe. a subcommand, a netmask if you're feeling generous, and some flags. 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the way this works is: you point this command at a balboa endpoint, and it goes and asks for the tea ☕ about IPs that live inside whatever range you hand it.

it's giving "one question, one glorious answer." periodt. ✨

🫶 OPTIONS 🫶

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for query 🙈 like, it tells you how to use it. the [=false] is just the default, don't overthink it.
  • -s, --sensor="" — limits the query so you're only looking at observations that came from a single sensor. default is empty (which means: nah, all the sensors, let me see everything). 🍓
  • -u, --url="http://localhost:8080/query" — the URL of the GraphQL interface you're querying. default is http://localhost:8080/query, which is giving localhost main character energy. 💅
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — verbose mode. [=false] by default, so it chills unless you turn it on. 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • balboa(1) — the whole fam. go say hi. 🧚
ngl bestie, if you're not sure which sensor to pick, just leave --sensor empty and let the data come to you. 💀 (not me being your Unix hype woman, but here we are)

that's a wrap, angel — this page is from the balboa-query(1) manual, dated Mar 2026, and it lives in the same source/version universe as the rest of the balboa pages. mwah. 💋🎀✨
