***Version: 1.7  
Updated: April 29, 2026***

GreyNoise tells security analysts what not to worry about. They do this by curating data on IPs that saturate security tools with noise. This unique perspective helps analysts confidently ignore irrelevant or harmless activity, creating more time to uncover and investigate true threats. Includes Actions to allow IP enrichments and GNQL queries via the GreyNoise API.

## Actions

* **Context IP Lookup** *(Enrichment)* - Get more information about a given IP address.
* **Context IP Lookup Community** *(Enrichment)* - Query IPs in the GreyNoise dataset and retrieve a subset of the full IP context data using the free Community API.
* **Execute GNQL Query** *(Enrichment)* - Make complex and one-off queries against the GreyNoise dataset.
* **Grey Noise Alert Daemon** *(Daemon)* - Get an email if GreyNoise observes any Internet scan and attack traffic originating from networks that belong to you.
* **Ping** *(Enrichment)* - Check for connectivity and key validation.
* **Quick IP Lookup** *(Enrichment)* - Check whether a given IP address is “Internet background noise”, or has been observed scanning or attacking devices across the Internet.
* **RIOT IP Lookup** *(Enrichment)* - RIOT identifies IPs from known benign services and organizations that commonly cause false positives in network security and threat intelligence products.
