 This function returns `true` if the IP address matches any of the specified CIDR blocks or `false` if it does not.
+
+## Example
+
+The following pipeline drops any documents that are not part of the specified CIDR blocks:
+
+```yaml
+cidr-allowlist-pipeline:
+  source:
+    http:
+      path: /events
+      ssl: true
+      sslKeyCertChainFile: "certs/dp.crt"
+      sslKeyFile: "certs/dp.key"
+  processor:
+    - drop_events:
+        # Drop events whose client IP is NOT in specific CIDR allowlist
+        drop_when: 'not cidrContains(/client/ip, "10.0.0.0/8", "192.168.0.0/16", "fd00::/8")'
+  sink:
+    - opensearch:
+        hosts: ["https://opensearch:9200"]
+        insecure: true
+        username: admin
+        password: "admin_pass"
+        index_type: custom
+        index: "logs-%{yyyy.MM.dd}"
+```
+{% include copy.html %}
+
+You can test this pipeline using the following command:
+
+```bash
+curl -ksS -X POST "https://localhost:2021/events" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '[
+    {"client":{"ip":"10.23.45.6"},"msg":"allowed 10/8"},
+    {"client":{"ip":"8.8.8.8"},"msg":"should be dropped"},
+    {"client":{"ip":"fd00::1234"},"msg":"allowed ULA IPv6"}
+  ]'
+```
+{% include copy.html %}
+
+Only two documents are indexed:
+
+```json
+{
+  ...
+  "hits": {
+    "total": {
+      "value": 2,
+      "relation": "eq"
