test.com

ttl

The Time to Live value of the record, in seconds.

1800

comment

Temporary PTR record

ext_attrs

The set of extensible attributes of the record, if any. The content is formatted as a JSON map.

{"Owner": "State Library", "Expires": "never"}

To get information about a PTR record, specify a combination of the DNS view, the IPv4 address that IP address associated with the record points to or the record’s name in the FQDN format , and the FQDN that corresponds to the IP addressthe record points to.

The following table describes the parameters you can define in an infoblox_ptr_record data source block:

Parameter

Required/Optional

Description

dns_viewptrdname

OptionalRequired

Specifies the DNS view in which the record in a reverse mapping zone exists. If a value is not specified, the name default will be usedfully qualified domain name the PTR record points to.

ip_addr

Required only if record_name is not set

Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 address associated with the PTR record. If both ip_addr and record_name are set, ip_addr will take precedence.

record_name

Required only if ip_addr is not set

Specifies the name of the PTR record, in the FQDN format, that can be used instead of an IP address. Example: 1.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa.

ptrdnamedns_view

RequiredOptional

Specifies the fully qualified domain name the PTR record points tothe DNS view in which the record’s zone exists.
If a value is not specified, default will be used as the DNS view name.
If the zone is in a non-default DNS view, then you must specify that view.

Example of the PTR Record Data Source Block

The following example of an infoblox_ptr_record data source block defines a data source of type infoblox_ptr_record and name host1, which is configured in a Terraform configuration file. You can reference this resource and retrieve information about it. For example, data.infoblox_ptr_record.host1.comment returns the text in the comment field of the PTR record.

resource "infoblox_ptr_record" "host1" {
ptrdname = "host.example.org"
ip_addr = "2a05:d014:275:cb00:ec0d:12e2:df27:aa60"
comment = "workstation #3"
ttl = 300 # 5 minutes
ext_attrs = jsonencode({
"Location" = "the main office"
})
}

data "infoblox_ptr_record" "host1" {
dns_view="default"
ptrdname="host.example.org"
ip_addr="2a05:d014:275:cb00:ec0d:12e2:df27:aa60"

// This is just to ensure that the record has been be created
// using 'infoblox_ptr_record' resource block before the data source will be queried.
depends_on = [infoblox_ptr_record.host1]
}

output "host1_id" {
value = data.infoblox_ptr_record.host1.id
}
output "host1_ip_addr" {
value = data.infoblox_ptr_record.host1.ip_addr
}
