Example of the CNAME Record Data Source Block

resource "infoblox_cname_record" "foo" {
    dns_view = "default.nondefault_netview"
    canonical = "strange-place.somewhere.in.the.net"
    alias = "foo.test.com"
    comment = "we need to keep an eye on this strange host"
    ttl = 0 // disable caching
    ext_attrs = jsonencode({
      Site = "unknown"
      Location = "TBD"
    })

}
data "infoblox_cname_record" "foo"{
    dns_view="default.nondefault_netview"
    alias="foo.test.com"
    canonical="main.test.com"

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

output "foo_ttl" {
    value = data.infoblox_cname_record.foo.ttl
}

...

data "infoblox_cname_record" "cname_rec1" {
    dns_view = "default" // required optional parameter here
    canonical = "canonical.test.net"
    alias = "hq-server.example1.org"
}
