Use the data source to retrieve the following information for a TXT record, which is managed by a NIOS server:
Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| The DNS view in which the record's zone exists. |
|
| The fully qualified domain name to which a textual value is assigned. |
|
| The textual value for the TXT record |
. |
test.com
| ||
| The zone that contains the record. |
|
| The Time to Live value of the record, in seconds. |
|
| A description of the record. This is a regular comment. |
|
| The set of extensible attributes of the record, if any. The content is formatted as a string of JSON map. |
|
To get retrieve information about a TXT record, specify the FQDN of the domain to which the text record is assigned, the FQDN of the mail exchange host, and the preference numberTXT records that match the specified filters, use the filters argument and specify the parameters mentioned in the below table. These are the searchable parameters of the corresponding object in Infoblox NIOS WAPI. If you do not specify any parameter, the data source retrieves information about all TXT records in the NIOS Grid.
The following table describes the parameters you can define in an infoblox_txt_record data source block:
