The vDiscovery job of Azure Government cloud uses different service endpoints than that of Azure public cloud. The following table illustrates the use case of different endpoints that Infoblox supports:
Cloud | Service Endpoint Pattern | API Endpoint | Service Management Endpoint |
|---|---|---|---|
Azure public cloud | https://login.microsoftonline.com/* | https://management.azure.com/ | https://management.core.windows.net/ |
Azure Government | https://login.microsoftonline.us/* | https://management.usgovcloudapi.net/ | https://management.core.usgovcloudapi.net/ |
The following service endpoints are currently not supported by Infoblox:
Cloud | Service Endpoint Pattern |

Azure AD Germany | https://login.microsoftonline.de |
Azure AD China operated by 21Vianet | https://login.chinacloudapi.cn |
Configuring DNS Resolver
To perform vDiscovery for all resources in your Microsoft VNetsvirtual networks, you must enable DNS resolvers in NIOS. To configure DNS resolver for the Grid, complete the following steps in the NIOS GUI, Grid Manager:
On the Grid tab -> Grid Manager tab -> Members tab, expand the Toolbar, and then click Grid Properties.
In the Grid Properties editor, complete the following:
On the DNS Resolver tab, select the Enable DNS Resolver checkbox if it is not already selected.
In the Name Servers list, click Add to add the IP address of the upstream DNS server to the list.
Enter the IP address and press Enter.
Save the configuration. The changes may take a brief period of time to become active.
