Use the infoblox_ptr_record data source to retrieve the following information about a PTR record from the corresponding object in NIOS:

To get retrieve information about a PTR record, specify a combination of the IP address associated with the record or the record’s name in the FQDN format and the FQDN that the record points toPTR 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 PTR records in the NIOS Grid.

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

*Aliases are the parameter names used in the prior releases of Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for Terraform. Do not use the alias names for parameters in the data source blocks. Using them can result in error scenarios.

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"
})
}
