infoblox_cname_record Data Source

Use the data resource for the CNAME object to retrieve the following information for CNAME records:

Parameter	Description	Example
`zone`	The zone that contains the record in the specified DNS view.	`test.com`
`ttl`	The time to live value of the record, in seconds.	`3600`

`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 CNAME record, you must specify a combination of the DNS view, canonical name, and an alias that the record points to.

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

`canonical`	Required	Specifies the canonical name of the record in the FQDN format.
`alias`	Required	Specifies the alias name of the record in the FQDN format.
