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`
`comment`	A text describing the record. This is a regular comment.	`Temporary A record`
`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 record's 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:

Parameter	Required/Optional	Description
`dns_view`	Optional	Specifies the DNS view in which the record's zone exists. If a value is not specified, `default` will be used as the DNS view name. If the zone is in a non-default DNS view, then you must specify that view.
`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.

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
}

output "foo_zone" {
value = data.infoblox_cname_record.foo.zone
}

output "foo_comment" {
value = data.infoblox_cname_record.foo.comment
}

output "foo_ext_attrs" {
value = data.infoblox_cname_record.foo.ext_attrs
}

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