infoblox_txt_record Resource

The infoblox_txt_record resource corresponds to a TXT record (text record) in NIOS. A TXT record contains supplementary information that it associates with a host. For more information about a TXT record, refer to Managing TXT Records in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.

The following table describes the parameters you can define in the resource block of the record:

Parameter	Required/ Optional	Description	Example Value
`fqdn`	Required	Specifies the fully qualified domain name of the host to which you want to assign the text value.	`host43.zone12.org`
`text`	Required	Specifies the text value for the TXT record. You must specify a value for this parameter.	`server for internal use`
`dns_view`	Optional	Specifies the DNS view in which the zone exists. If a value is not specified, `default` will be used as the DNS view name.	`dns_view_1`
`ttl`	Optional	Specifies the Time to Live value for the record. There is no default value for this parameter. If a value is not specified, then in NIOS, the TTL value is inherited from the parent zone of the DNS record for this resource. A TTL value of 0 (zero) means caching should be disabled for this record.	`600`
`comment`	Optional	Describes the record.	`auto-created test record #1`
`ext_attrs`	Optional	Specifies the set of NIOS extensible attributes that are attached to the record.	`jsonencode({})`

Examples of the TXT Record Block

// TXT-Record, minimal set of parameters
resource "infoblox_txt_record" "rec1" {
fqdn = "sample1.example.org"
text = "this is just a sample"
}

// some parameters for a TXT-Record
resource "infoblox_txt_record" "rec2" {
dns_view = "default" // may be omitted
fqdn = "sample2.example.org"
text = "data for TXT-record #2"
ttl = 120 // 120s
}

// all the parameters for a TXT-Record
resource "infoblox_txt_record" "rec3" {
dns_view = "nondefault_dnsview1"
fqdn = "example2.org "
text = "data for TXT-record #3"
ttl = 300
comment = "example TXT record #3"
ext_attrs = jsonencode({
"Location" = "65.8665701230204, -37.00791763398113"
})
