infoblox_network_view Data Source

Use the infoblox_network_view data source to retrieve the following information about a network view resource from the corresponding object in NIOS:

To retrieve information about network views 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 network views in the NIOS Grid.

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

The following is an example of an infoblox_network_view data source block:

resource "infoblox_network_view" "inet_nv" {
    name = "inet_visible_nv"
    comment = "Internet-facing networks"
    ext_attrs = jsonencode({
      "Location" = "the North pole"
})
}

data "infoblox_network_view" "inet_nv" {
    filters = {
      name = "inet_visible_nv"
    }
   
    // This is just to ensure that the network view has been be created
    // using 'infoblox_network_view' resource block before the data source will be queried.
    depends_on = [infoblox_network_view.inet_nv]
}

output "nview_res" {
    value = data.infoblox_network_view.inet_nv
}

// accessing individual field in results
output "nview_name" {
    value = data.infoblox_network_view.inet_nv.results.0.name //zero represents index of json object from results list
}

//accessing IPv4 network through EAs
data "infoblox_network_view" "nview_ea" {
    filters = {
      "*Administrator" = "jsw@telecom.ca"
      "*Location" = "65.8665701230204, -37.00791763398113"

      "*Location!" = "75.8665701230211"
    }
}

//retrieves matching Network Views with EA, if any
output "nview_ea_out" {
    value = data.infoblox_network_view.nview_ea
}
