Use the infoblox_aaaa_record data source to retrieve the following information about an AAAA record from the corresponding object in NIOS:

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.	`1800`
`comment`	A description of the record. This is a regular comment.	`Temporary AAAA 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 an AAAA record, specify a combination of the the IPv6 address that the record points to and the FQDN that corresponds to the IP address. The following table describes the parameters you can define in an infoblox_aaaa_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.
`ipv6_addr`	Required	Specifies the IPv6 address associated with the AAAA record.
`fqdn`	Required	Specifies the fully qualified domain name to which the IP address is assigned.

Example of the AAAA Record Data Source Block

The following example of an infoblox_aaaa_record data source block defines a data source of type infoblox_aaaa_record and name vip_host, which is configured in a Terraform file. You can reference the resource and retrieve information about it. For example, data.infoblox_aaaa_record.vip_host.comment returns the text in the comment field of the AAAA record.

resource "infoblox_aaaa_record" "vip_host" {
fqdn = "very-interesting-host.example.com"
ipv6_addr = "2a05:d014:275:cb00:ec0d:12e2:df27:aa60"
comment = "some comment"
ttl = 120 // 120s
ext_attrs = jsonencode({
"Location" = "65.8665701230204, -37.00791763398113"
})
}

data "infoblox_aaaa_record" "vip_host" {
dns_view="default"
fqdn="very-interesting-host.example.com"
ipv6_addr="2a05:d014:275:cb00:ec0d:12e2:df27:aa60"

// This is just to ensure that the record has been be created
// using 'infoblox_aaaa_record' resource block before the data source will be queried.
depends_on = [infoblox_aaaa_record.vip_host]
}

output "vip_host_id" {
value = data.infoblox_aaaa_record.vip_host.id
}

output "vip_host_zone" {
value = data.infoblox_aaaa_record.vip_host.zone
}

output "vip_host_ttl" {
value = data.infoblox_aaaa_record.vip_host.ttl
}

output "vip_host_comment" {
value = data.infoblox_aaaa_record.vip_host.comment
}

output "vip_host_ext_attrs" {
value = data.infoblox_aaaa_record.vip_host.ext_attrs
}

data "infoblox_aaaa_record" "aaaa_rec2" {
fqdn = "static2.example4.org"
ipv6_addr = "2002:1111::1402"
dns_view = "nondefault_dnsview2"
