infoblox_txt_record Data Source

Use the data source to retrieve the following information for a TXT record, which is managed by a NIOS server:

Parameter	Description	Example
`text`	The textual value for the TXT record. You must specify a value for this parameter.	`test.com`
`zone`	The zone that contains the record.	`test.com`
`ttl`	The Time to Live value of the record, in seconds.	`3600`
`comment`	A description of the record. This is a regular comment.	`spare node for the service`
`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 TXT record, specify the FQDN of the domain to which the text record is assigned, the FQDN of the mail exchange host, and the preference number.

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

Parameter	Required/Optional	Description
`fqdn`	Required	Specifies the fully qualified domain name to which the textual value is assigned.
`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.

Example of the TXT Record Data Source Block

The following example defines a data source of type infoblox_txt_record and the name "ds3", which is configured in a Terraform file. You can reference this data source and retrieve information about it.

resource "infoblox_txt_record" "rec3" {
dns_view = "nondefault_dnsview1"
fqdn = "example3.example2.org"
text = "data for TXT-record #3"
ttl = 300
comment = "example TXT record #3"
ext_attrs = jsonencode({
"Location" = "65.8665701230204, -37.00791763398113"
})
}

data "infoblox_txt_record" "ds3" {
dns_view = "nondefault_dnsview1"
fqdn = "example3.example2.org"

// This is just to ensure that the record has been be created
// using 'infoblox_txt_record' resource block before the data source will be queried.
depends_on = [infoblox_txt_record.rec3]
}

output "txt_rec3_text" {
value = data.infoblox_txt_record.ds3.text
}
output "txt_rec3_zone" {
value = data.infoblox_txt_record.ds3.zone
}
output "txt_rec3_ttl" {
value = data.infoblox_txt_record.ds3.ttl
}
output "txt_rec3_comment" {
value = data.infoblox_txt_record.ds3.comment
}
output "txt_rec3_ext_attrs" {
value = data.infoblox_txt_record.ds3.ext_attrs
}
