Rules

Since rules are displayed in two locations, any discovered Forwarding Rule will have a Cloud Forwarder Rule and a Forward Zone representing it. Which DNS View these Forward Zones are created in depends on the Discovery Job Configuration (See AWS - Destination or GCP - Destination). When a Forward Zone is to be created, the Discovery Job tries to create it in the configured Destination DNS View from the Discovery Job Config. If a Forward Zone with the same FQDN already exists in that view, the Discovery Job creates an alternative view with the same name and the suffix “-1” and tries to create the Forward Zone there. If a Forward Zone with the same FQDN already exists in this alternative view, the Discovery Job increments the number in the suffix and retries. This continues until the Forward Zone can be created.  

For example, a Discovery Job named “Sync_my_endpoints” has discovered a Rule with the domain name “test.co.”, and a Forward Zone with the same name already exists in the following views: 

• Sync_my_endpoints.resolver_rules 

• Sync_my_endpoints.resolver_rules-1 

• Sync_my_endpoints.resolver_rules-2 

• Sync_my_endpoints.resolver_rules-3 

To sync this new Rule “test.co.”, the Discovery job will create a new view with the name “Sync_my_endpoints.resolver_rules-4” and then add the Forward Zone to this new view.
