infoblox_ptr_record Data Source

Use the infoblox_ptr_record data source to retrieve the following information about a PTR record from the corresponding object in NIOS:

Parameter	Description	Example
`zone`	The zone in which the record exists.	`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 PTR 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 a PTR record, specify a combination of the IP address associated with the record or the record’s name in the FQDN format and the FQDN that the record points to.

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

Parameter	Required/Optional	Description
`ptrdname`	Required	Specifies the fully qualified domain name the PTR record points to.
`ip_addr`	Required only if `record_name` is not set	Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 address associated with the PTR record. If both `ip_addr` and `record_name` are set, `ip_addr` will take precedence.
`record_name`	Required only if `ip_addr` is not set	Specifies the name of the PTR record, in the FQDN format, that can be used instead of an IP address. Example: 1.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa.
`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 PTR Record Data Source Block

The following example of an infoblox_ptr_record data source block defines a data source of type infoblox_ptr_record and name host1, which is configured in a Terraform configuration file. You can reference this resource and retrieve information about it. For example, data.infoblox_ptr_record.host1.comment returns the text in the comment field of the PTR record.

resource "infoblox_ptr_record" "host1" {
ptrdname = "host.example.org"
ip_addr = "2a05:d014:275:cb00:ec0d:12e2:df27:aa60"
comment = "workstation #3"
ttl = 300 # 5 minutes
ext_attrs = jsonencode({
"Location" = "the main office"
})
}

data "infoblox_ptr_record" "host1" {
dns_view="default"
ptrdname="host.example.org"
ip_addr="2a05:d014:275:cb00:ec0d:12e2:df27:aa60"

// This is just to ensure that the record has been be created
// using 'infoblox_ptr_record' resource block before the data source will be queried.
depends_on = [infoblox_ptr_record.host1]
