infoblox_aaaa_record Data Source
- Jyothi KP
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 |
|---|---|---|
| The DNS view in which the record's zone exists. |
|
| The IPv6 address associated with the AAAA-record. |
|
| The fully qualified domain name which the IP address is assigned to. |
|
| The zone that contains the record in the specified DNS view. |
|
| The Time to Live value of the record, in seconds. |
|
| A description of the record. This is a regular comment. |
|
| The set of extensible attributes of the record, if any. The content is formatted as a string of JSON map. |
|
To retrieve information about AAAA records 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 AAAA records in the NIOS Grid.
The following table describes the parameters you can define in an infoblox_aaaa_record data source block:

*Aliases are the parameter names used in the prior releases of Infoblox IPAM Plug-In for Terraform. Do not use the alias names for parameters in the data source blocks. Using them can result in error scenarios.
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 qa_rec_temp, which is configured in a Terraform file. You can reference the resource and retrieve information about it.
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" "qa_rec_temp" { filters = { name ="very-interesting-host.example.com" ipv6addr ="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 "qa_rec_res" { value = data.infoblox_aaaa_record.qa_rec_temp}
// accessing ip addr field in resultsoutput "qa_rec_addr" { value = data.infoblox_aaaa_record.qa_rec_temp.results.0.ip_addr //zero represents index of json object from results list}
