Synopsis ¶

Adds and/or removes instances of host record objects from Infoblox NIOS servers. This module manages NIOS record:host objects using the Infoblox WAPI interface over REST.
Updates instances of host record object from Infoblox NIOS servers.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

infoblox-client

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
aliases string			Configures an optional list of additional aliases to add to the host record. These are equivalent to CNAMEs but held within a host record. Must be in list format.
comment string			Configures a text string comment to be associated with the instance of this object. The provided text string will be configured on the object instance.
configure_for_dns boolean		Choices: no yes ←	Sets the DNS to particular parent. If user needs to bypass DNS user can make the value to false. aliases: dns
extattrs string			Allows for the configuration of Extensible Attributes on the instance of the object. This argument accepts a set of key / value pairs for configuration.
ipv4addrs list / elements=dictionary			Configures the IPv4 addresses for this host record. This argument accepts a list of values (see suboptions) aliases: ipv4
	add boolean added in 0.2.0 of community.general	Choices: no yes	If user wants to add the ipv4 address to an existing host record. Note that with add user will have to keep the state as present, as new IP address is allocated to existing host record. See examples.
	configure_for_dhcp string		Configure the host_record over DHCP instead of DNS, if user changes it to true, user need to mention MAC address to configure aliases: dhcp
	ipv4addr string / required		Configures the IPv4 address for the host record. Users can dynamically allocate ipv4 address to host record by passing dictionary containing, nios_next_ip and CIDR network range. If user wants to add or remove the ipv4 address from existing record, add/remove params need to be used. See examples aliases: address
	mac string		Configures the hardware MAC address for the host record. If user makes DHCP to true, user need to mention MAC address.
	remove boolean added in 0.2.0 of community.general	Choices: no yes	If user wants to remove the ipv4 address from an existing host record. Note that with remove user will have to change the state to absent, as IP address is de-allocated from an existing host record. See examples.
ipv6addrs list / elements=dictionary			Configures the IPv6 addresses for the host record. This argument accepts a list of values (see options) aliases: ipv6
	configure_for_dhcp string		Configure the host_record over DHCP instead of DNS, if user changes it to true, user need to mention MAC address to configure
	ipv6addr string / required		Configures the IPv6 address for the host record aliases: address
name string / required			Specifies the fully qualified hostname to add or remove from the system. User can also update the hostname as it is possible to pass a dict containing new_name, old_name. See examples.
provider dictionary			A dict object containing connection details.
	host string		Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote instance of NIOS WAPI over REST Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_HOST` environment variable.
	http_request_timeout integer	Default: 10	The amount of time before to wait before receiving a response Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT` environment variable.
	max_results integer	Default: 1000	Specifies the maximum number of objects to be returned, if set to a negative number the appliance will return an error when the number of returned objects would exceed the setting. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_MAX_RESULTS` environment variable.
	max_retries integer	Default: 3	Configures the number of attempted retries before the connection is declared usable Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable.
	password string		Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_PASSWORD` environment variable.
	username string		Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_USERNAME` environment variable.
	validate_certs boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Boolean value to enable or disable verifying SSL certificates Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_SSL_VERIFY` environment variable. aliases: ssl_verify
	wapi_version string	Default: "2.1"	Specifies the version of WAPI to use Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_WAP_VERSION` environment variable. Until ansible 2.8 the default WAPI was 1.4
state string		Choices: present ← absent	Configures the intended state of the instance of the object on the NIOS server. When this value is set to `present`, the object is configured on the device and when this value is set to `absent` the value is removed (if necessary) from the device.
ttl string			Configures the TTL to be associated with this host record
view string		Default: "default"	Sets the DNS view to associate this host record with. The DNS view must already be configured on the system aliases: dns_view

Notes ¶

Note

This module must be run locally, which can be achieved by specifying connection: local.
