Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
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.
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.
fqdn string / required			Specifies the qualified domain name to either add or remove from the NIOS instance based on the configured state value. aliases: name
grid_primary list / elements=dictionary			Configures the grid primary servers for this zone.
	name string / required		The name of the grid primary server
grid_secondaries list / elements=dictionary			Configures the grid secondary servers for this zone.
	name string / required		The name of the grid secondary server
ns_group string			Configures the name server group for this zone. Name server group is mutually exclusive with grid primary and grid secondaries.
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
restart_if_needed boolean		Choices: no yes	If set to true, causes the NIOS DNS service to restart and load the new zone configuration
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.
view string		Default: "default"	Configures the DNS view name for the configured resource. The specified DNS zone must already exist on the running NIOS instance prior to configuring zones. aliases: dns_view
zone_format string		Default: "FORWARD"	Create an authorative Reverse-Mapping Zone which is an area of network space for which one or more name servers-primary and secondary-have the responsibility to respond to address-to-name queries. It supports reverse-mapping zones for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
