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	Comments
aliases list / elements=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 aliases: dns boolean	Sets the DNS to particular parent. If user needs to bypass DNS user can make the value to false. Choices: no yes ← (default)
extattrs dictionary	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 aliases: ipv4 list / elements=dictionary	Configures the IPv4 addresses for this host record. This argument accepts a list of values (see suboptions).
add aliases: add boolean added in 1.0.0 of infoblox.nios_modules	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. Choices: no yes
configure_for_dhcp aliases: dhcp boolean	Configure the host_record over DHCP instead of DNS, if user changes it to true, user need to mention MAC address to configure. Choices: no yes
ipv4addr aliases: address 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.
mac aliases: mac string	Configures the hardware MAC address for the host record. If user makes DHCP to true, user need to mention MAC address.
remove aliases: remove boolean added in 1.0.0 of infoblox.nios_modules	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. Choices: no yes
ipv6addrs aliases: ipv6 list / elements=dictionary	Configures the IPv6 addresses for the host record. This argument accepts a list of values (see options).
configure_for_dhcp boolean	Configure the host_record over DHCP instead of DNS, if user changes it to true, user need to mention MAC address to configure. Choices: no yes
ipv6addr aliases: address string / required	Configures the IPv6 address for the host record.
mac aliases: mac string	Configures the hardware MAC address for the host record. If user makes DHCP to true, user need to mention MAC 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_pool_connections integer	Insert decription here Default: 10
http_pool_maxsize integer	Insert description here Default: 10
http_request_timeout integer	The amount of time before to wait before receiving a response Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT` environment variable. Default: 10
max_results integer	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. Default: 1000
max_retries integer	Configures the number of attempted retries before the connection is declared usable Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable. Default: 3
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.
silent_ssl_warnings boolean	Insert description here Choices: no yes ← (default)
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 aliases: ssl_verify boolean	Boolean value to enable or disable verifying SSL certificates Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_SSL_VERIFY` environment variable. Choices: no ← (default) yes
wapi_version string	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 Default: “2.1”
state string	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. Choices: present ← (default) absent
ttl integer	Configures the TTL to be associated with this host record.
view aliases: dns_view string	Sets the DNS view to associate this host record with. The DNS view must already be configured on the system. Default: “default”
