Hi all,

 

I'm trying to use Infoblox with Ansible for both A-Record and PTR. How can I do this? I'm trying to find a fqdn from an ip, or an ip from a fqdn.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

You can do so by using the lookup plugins in your playbook as below.

---

- hosts: localhost
  vars:
    nios_provider:
      host: grid-master
      username: admin
      password: infoblox

  connection: local
  tasks:
# Get the list of A records
   - name: get member list
     set_fact:
       arecords: "{{ lookup('nios', 'record:a', provider=nios_provider) }}"
   - name: display all A records
     debug:
       msg: "{{ arecords}}"
# Get an A record using its name
   - name: get A record
     set_fact:
       arecord: "{{ lookup('nios', 'record:a', filter={'name': 'a.demo.com'}, provider=nios_provider) }}"
   - name: display A record a.demo.com
     debug:
       msg: "{{ arecord}}"
# Get an A record using its IP address
   - name: get A record
     set_fact:
       arecord: "{{ lookup('nios', 'record:a', filter={'ipv4addr': '192.168.1.2'}, provider=nios_provider) }}"
   - name: display A record for 192.168.1.2
     debug:
       msg: "{{ arecord}}"
# Get all PTR records
   - name: get all PTR records
     set_fact:
       ptrrecord: "{{ lookup('nios', 'record:ptr', provider=nios_provider) }}"
   - name: display list of PTR records
     debug:
       msg: "{{ ptrrecord}}"
# Get PTR record using its name
   - name: get PTR record
     set_fact:
       ptrrecord: "{{ lookup('nios', 'record:ptr', filter={'ptrdname': 'a.demo.com'}, provider=nios_provider) }}"
   - name: display PTR record a.demo.com
     debug:
       msg: "{{ ptrrecord}}"

Hope this helps,

Hi,

 

You can add it as part of filters.

# Get an A record in a view
   - name: get A record
     set_fact:
       arecord: "{{ lookup('nios', 'record:a', filter={'view': 'test'}, provider=nios_provider) }}"
   - name: display A records in view test
     debug:
       msg: "{{ arecord}}"

Hope this helps,

Krishna

Like in GUI...how can we do global search using  lookup... For a single host i need to get return  all the types of records..  including IPV4 , VLAN, network_view, comments  and all the DNS related records aswell (a, cname, mx, ipv4, host..etc.) 

 

if i need to decom a server i need find all the entries related a single host/server ..using ansible

Hi,

 

Can you try this and see if this is what you are looking for?

# Search against IP address
   - name: search for an IP address
     set_fact:
       iprecord: "{{ lookup('nios', 'search', filter={'address': '10.10.10.1'}, provider=nios_provider) }}"
   - name: display all the records associated with this IP address
     debug:
       msg: "{{ iprecord}}"

Regards,

Krishna

HI Krishna,

 

sorry its not working im using 

ansible --version
ansible 2.9.0

python version = 3.6.8 

 

Method 1 (which you suggestes)

Error:

Failed on object search with url https://infoblox.xxx.net/wapi/v2.1/search?address=10.12.131.81&_max_results=100000: b'{ "Error": "AdmConProtoError: Unknown argument/field: \'address\'", \n "code": "Client.Ibap.Proto", \n "text": "Unknown argument/field: \'address\'"\n}'

========================================================

wif ref to

https://ipam.illinois.edu/wapidoc/objects/search.html

 

i tried Method 2: using ansible uri module GET method as below. this is also not working. 

url: "https://infoblox.xxx.net/wapi/v2.1/search?fqdn={{host}}"

user: "{{username}}"
password: "{{password}}"
force_basic_auth: yes
method: get

Error:

--------------------------------------------------------

========================================================================

this Method 3: is working with ip address

as like with uri module get method.

 

 url: "https://infoblox.xxx.net/wapi/v2.1/search?address=10.2.6.6 

user: "{{username}}"
password: "{{password}}"
force_basic_auth: yes
method: get

 

  but the result is  not bringing all the record ..only IP related record its bringing i need to get cname record also. will be easy if work with search?fqdn=

 

 

so please help for all the 3 methods.

Hi,

 

Looks like WAPI version 2.1 does not support the fqdn filter. You can try with a later version of WAPI like below:

Hi,

 

Could you please share the error details? It would be easier for me to guide you with the actual query.

 

I tried this and it worked:
