New in version 2.8.
Synopsis
- Adds and/or removes nameserver groups form Infoblox NIOS servers. This module manages NIOS
nsgroup
objects using the Infoblox. WAPI interface over REST.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
comment - | 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 - | Allows for the configuration of Extensible Attributes on the instance of the object. This argument accepts a set of key / value pairs for configuration. | ||
external_primaries - | Configures a list of external nameservers (non-members of the grid). This option is required when setting use_external_primaries to true . | ||
address - / required | Configures the IP address of the external nameserver | ||
name - / required | Set a label for the external nameserver | ||
stealth boolean |
| Configure the external nameserver as stealth server (without NS record) in the zones. | |
tsig_key - | Set a DNS TSIG key for the nameserver to secure zone transfers (AFXRs). | ||
tsig_key_alg - |
| Provides the algorithm used for the tsig_key in use. | |
tsig_key_name - | Sets a label for the tsig_key value | ||
external_secondaries - | Allows to provide a list of external secondary nameservers, that are not members of the grid. | ||
address - / required | Configures the IP address of the external nameserver | ||
name - / required | Set a label for the external nameserver | ||
stealth boolean |
| Configure the external nameserver as stealth server (without NS record) in the zones. | |
tsig_key - | Set a DNS TSIG key for the nameserver to secure zone transfers (AFXRs). | ||
tsig_key_alg - |
| Provides the algorithm used for the tsig_key in use. | |
tsig_key_name - | Sets a label for the tsig_key value | ||
grid_primary - | This host is to be used as primary server in this nameserver group. It must be a grid member. This option is required when setting use_external_primaries to false . | ||
enable_preferred_primaries boolean |
| This flag represents whether the preferred_primaries field values of this member are used (see Infoblox WAPI docs). | |
grid_replicate boolean |
| Use DNS zone transfers if set to True or ID Grid Replication if set to False . | |
lead boolean |
| This flag controls if the grid lead secondary nameserver performs zone transfers to non lead secondaries. | |
name - / required | Provide the name of the grid member to identify the host. | ||
stealth boolean |
| Configure the external nameserver as stealth server (without NS record) in the zones. | |
grid_secondaries - | Configures the list of grid member hosts that act as secondary nameservers. This option is required when setting use_external_primaries to true . | ||
enable_preferred_primaries boolean |
| This flag represents whether the preferred_primaries field values of this member are used (see Infoblox WAPI docs). | |
grid_replicate boolean |
| Use DNS zone transfers if set to True or ID Grid Replication if set to False
| |
lead boolean |
| This flag controls if the grid lead secondary nameserver performs zone transfers to non lead secondaries. | |
name - / required | Provide the name of the grid member to identify the host. | ||
preferred_primaries - | Provide a list of elements like in external_primaries to set the precedence of preferred primary nameservers. | ||
stealth boolean |
| Configure the external nameserver as stealth server (without NS record) in the zones. | |
is_grid_default boolean |
| If set to True this nsgroup will become the default nameserver group for new zones. | |
name - / required | Specifies the name of the NIOS nameserver group to be managed. | ||
provider dictionary | A dict object containing connection details. | ||
host string / required | 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 |
| 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 - |
| 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. | |
use_external_primary boolean |
| This flag controls whether the group is using an external primary nameserver. Note that modification of this field requires passing values for grid_secondaries and external_primaries. |
