    Infoblox DNS activities

    The Infoblox DNS activities manage DNS records in your network using an Infoblox DDI Grid Server.

    Use these activities to register, list, or delete DNS records managed on an Infoblox server.

    List DNS C-records activity

    The List DNS C-records activity retrieves all canonical (CNAME) records from a specified Infoblox server.

    The DNS activities use the REST web service activity template to manage DNS records using an Infoblox DDI Grid Server. These activities are configured to use a MID Server with REST capabilities.

    To access this activity in the Workflow Editor, select the Custom tab, and then navigate to Custom Activities > Infoblox DDI > DNS.

    restCredentials The sys_id of the REST credentials from the ServiceNow instance.
    api_version Defines the version of WAPI to use for the integration endpoints. The default value is 2.0.
    Note: This field is mandatory. If field is empty, the orchestration activity will fail.
    view Name of the Infoblox network view. The default value is default.
