Integrity support for ECS

Since I just became aware that Bluecat is shipping the subscriber version of BIND, which supports EDNS Client Subnet (ECS) for resolver - is adding ECS options supported? BAM doesn’t natively support any of them, but you could add them using raw options. We have some use cases that would benefit from ECS but I don’t want to add something in if it’s not officially supported and/or might unexpectedly disappear in future versions.

v2 API: GET Associated Deployment Roles for servers

I’m trying to find a way to retrieve the Associated Deployment Role Objects for servers, including the object info that I’m able to see in the GUI (zones, etc). I’m able to use this below to get the roles, but that embedded data doesn’t include the zone/network, and using the returned ID to get the object doesn’t contain that data either. Is there another way? {{bam_url}}/api/v2/servers/:id?fields=embed(deploymentRoles)

CVE-2025-40776 - subscriber-edition of BIND?

HOTFIX-590 released to fix CVE-2025-40776, but that CVE only affects the subscriber-edition of BIND which provides ECS support - and as far as I was aware Integrity doesn’t ship with the subscriber version?

How our community helped shape what’s next with Integrity XLayer 8 Lounge

How our community helped shape what’s next with Integrity X At BlueCat, we believe that innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it happens in partnership. With the release of Integrity X, our most significant and forward-looking platform update to date, we’re proud to say this wasn’t built for our customers—it was built with them.Through deep engagement with our user community, customer surveys, design interviews, and independent research with Enterprise Management Associates, one message came through loud and clear: network teams are under pressure to move faster, scale smarter, and automate everything, with a DDI platform that's unified and intuitive.That’s why Integrity X is more than a product release—it’s a response to what we heard from you. From the ground up, we’ve rebuilt the experience into a unified, intuitive, API-powered platform that can enable you to treat DNS and DHCP as code. The same RESTful APIs that Integrity X is built on top of are the ones your automation teams can

Creating an IP address in the v2 API

I have selected an UNASSIGNED ip address, and I want to assign it. I think this means basically two steps: Creating an A record and creating a PTR record (it seems there might be a 3rd step to do first, create the IP address object). Since creating an A record is something we’ll want to do sometimes even when we’re not assigning a new IP, I figured I would start by trying to accomplish the task: Simply write a method to create an A record.def record_a_create(self, views, fqdn, ipaddresses, change_control_comment = None):views is a list of strings, e.g. `[‘internal’,’external’]`fqdn is a str, e.g. “foobar.example.com”I have a method that takes a fqdn and searches to find which zone(s) that fqdn should be in, so I can POST to zone(s).ipaddresses is a list of either str, e.g. [‘192.168.1.1’, ‘192.168.1.2’]I think I need to, for each view, look up its ID. (No problem). And then to create the A record via:POST /api/v2/views/{view_id}/resourceRecords{ "type": "HostRecord", "name": "fqdn",

In BAM v2 API, how to find records that point to an IP address

We often have users delete A records, but neglect the “Delete linked IP address if orphaned” checkbox. This results in IP addresses that are unused, but in the web UI they still appear with a blue icon (state = “STATIC”) instead of gray icon (state = “UNASSIGNED”). I am trying to search a subnet for unused IP addresses, that are statically assigned but with no records pointing to them. I’m able to get the network easily enough.url = f"{self.url_base}/networks&filter=range:eq('{target_cidr}')"And then I’m able to get a list of all the IP addresses in the network easily enoughurl = f"{self.url_base}/networks/{network['id']}/addresses(I was also able to use a filter to get “UNASSIGNED” addresses in one go. Worked great, if only that was all I needed to get).I’m able to loop over all the IP addresses. This works perfectly fine, but performance is terrible, because I’m hitting the API for every IP address, 100ms per call * 300 calls = 30 sec to complete. By comparison when I browse the

Automating Bluecat Address Manager

Hi, if it makes any difference, I do have a support contract with Bluecat, so I can open official support requests if that’s a good approach for me. I haven’t done that yet. I figured I’d reach out to the community first.My first question is to ensure the direction I’m going is the most recommended direction. I have BlueCat Address Manager. I’m not sure which of these version strings is useful when asking a question here in the forum. ;-) When I browse to the BAM and click on Help, there is no “About” to simply tell me the version of BAM we have. There is Help > API Documentation, it says version “9.5 RESTful v2 API.” I couldn’t figure out how to query system-info using API v2, but when I query the version from “/system-info” via API v1, I get version string “'9.5.1-049.GA.bcn'”.I want to automate creation/deletion of CNAME records to support cert automation. I can use any language or tool, including python, terraform, or anything else. My first question is what’s recommended? So f

Best away to retrieve HostRecords in a zone with their addresses

I am using API v2 to retrieve all RR in a zone.I use the call “/api/v2/zones/<id>/resourceRecords”In parsing the output, in the case of TXT, SRV, Generic Records I get directly the rdata in the json() .But in case of a HostRecord I need to use the json()[‘data’]['_links']['addresses']['href'] to make an additional API call to get the actual IPv4 addresses of the RR.Problem: I am dealing with a huge zone ( > 300’000 entries), and this takes a long time…..Is there a way to retrieve directly with a single API call the RR of a zone with all the data, kind of a dump of a zone?

Global Server Selector Custom Healtchecks

Hi Community, we are planning to implement the Global Server Selector and as of now i’m wondering how the custom healthchecks are working. We can archive what we need we the onboard healthchecks but I’m curious how the custom healthchecks are working since it is no where described how to really implement one. Has anybody already implemented a custom healthcheck and can share more insights on them? Thx

BSUS and service overrides

For anyone out there using BSUS, how many services do you have in override mode and of those, are you managing them using scripts or manually?

General community discussion

Has anyone gotten BSUS working on PodMan. We are not wanting to install Docker CE becuase our server team does not support Redhat Unix and Docker any more. We have moved everything to Oracle Linix and PodMan. So far the repomse from Bluecat is that they do not know if BSUS would work on PodMan and that it wouldn;t be supported. They have not tested the application that configuration.
