Integrity

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", 

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

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

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?  

The migration doc says v1 “POST /Services/REST/v1/addExternalHostRecord” becomes “POST /api/v2/zones/{collectionId}/resourceRecords”, but there is no ‘zone’ for an ExternalHost record.  So what collectionId should I use? 

I am wondering is the Integrity release replacing/upgrade to BlueCat Address Manager or is it a completely different product?
