Infoblox

Interact with the Infoblox WAPI with Ruby. Use this gem to list, create, and delete host records.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'infoblox'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install infoblox

Command-line usage

The infoblox gem installs a command-line script called "infoblox," which supports querying, adding, and removing host names from dns records: 

infoblox --help

Ruby client usage

Before you do anything, create a new client. This adds a connection to the base Resource class. 

client = Infoblox::Client.new(:username => "foo", 
                              :password => "bar", 
                              :host => "https://foo-bar-dns.example.com")

The client class has a few helper methods to make certain operations easier. Creating a host record: 

client.create_host("build-machine.internal", "10.10.3.3")
client.delete_host("build-machine.internal")
client.find_host_by_name("build-")

One can also use the resource classes directly to run arbitrary query logic: 

Infoblox::Network.find({"_return_fields" => "extensible_attributes"})
# => [...]

Infoblox::Host.find({"name~" => "demo[0-9]{1,}-web.domain"})
# => [...]

The Resource sub-classes also support get, post, put, and delete. For example, creating a network is pretty straightforward: 

network = Infoblox::Network.new
network.network = "10.20.30.0/24"
network.extensible_attributes = {"VLAN" => "my_vlan"}
network.auto_create_reversezone = true
network.post # true
