Is there a way for an IP address request to also add an A record to DNS?
Is there a way for an IP address request to also add an A record to DNS?
A bit more information. I'm using the IPAM feature for users to request an IP address, it works fine. Since DNS servers are also integrated into our SolarWinds deployment, I was curious if it was also a possibility for an A record to be created along with the IP address request if is accepted/approved.
Hi rsharp-cok, This is currently not possible wit hthe ip request process. This documentation page talks about processing IP address requests Process IP request alerts in IPAM (solarwinds.com)
Is this something we should consider adding? How often do you have to create A records in your current use of IPAM?
Hey caneruguz,
We do not do this often at all. This is the first run at using the IP address request feature and it was a question that was asked during our testing. Honestly it isn't done enough in our environment so it won't break the usage of it but I do believe it would be a neat feature request since SW does connect to our DNS servers as well.
