azurermDnsMxRecord

Enables you to manage DNS MX Records within Azure DNS.

\~> Note: The Azure DNS API has a throttle limit of 500 read (GET) operations per 5 minutes - whilst the default read timeouts will work for most cases - in larger configurations you may need to set a larger read timeout then the default 5min. Although, we'd generally recommend that you split the resources out into smaller Terraform configurations to avoid the problem entirely.

Example Usage

/*Provider bindings are generated by running cdktf get.
See https://cdk.tf/provider-generation for more details.*/
import * as azurerm from "./.gen/providers/azurerm";
/*The following providers are missing schema information and might need manual adjustments to synthesize correctly: azurerm.
For a more precise conversion please use the --provider flag in convert.*/
const azurermResourceGroupExample = new azurerm.resourceGroup.ResourceGroup(
  this,
  "example",
  {
    location: "West Europe",
    name: "example-resources",
  }
);
const azurermDnsZoneExample = new azurerm.dnsZone.DnsZone(this, "example_1", {
  name: "mydomain.com",
  resource_group_name: azurermResourceGroupExample.name,
});
/*This allows the Terraform resource name to match the original name. You can remove the call if you don't need them to match.*/
azurermDnsZoneExample.overrideLogicalId("example");
const azurermDnsMxRecordExample = new azurerm.dnsMxRecord.DnsMxRecord(
  this,
  "example_2",
  {
    name: "test",
    record: [
      {
        exchange: "mail1.contoso.com",
        preference: 10,
      },
      {
        exchange: "mail2.contoso.com",
        preference: 20,
      },
    ],
    resource_group_name: azurermResourceGroupExample.name,
    tags: {
      Environment: "Production",
    },
    ttl: 300,
    zone_name: azurermDnsZoneExample.name,
  }
);
/*This allows the Terraform resource name to match the original name. You can remove the call if you don't need them to match.*/
azurermDnsMxRecordExample.overrideLogicalId("example");

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Optional) The name of the DNS MX Record. Defaults to @ (root). Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • resourceGroupName - (Required) Specifies the resource group where the DNS Zone (parent resource) exists. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • zoneName - (Required) Specifies the DNS Zone where the resource exists. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

  • ttl - (Required) The Time To Live (TTL) of the DNS record in seconds.

  • record - (Required) A list of values that make up the MX record. Each record block supports fields documented below.

  • tags - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the resource.


The record block supports:

  • preference - (Required) String representing the "preferenceā€ value of the MX records. Records with lower preference value take priority.

  • exchange - (Required) The mail server responsible for the domain covered by the MX record.

Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported:

  • id - The DNS MX Record ID.

  • fqdn - The FQDN of the DNS MX Record.

Timeouts

The timeouts block allows you to specify timeouts for certain actions:

  • create - (Defaults to 30 minutes) Used when creating the DNS MX Record.

  • update - (Defaults to 30 minutes) Used when updating the DNS MX Record.

  • read - (Defaults to 5 minutes) Used when retrieving the DNS MX Record.

  • delete - (Defaults to 30 minutes) Used when deleting the DNS MX Record.

Import

MX records can be imported using the resourceId, e.g.

terraform import azurerm_dns_mx_record.example /subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/mygroup1/providers/Microsoft.Network/dnsZones/zone1/MX/myrecord1
