xcsh_dns_load_balancer (Data Source)

Retrieves information about DNS Load Balancer in a given namespace. If one already exist it will give a error in F5 Distributed Cloud. This is a read-only data source.

~> Note: For more information, see the DNS Load Balancer API documentation.

# DNSLoadBalancer Data Source Example
terraform {
required_version = ">= 1.0"
required_providers {
xcsh = {
source = "f5-sales-demo/xcsh"
version = ">= 0.1.0"
}
}
}
# Look up an existing DNSLoadBalancer by name
data "xcsh_dns_load_balancer" "example" {
name = "example-dns-load-balancer"
namespace = "system"
}
output "dns_load_balancer_id" {
value = data.xcsh_dns_load_balancer.example.id
}

-> Syntax Rule: This provider uses OneOf groups for mutually exclusive options. Fields documented as “Optional Block” use block syntax field_name { ... }. Empty OneOf object attributes use field_name = {}; conditional selection uses condition ? {} : null. Boolean attributes (such as add_hsts and http_redirect) use = true or = false.
