DNS Group Resources Awaiting Approval

 A "Resources Awaiting Approval" module will display above the DNS Group containers if a DNS Group change has been submitted on that page that is pending approval. 


DNS Group Container

The DNS Group container displays the DNS Group information in the top header bar, showing the group name, group id, and visibility controls:

  • Expand or close the group container by clicking on the expansion arrow ( > ) on the far right of the header.
  • Clicking on the X will delete the group and all zones included in the group.
  • Rename the group by clicking on the name, then typing the desired changes and clicking outside of the name. 
  • A Resources Awaiting Approval module will display above the zone list if the current user has submitted a zone list level approval request, or can respond to a submitted request.

Information for Attached Servers, Group Default Parameters, Applied ACLs, and Catalog Zones settings may also be viewed and edited by clicking on the expansion arrows for each section.

DNS Zones List


The zone list displays zones included in the group under separate tabs:

  • Forward / Reverse / Catalog Zones Tabs: Shows zone list containing only forward zones, reverse zones, or catalog zones when selected. 
  • Zone Name (Sortable): Displays the name of the zone. Click on the zone name to open the zone details window, showing individual records. Click on the "Zone Name" header will sort the zone list by ascending or descending by name. 
  • Last Pushed: The date and time the zone was last pushed. 
  • Last Modified (Sortable). The date and time the zone was last modified. Clicking on the "Last Modified" header will sort the zone list by most / least recent modification date. 
  • Records: How many records are in the zone.
  • Zone Status: Will notify if the zone or server connection contains errors, after a check has been performed. Clicking on the "Contains Errors" message will provide additional details on the error. 
  • Actions: The actions that may be performed on each zone:
    • Delete: Deletes the zone from ProVision and removes the entry in ProVision conf file on the remote server(s) (the user will also receive a prompt to confirm they wish to complete the action).
    • Push: Pushes the zone to the associated server.
    • Move: Moves the zone to a different group.
    • Check: Performs a check on the zone, notifying the user if errors or warnings are present for the zone. 
    • Perms (Admin): Provides a shortcut for Admin users to change the group/user permissions for the zone. 


Attached Servers Module

The Attached Servers module displays information on servers attached to the DNS group that group pushes will be sent to. Click on the header title or expand arrow ( > ) to expand or collapse the module.

  • Attached Servers List: Displays the Server Name, Server Backend, Server Type, Server Status, and available actions. Click on the Server Name link to view details
  • Actions: Buttons under the Actions column indicate available actions for the server:
    • Detach: Detaches the server from the DHCP group.
    • Perms: View or edit permissions for the attached server. 
  • Attach Sever: Admins and users with server/group parent permissions may view, attach, or detach a server from the group. Select an available server from the dropdown and click "Attach" to attach to the DNS group.


Group Default Parameters

The Group Default Parameters lists default group settings including nameservers, SOA values, and Push Policy. Further Advanced Settings options are available if expanded.

Applied ACLs

Group ACL settings may be set if the attached server for the group supports Views. 

Catalog Zone Settings

 

Catalog Zone settings provides the option Enable / Disable Catalog Zones. Enabling Catalog Zone exports all zones inside the group into a new catalog zone, so that slave servers can receive zone changes.

Scheduled Tasks

If a scheduled push has been set up for the group, the task information will show in a "Scheduled Tasks" module, where you can review or delete scheduled group pushes. 

...

All zones under a DNS group may be exported to a .zip file by clicking the "Export Zones" button at the top of the group module.

The exported .zip file may be used with the BIND DNS Zone Upload / Import tool.
