Enriching Flows with the Infoblox DNS Data

VMware Aria Operations for Networks supports two sources of DNS information:

• Imported CSV file
• Infoblox DNS

Note: If there is a conflict between Infoblox DNS and the CSV file, the information from Infoblox DNS takes precedence.

You can use various search queries to find out more about the source of DNS entries in a flow.
