vRealize Network Insight 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.
