Table: azure_dns_zone - Query Azure DNS Zones using SQL

Azure DNS is a hosting service for DNS domains, providing name resolution using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. By hosting domains in Azure, it provides you with the same reliability and performance provided to Microsoft’s global network. Azure DNS also supports private DNS domains.

Table Usage Guide

The azure_dns_zone table provides insights into DNS zones within Microsoft Azure. As a network administrator, explore DNS zone-specific details through this table, including record sets, number of record sets, and associated metadata. Utilize it to uncover information about DNS zones, such as those with certain properties, the relationships between different zones, and the verification of DNS settings.

Examples

Basic info

This query allows you to analyze the configuration of your Azure DNS zones. It helps you identify instances where specific tags are used, providing insights into the organization and management of your resources.

select
  name,
  resource_group,
  tags
from
  azure_dns_zone;

select
  name,
  resource_group,
  tags
from
  azure_dns_zone;

List public DNS zones with record sets

Explore which public DNS zones in your Azure environment contain more than one record set. This can help in managing and organizing your DNS records effectively.

select
  name,
  resource_group
from
  azure_dns_zone
where
  number_of_record_sets > 1;

select
  name,
  resource_group
from
  azure_dns_zone
where
  number_of_record_sets > 1;

List public DNS zones with delegated name servers

Determine the areas in which public DNS zones are utilizing delegated name servers, which can be beneficial for those seeking to manage or troubleshoot their DNS configurations.

select
  name,
  resource_group,
  ns
from
  azure_dns_zone,
  jsonb_array_elements_text(name_servers) as ns
where
  zone_type = 'Public'
  and ns not like '%.azure-dns.%.';

select
  name,
  resource_group,
  ns.value as ns
from
  azure_dns_zone,
  json_each(name_servers) as ns
where
  zone_type = 'Public'
  and ns.value not like '%.azure-dns.%.';

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- azure

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_azure --config '<your_config>' azure_dns_zone
