Support Information

Records

Supports A, AAAA, NS, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and PTR

Dynamic

Supports dynamic records.

EdgeCenter RR meta passthrough

EdgeCenter RR meta keys that octoDNS dynamic does not model (asn, ip, latlong, notes, regions, and others outside geo/weight/default/backup) can be preserved in YAML under provider-specific passthrough:

octodns:
  edgecenter:
    resource_record_meta:
      - value: 2.2.2.2
        meta:
          regions: [ru-lug]
          notes: set in EdgeCenter UI

On sync, passthrough meta is restored to the API by matching value to the RR content (CNAME targets are stored with a trailing dot, matching octoDNS dynamic values).

YAML is the source of truth. Extra changes now compare the full API payload, not just failover settings. If meta exists in EdgeCenter (for example set in the UI) but is not represented in your config — including passthrough entries — octodns-sync may plan an update that removes it on apply.

Records with EdgeCenter filters but only unsupported RR meta (for example asn or regions without geo, weight, default, or backup on any RR) import as plain values/value records instead of failing. Filters and that meta are not preserved on import. Syncing such a record may flatten server-side steering into a plain multi-value record.

Filters

Supports filter weight of records type A, AAAA, and CNAME (weighted_shuffle)

You need to use the weight pool:

---
'':
  # This is a dynamic record when used with providers that support it
  dynamic:
    # These are the pools of records that can be referenced and thus used by rules
    pools:
      weight:
        # Implicit weight to the weight pool (below)
        values:
        - value: 5.5.5.5
          weight: 25
        - value: 6.6.6.6
        - value: 7.7.7.7
          weight: 75
    # Rules that assign queries to pools
    rules:
    # No geos means match all queries
    - pool: weight
  ttl: 60
  type: A
  # These values become a non-healthchecked default pool
  values:
  - 5.5.5.5
  - 6.6.6.6
  - 7.7.7.7

Development

See the /script/ directory for some tools to help with the development process. They generally follow the Script to rule them all pattern. Most useful is ./script/bootstrap which will create a venv and install both the runtime and development related requirements. It will also hook up a pre-commit hook that covers most of what's run by CI.
