unknown extensible attribute: Terraform Internal ID when using the infoblox_ip_allocation resource

[Robogeek95]

I keep having errors regarding an unknown extensible attribute: Terraform Internal ID when using the infoblox_ip_allocation resource.

How do I fix this, please? do I need to create this before I am able to use the resource?

infoblox_ip_allocation.guest_ip will be created

• resource "infoblox_ip_allocation" "guest_ip" {

  • allocated_ipv4_addr = (known after apply)
  • allocated_ipv6_addr = (known after apply)
  • dns_view = "Internal"
  • enable_dns = true
  • ext_attrs = jsonencode({})
  • fqdn = "fldcvdswa40102.wdw.disney.com"
  • id = (known after apply)
  • internal_id = (known after apply)
  • ipv4_cidr = "10.51.152.0/23"
  • network_view = "DGN"
  • ref = (known after apply)
  • ttl = -2147483648 }

  Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.

Do you want to perform these actions? Terraform will perform the actions described above. Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.

Enter a value: yes

infoblox_ip_allocation.guest_ip: Creating...

Error: error while creating a host record: WAPI request error: 400('400 Bad Request') Contents: { "Error": "AdmConProtoError: Unknown extensible attribute: Terraform Internal ID", "code": "Client.Ibap.Proto", "text": "Unknown extensible attribute: Terraform Internal ID" }

The terraform block that created this is:

resource "infoblox_ip_allocation" "guest_ip" { network_view="DGN" dns_view = "Internal" enable_dns = true ipv4_cidr = var.infoblox_cidr fqdn = format("%s.%s", local.vm_name, local.ad_domain) }

It's in the documentation: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/infobloxopen/infoblox/latest/docs/resources/infoblox_ip_allocation

@rvdh the Terraform documentation points to NIOS documentation. NIOS documentation consists of 2300 pages, and it doesn't contain any information about "internal id", or "terraform". Is there anything more specific and rather easy to read ? I see the following in the UI, but it's not clear how I should use this:

can I suggest to add two lines in the Terraform documentation, just to explain the followings:

• An Infoblox administrator needs to create an extensible attribute.
• The name of the attribute is Terraform Internal ID, the type of the attribute is String, Min and Max value can be empty, and the comment can be anything.

NIOS documentation will scare the user for nothing.

Sad to see there's no reaction to this after May 2023.

I suppose this could also possible solve this message happening with provider version 2.5.0 but not with 2.4.1:

│ Error: WAPI request error: 400('400 Bad Request')
│ Contents:
│ { "Error": "AdmConDataError: None (IBDataConflictError: IB.Data.Conflict:Cannot create extensible attribute definition 'Terraform Internal ID'. Only superusers can manage extensible attribute definition)", 
│   "code": "Client.Ibap.Data.Conflict", 
│   "text": "Cannot create extensible attribute definition 'Terraform Internal ID'. Only superusers can manage extensible attribute definition"
│ }

this fixed the error for us in version 2.6

For extensible attribute, we have added the document in our GIT document. Ref: README

Hence marking it as closed.
