Note

Advanced settings can either apply to all connections for this adapter, or to a specific connection. Refer to ​Advanced Configuration for Adapters.

  1. Aggregate Only A Record IP Addresses - If selected, will only add the IP for aggregation if the RDATA type is an A record. If cleared, any record will attempt to add an IP for aggregation.
  2. Add unresolved IP Addresses of a PTR record type - Select this option to fetch and enrich unresolved IPs to a DNS PTR record (asset), since this information does not come in a PTR record.
