 ## Best Practices
 
-* Infoblox recommends that you manage all resources supported by IPAM Plug-In for Terraform from Terraform only. Modifying a resource outside of Terraform may result in unexpected behavior.
-* If you need to manage a large number of resources, Infoblox recommends that you manage them across multiple workspaces instead of using a single state file to manage all resources. For more information, see [Managing Workspaces](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/workspaces) and [Structuring Terraform Configuration](https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/structuring-hashicorp-terraform-configuration-for-production).

+# Host-record Data Source
+
+Use the `infoblox_host_record` data source to retrieve the following information for a Host-Record if any, which is managed by a NIOS server:
+
+* `dns_view`: the DNS view which the record's zone belongs to. Example: `default`
+* `fqdn`: the fully qualified domain name which the IP address is assigned to. `blues.test.com`
+* `ipv4_addr`: the IPv4 address associated with the Host-record. Example: `10.0.0.32`
+* `ipv6_addr`: the IPv6 address associated with the Host-record. Example: `2001:1890:1959:2710::32`
+* `mac_addr`: the MAC address associated with the Host-record. Example: `aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:11`
+* `zone`: the zone that contains the record in the specified DNS view. Example: `test.com`.
+* `ttl`: the "time to live" value of the record, in seconds. Example: `1800`.
+* `duid`: the DHCP Unique Identifier of the record. Example: `34:df:37:1a:d9:7f`.
+* `enable_dns`: the flag to enable or disable the DNS record. Example: `true`.
+* `enable_dhcp`: the flag to enable or disable the DHCP record. Example: `true`.
+* `comment`: the description of the record. This is a regular comment. Example: `Temporary A-record`.
+* `ext_attrs`: the set of extensible attributes of the record, if any. The content is formatted as string of JSON map. Example: `"{\"TestEA\":56,\"TestEA1\":\"kickoff\"}"`
+
+To retrieve information about host records that match the specified filters, use the `filters` argument and specify the parameters mentioned in the below table. These are the searchable parameters of the corresponding object in Infoblox NIOS WAPI. If you do not specify any parameter, the data source retrieves information about all host records in the NIOS Grid.
+
+The following table describes the parameters you can define in an `infoblox_host_record` data source block:
+
+### Supported Arguments for filters
