    Use this data source to access information about an existing DNS MX Record within Azure DNS.

    Note: The Azure DNS API has a throttle limit of 500 read (GET) operations per 5 minutes - whilst the default read timeouts will work for most cases - in larger configurations you may need to set a larger read timeout then the default 5min. Although, we’d generally recommend that you split the resources out into smaller Terraform configurations to avoid the problem entirely.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure";

const example = azure.dns.getMxRecord({
    name: "test",
    zoneName: "test-zone",
    resourceGroupName: "test-rg",
});
export const dnsMxRecordId = example.then(example => example.id);

    import pulumi
import pulumi_azure as azure

example = azure.dns.get_mx_record(name="test",
    zone_name="test-zone",
    resource_group_name="test-rg")
pulumi.export("dnsMxRecordId", example.id)

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure/sdk/v6/go/azure/dns"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		example, err := dns.LookupMxRecord(ctx, &dns.LookupMxRecordArgs{
			Name:              pulumi.StringRef("test"),
			ZoneName:          "test-zone",
			ResourceGroupName: "test-rg",
		}, nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		ctx.Export("dnsMxRecordId", example.Id)
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Azure = Pulumi.Azure;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() => 
{
    var example = Azure.Dns.GetMxRecord.Invoke(new()
    {
        Name = "test",
        ZoneName = "test-zone",
        ResourceGroupName = "test-rg",
    });

    return new Dictionary<string, object?>
    {
        ["dnsMxRecordId"] = example.Apply(getMxRecordResult => getMxRecordResult.Id),

    API Providers

    This data source uses the following Azure API Providers:

    • Microsoft.Network - 2018-05-01

    Using getMxRecord

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getMxRecord(args: GetMxRecordArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetMxRecordResult>
function getMxRecordOutput(args: GetMxRecordOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetMxRecordResult>
    def get_mx_record(name: Optional[str] = None,
                  resource_group_name: Optional[str] = None,
                  zone_name: Optional[str] = None,
                  opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetMxRecordResult
def get_mx_record_output(name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                  resource_group_name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                  zone_name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                  opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetMxRecordResult]
    func LookupMxRecord(ctx *Context, args *LookupMxRecordArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupMxRecordResult, error)
func LookupMxRecordOutput(ctx *Context, args *LookupMxRecordOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) LookupMxRecordResultOutput

    > Note: This function is named LookupMxRecord in the Go SDK.

    public static class GetMxRecord 
{
