Smart Folders read from which data source?

• A. Entire DB
• B. Local Cache
• C. Network Share
• D. External Disk

Answer: (A)

Smart Folders are dynamic views that query the grid’s central database. This means they pull data from the entire Infoblox database—the authoritative store for all DNS, DHCP, and IPAM objects across the grid. Because the source is the database, the results reflect the current state of the grid and update as objects change. They aren’t based on a local cache, a network share, or an external disk, which could become outdated. So the data you see in Smart Folders comes from the full, up-to-date database.
