Version
26.1.0

Micetro synchronizes ALIAS records, which can be viewed in the Web Application or through API.

In Micetro, ALIAS records are read-only. They have the type ALIAS and their underlying DNS record type is represented in the data field of the record, along with the resource id/hostname in a human-readable and raw format, all tab-separated.

Note: In the data grid, the full resource ID is not displayed in the Data column of the ALIAS record's entry in the list of a DNS zone's resource records. Only the underlying record type and formatted resource ID are displayed.
