SOA serial not increased when zone record created over API

[koviju]

Hello Guys

I try to troubleshoot issue of using pdns APIs, i found out that Serial of soa is not increased once record created over APIs
I see record is created even it can be resolved within pdns server , but serial is not increased and therefore record is not replicated to other DNSs (secondary)

on multiple different forums i found out that "SOA-EDIT-API" should be set..so i did ..and currently i have below setup
[{"kind": "SOA-EDIT", "metadata": ["INCEPTION-INCREMENT"], "type": "Metadata"}, {"kind": "SOA-EDIT-API", "metadata": ["INCEPTION-INCREMENT"], "type": "Metadata"}]

result is still the same , notsure if service has to be reload ..i just did
pdns_control reload domain or pdns_control rediscover , but no change

PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.8.4 ,
Using 64-bits mode. Built using gcc 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-20)

Not sure if its some sort of bug , that it should work after flags set ..but it doesnt

Thank you

Can you show pdnsutil show-zone for your zone, and the API call, and response, that you do?

[koviju]

pdnsutil show-zone test.zone.com
output
This is a Master zone
Last SOA serial number we notified: 2025061018 == 2025061018 (serial in the database)
Zone is not actively secured
Metadata items:
SOA-EDIT INCEPTION-INCREMENT
SOA-EDIT-API INCEPTION-INCREMENT
No keys for zone 'test.zone.com'.

Obviously i used different naming

regarding request :
headers = {
'X-API-Key': "api_key",
'Content-Type' : 'application/json'
}
url: str = "http://pwdnsserver:8080/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones/test.zone.com"
session: Session = requests.session()
body : dict = {
"rrsets": {
"name": "testname1.test.zone.com.",
"type": "A",
"changetype": "REPLACE",
"records": [{
"content": "10.10.10.10",
"disabled": False
}]
}
}
response: Response = session.request(
method="PATCH",
url=url,
proxies=proxies,
headers=headers,
verify=False,
json=body
)
Actually i think request is correct i can see record is correctly inserted and also i can resolve it when making nslookup asking directly pwdns server .. i can see it in pwdns manager .. but its not propagated, and i can see that serial of SOA is not increased after new record insert..
we are using also pwdns Manager , when record created over manager all is fine.

Thank you for mentioning that - most people do it quietly. However, we cannot help with incomplete/obscured data. Please read #13200 and update your post.

what does it change if i will not provide exactly domain name ?.. if thats the problem i can provide specific domain name
but you need to understand that i cannot share some specific details of customer ..but i dont think that it should influence troubleshooting

For those who will be reading this post, i finally find flag by trail and error
'soa_edit_api': 'SOA-EDIT-INCREASE'
which solved my problem ..now serial of SOA is increased and record is replicated as expected
no need to modify SOA-EDIT metadata .. i modified only SOA-EDIT-API
