Correct Way to Add a Srv Record to Google Cloud Dns?

I'm trying to add records needed to get my email working. When I try to add the SRV record to Google Cloud, the data text field template has only 3 numbers and a text ?? But on godaddy there are these fields that need to be add:

Port, Protocol, Name, Service, Priority, Weight, Target. here is an example from godaddy:

443 _tls    @   _sip    100 1   some-thing.some-thing

Here is Google Cloud records form:

So how should I add these data properly ?

1 Answer

it's a SRV record - which contains the SRV data:

Port Protocol Name Service Priority Weight Target
5060     _tls    @    _sip      100      1 some-thing.some-thing

the format is _service._proto.name. TTL class SRV priority weight port target.

taken apart, might use name _sip._tcp.acme.com. with SRV data alike:

0 1 5060 sip.acme.com.

notice the trailing .
