What type of host group allows the use of filters to define its members?

A dynamic host group is designed to automatically include members based on specified filters or criteria. This means that the members of a dynamic host group can change over time as the data that meets the filter criteria changes. For instance, if the filter is set to include all hosts running a certain operating system version, any new hosts that meet this criterion will automatically be added to the group. This feature ensures that the group is always up-to-date without manual intervention, making it highly efficient for environment management.

In contrast, static host groups consist of a pre-defined set of hosts that do not change unless manually updated. Manual host groups also require individual management and do not utilize filters for dynamic membership. Default host groups typically serve as a foundational grouping but lack the filtering capability that is characteristic of dynamic host groups. Thus, dynamic host groups provide flexibility and ease of management through the use of filters, making them a preferred option in many scenarios.
