These groups are not included +in a client's profile group, but instead are derived from the results +of probes executed on the client. These dynamic groups need not already +exist in ``Metadata/groups.xml``. If a dynamic group is defined in +``Metadata/groups.xml``, clients that include this group will also get +all included groups and bundles. + +Setting up dynamic groups +========================= + +In order to define a dynamic group, setup a probe that outputs the text +based on system properties:: + + group:groupname + +This output is processed by the Bcfg2 server, and results in dynamic +group membership in groupname for the client. See the :ref:`Probes +<server-plugins-probes-index>` page for a more thorough description +of probes. |
