Dynamic Groups
==============
Bcfg2 supports the use of dynamic groups. 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 [wiki:Plugins/Probes Probes] page for a more thorough description of probes.
