page_title: Host set resource
description: >-
Learn about using the host set resource to organize and manage hosts that have the same level of access control and belong to the same host catalog.
---
# Host sets
A host set is a resource
that represents a collection of [hosts][]
which are considered equivalent
for the purposes of access control.
A host set can only include hosts
from the same [host catalog][] as the host set.
A [target][] can reference host sets from host catalogs
which belong to the same [project][] as the target.
## Attributes
A host set has the following configurable attributes:
- `name` - (optional)
If set, the `name` must be unique within the host set's parent host catalog.
- `description` - (optional)
- `preferred_endpoints` - (optional)
A list of selector strings in the format of either `cidr:<valid IPv4/6 CIDR>`
or `dns:<globbed name>` used to select the addresses of hosts when
establishing a [session][] with a target.
### Plugin host set attributes
- `attributes` - (optional)
A collection of fields which the plugin uses to lookup which hosts should be
members of this host set. Often this includes a type of filter using a
syntax which is usable by the backing service.
- `sync_interval_seconds` - (optional)
The number of seconds between the time boundary syncs the hosts in this
set using this host set's plugin. Defaults to `600` seconds, or 10 minutes.
