The CrowdStrike Falcon platform automatically categorizes hosts based on their operating system and role. On the Host Management page (Host setup and management > Hosts), the "Type" filter is the designated tool for sorting devices by these categories. This filter allows an administrator to quickly view all systems identified as "Workstation," "Server," "Domain Controller," or other specific roles, streamlining management and policy application for different types of endpoints.

A. Status: This filter is used to identify hosts based on their sensor's connection state (e.g., online, offline, stale), not the device's functional role.

B. Platform: This filter sorts by the base operating system (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux), which can include both workstations and servers without distinction.

C. Hostname: This is a search field used to find a specific, individual host by its unique name, not to filter for a category of devices.

1. CrowdStrike Falcon® Platform Documentation, "Host Management": In the section describing the user interface for host management, the documentation details the available filters. The "Type" filter is explicitly defined for categorizing hosts. An administrator can select "Workstation" from the "Type" dropdown menu to display all hosts that match this classification. (Accessed via the official CrowdStrike Support Portal, Falcon Platform Documentation).

2. CrowdStrike, "Getting Started with the Falcon Platform" Courseware: Module 3, "Host and Sensor Management," demonstrates the features of the Host Management page. The interactive labs and video tutorials show the use of the "Type" filter to isolate workstations from servers for tasks like group assignment and policy review.
