Description

A static set would be a set that is provided by an intel provider. It would not be changed by Suricata at runtime except for rule updates.

A dynamic set would provide features like storing the set to disk at shutdown, adding to the set from the rule language, etc.

We should probably add a keyword option to explicitly state if a set is dynamic or static, but we can also try to infer it. If the 'state' or 'save' options are used, it is dynamic.

Maybe it would make sense that if the set is loaded from the part of the file system that is managed by suricata-update, it is static.
