Isolate a host

edit

Isolates a host running Endpoint Security from the network.

Console supports Elasticsearch APIs only. Console doesn’t allow interactions with Kibana APIs. You must use curl or another HTTP tool instead. For more information, refer to Run Elasticsearch API requests.

Isolated is a persistent status until the endpoint is given a release command. You must have the superuser role to perform this action and at least a Platinum license.
