Set default Elastic Security UI connector

edit

Sets the default connector in the Elastic Security UI.

Connectors are used to interface with external systems. You can only call this method after you have created a connector (see Create connector). After a connector has been created and assigned, call Create or update an external incident to send cases to the external system.

You can also set the default connector in the Elastic Security UI for each case individually (see Update case).
