Lists index endpoint

Lists index endpoint

edit

Before using exceptions and lists, use the index endpoint to create .lists and .items system indices in the relevant Kibana space.

For information about the permissions and privileges required to create .lists and .items indices, see Enable and access detections.

The Kibana Console supports only Elasticsearch APIs. You cannot interact with the Kibana APIs with the Console and must use curl or another HTTP tool instead. For more information, refer to Console.
