Elastic Stack (ELK Stack) Security Solution Initialization API is one of 132 APIs that [Elastic Stack (ELK Stack)](https://apis.io/providers/elk-stack/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Security Solution Initialization API. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

Use the initialization API to set up the assets Elastic Security needs to operate in a Kibana space. A single request can run one or more initialization flows. Each flow provisions a specific set of assets (for example, list indices, security data views, prebuilt detection rules, endpoint protection, AI prompts, or detection rule monitoring assets). The response reports a per-flow result so you can tell which flows completed and which returned an error.
