namespace_type'agnostic' | 'single'

Determines whether the exception container is available in all Kibana spaces or just the space in which it is created, where:

  • single: Only available in the Kibana space in which it is created.
  • agnostic: Available in all Kibana spaces.

For endpoint artifacts, the namespace_type must always be agnostic. Space awareness for endpoint artifacts is enforced based on Elastic Defend policy assignments.

single deletes the item in the current Kibana space; agnostic deletes an item in a space-agnostic list. Must match the list that owns the item.
