The entity store can store any entity type observed by {elastic-sec}. This allows you to store, view, and query select entities directly from an index without needing to perform real-time searches of observable data. The entity store extracts entities from all indices in the {elastic-sec} <<default-data-view-security, default data view>>.

Once the entity store is enabled, you may want to start fresh and clear the extracted entity data. For example, if you have refined your data by normalizing the `user.name` or `host.name` fields, clearing the entity store data allows you to repopulate the entity store with the updated, normalized values. This action removes all previously extracted entity information, enabling new data extraction and analysis.
