    About this task

    Consider why you want to create a profile before you add CrowdStrike Falcon Insight capabilities to it. The following table lists the capabilities that you must add to a profile when you want the profile to perform certain queries or actions.

    You can create a single profile that runs queries for system details, lists logged-in users, fetches running services, fetches running processes, fetches network statistics, isolates the host, and removes the isolated host. Alternatively, you can create multiple profiles, each with its own single capability.
    Note:
    Isolate host, remove isolation, and get file capabilities can’t be merged with any other capabilities while creating a profile.
