Is it possible to restart the elastic agent (which is on the fleet server) from kibana?  
There is only an option to update, is there a way to restart elastic agents remotely? In case you have so many elastic agents, it will take time to restart these agents on each host.

Hi @bex, Unfortunately I don't believe it is possible to restart an agent from Kibana.
