A {dfeed} that is stopped ceases to retrieve data from {es}.
A {dfeed} can be started and stopped multiple times throughout its lifecycle.

You can stop multiple {dfeeds} in a single API request by using a
comma-separated list of {dfeeds} or a wildcard expression. You can close all
{dfeeds} by using `_all` or by specifying `*` as the `<feed_id>`.
