I think it would be very valuable to include a directory that loads the prebuilt SIEM rules\_export.ndjson file in the filebeat configuration. This way if we need to change the default indicies we could modify the json as needed. Thoughts on this?

I don't understand what you are getting at, but anyhow. You should go and create a `Enhancement Request` in github.

- [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues?q=label:Filebeat](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues?q=label:Filebeat)

Make sure you add `[Filebeat]` so it is label correctly.

I also don't understand what ur asking for. The built-in siem rules have nothing to do with filebeat. The built in rules are compiled into the elasticsearch release, not filebeat.
