Hello,

I am trying to use Kibana Alerts and Actions with the built-in index connector (`xpack.actions.preconfiguredAlertHistoryEsIndex`), yet when I try to create a rule and an action there is no option to choose the index connector:

This screenshot was taken while attempting to create a rule in Elastic Security.

Debugging Kibana I found the offending part of the code: [kibana/constants.ts at master · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/x-pack/plugins/security_solution/common/constants.ts#L236). I can see that `.index` is not in the approved action types.

Does anyone know why is this and if it would be possible to change it?

Thanks
