Having 7.16.3 properly licensed with Platinum, I cannot run some (tried five) ML-rules from Security due to: ".siem-signals-default" missing.

I have Elastic Agent deployed with Security Endpoint activated and lots of data in logs-\*  
`An error occurred during rule execution: message: "windows_rare_metadata_user,v2_windows_rare_metadata_user missing" name: "Unusual Windows User Calling the Metadata Service" id: "0f1f529c-79e7-11ec-8cb2-a14d75db9d36" rule id: "df197323-72a8-46a9-a08e-3f5b04a4a97a" signals index: ".siem-signals-default"`

I would encourage you to open a Support request, as you're entitled to that with that license.

Trust me, I'm giving support a hard time with many of my newbie-questions.

Just evaluating if the forums are candidates for quicker answers for non-critical matters

Hey there @slash24! 👋

Sorry about the confusion here -- looks like that error message isn't helpful enough. Your signals index isn't actually missing, but rather one of the ML Jobs on that Rule isn't installed. In this case it looks like `missing` is added next to the job in question: `v2_windows_rare_metadata_user missing`.

To resolve, you can use the `ML Job Settings` UI to install the `v2_windows_rare_metadata_user` Job, or if you don't care about that Job and are just using `windows_rare_metadata_user`, you can clone the Rule and just remove the other Job by editing the Rule.

I've created [this issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/126723) for improving the error messaging here -- hope this helps! 🙂

Cheers!
