Exporting a rule in Elastic Security always result in a file named rules\_export.ndjson

It would make much more sense to use the rule name as the title for the exported rule, is there any parameters to set this or it has to be a feature request?

Hi @michel.beaudry,

At the moment there are no parameters to set a desired export file name. I think it has to be a feature request.
