So I reindex one of my ".kibana" index to a new index called "kibana-detections" as shown below

```auto
POST _reindex
{
  "source": {
    "index": ".kibana",
    "query": {
      "bool": {
        "must": [],
        "filter": [
          {
            "match_all": {}
          },
          {
            "exists": {
              "field": "alert.name.keyword"
            }
          }
        ],
        "should": [],
        "must_not": []
      }
    }
  },
  "dest": {
    "index": "kibana-detections",
    "version_type": "external"
  }
}

```

So in my "kibana-detections" index, it currently stores the copied Rules that is in Elastic Security from the ".kibana" index. The problem is that now, when I add new Rules to Elastic Security, the Rules in "kibana-detections" index is not updated, only the non-updated/old data is reflected.  
The question is how do I update/refresh the "kibana-detections" index to have the data periodically update (ie. update every 5 mins) ? Do I have to keep deleting the old reindex-ed index and then reindex it again every single time a new Rule is added in Elastic Security?
