Hello.

If I enable the indexing of audit log written in [the document](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/auditing.html#audit-index) , index name is created as ".security\_audit\_log-xxx" .

I am using tribe node so I would like to change the index name between clusters. How can I change the name?

I'm afraid it is not currently possible to configure the name of index that is used.
