Auth Deprecated

DEPRECATED. Legacy API for on-demand reindexing of old .siem-signals-* alert indices. Do not build new integrations; upgrade the Elastic Stack and rely on product-managed data lifecycle instead. WARNING: Migrations can be resource intensive and should be planned during a maintenance window.

Initiate a migration of detection alerts. Migrations are initiated per index. The process is not destructive and should not remove existing data, but it can consume significant cluster resources. Plan capacity accordingly.
