Question about rootRulesFolder

[ryuseongryong]

Hello

I'm using elastalert2 in kubernetes for elasticsearch alerting free.
(Install helm on k8s as helm install cmd)

I have question about latest update rootRulesFolder.
rootRulesFolder is explained as the "folder must be located in the root of the chart directory."
Does it mean using elatstalert2 by recreate chart personally?
Or is there any other ideas?

Thank you

UPDATE: The following statements are incorrect per the comment below: "You should be able to specify an absolute directory for that value and the chart will attempt to find rule files within it. The "must be located in the root" I believe refers to the default relative directory 'rules', which has a couple of sample rules that ship with the chart."

@mehrdad-khojastefar, since you added this feature it would be good to hear your thoughts on what you expected individuals to do when they use the pre-bundled chart that is available on the official chart repository: https://jertel.github.io/elastalert2

Since we are using .Files object in the rules configMap we only have access to files in our chart folder.
There are some workarounds but personally I don't recommend them since this way is cleaner. More info on this topic

Personally I would recommend to write your rules inside rules folder in the pre-bundled chart, but you should be okay to place them anywhere else as long as it is in your chart folder.
