How is best way for data enrichment? I have events with IDs of employees in ES, and want change them on their surname. How do it best way? Should I do it in logstash?

Most helpful would be to change static lookup but I wasnt able to do it by script in ES 7, is this now possible?

[Enrich processor | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/enrich-processor.html) is probably what you want.

Can you elaborate more on what you mean here?

If it would be possible to for example create script which will do simple query for update static lookup table for selected field, it would be helpful. I can do it with simple `curl`, however is this possible in ES 8 to update static field lookup simple like that?
