Hi everyone,

I deployed scripts for various stacks in Logstash to perform the respective ETL processes and filters. However, when I later incorporated new calculations into the stack called "prueba," the updates only impacted new documents being generated and not the existing indexes.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to run a script in Dev Tools to completely update all my indexes.

Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards,  
Ricardo

Welcome!

How would the existing being updated if you are not reindexing?  
Could be a bit more explicit about what you are doing?

Also note that you might want to use [runtime fields](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/runtime.html).
