Hey, doing API POST Requests via Python (on MacOS) I did:
`elastic_client.update(index='.internal.alerts-security.alerts-default-000001',id='a9136c19ccfd95123cb2cf5697affbbdeb5a35c785ced06071f2777881aa33f7', body={"doc": {"kibana.alert.workflow_status": "acknowledged"}})`
and got the response:
`ObjectApiResponse({'_index': '.internal.alerts-security.alerts-default-000001', '_id': 'a9136c19ccfd95123cb2cf5697affbbdeb5a35c785ced06071f2777881aa33f7', '_version': 2, 'result': 'noop', '_shards': {'total': 0, 'successful': 0, 'failed': 0}, '_seq_no': 4585, '_primary_term': 1})`
But doing the exact same request on another machine (Ubuntu) I got:
```auto
raise HTTP_EXCEPTIONS.get(status_code, TransportError)(status_code, error_message, additional_info)
elasticsearch.exceptions.RequestError: RequestError(400, 'no handler found for uri [/.internal.alerts-security.alerts-default-000001/_doc/a9136c19ccfd95123cb2cf5697affbbdeb5a35c785ced06071f2777881aa33f7/_update] and method [POST]', 'no handler found for uri [/.internal.alerts-security.alerts-default-000001/_doc/a9136c19ccfd95123cb2cf5697affbbdeb5a35c785ced06071f2777881aa33f7/_update] and method [POST]')
>>> elastic_client.update(index='.internal.alerts-security.alerts-default-000001',id='a9136c19ccfd95123cb2cf5697affbbdeb5a35c785ced06071f2777881aa33f7', query={"doc": {"kibana.alert.workflow_status": "acknowledged"}})
```
doing the same on Postman (API tool) on MacOS I got the same error response:
```auto
http://10.24.1.5:9200/.internal.alerts-security.alerts-default-000001/_doc/a9136c19ccfd95123cb2cf5697affbbdeb5a35c785ced06071f2777881aa33f7/_update
{
"error": "no handler found for uri [/.internal.alerts-security.alerts-default-000001/_doc/a9136c19ccfd95123cb2cf5697affbbdeb5a35c785ced06071f2777881aa33f7/_update] and method [POST]"
}
```
It seems to only work on my local machines python instance.
Did I do something wrong?

What version of the stack?
What version of python and postman?

Oh sorry forgot that:
ELK is on 8.0
Postman version 8.12.4 (8.12.4)
Python on MacOS: 3.9.10
Python on Linux: 3.8.10

[Update API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update.html) document says the request be:
`POST //_update/<_id>`
Your url looks a bit different as:
`POST //_doc/<_id>/_update`
Try:
`/.internal.alerts-security.alerts-default-000001/_update/a9136c19ccfd95123cb2cf5697affbbdeb5a35c785ced06071f2777881aa33f7`

Yes that works thank you. But maybe the python command needs fixing then.
