I use updateByQuery in kibana plugin, but get 404 not found Error, my code as below:

```auto
esAdmin.updateByQuery({
    index: 'logstash-0',
    conflicts: 'proceed',
    body: {
       query: {...},
       doc: {extension: 'png'}
    }
})
.then(resp => {
    console.log(resp);
})

```

Take a look at the Elasticsearch-js documentation on Update By Query: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/api-reference.html#api-updatebyquery](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/api-reference.html#api-updatebyquery)

It tells you that what you can enter for the `body` parameter can be found in the Elasticsearch documentation for Update By Query: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.x/docs-update-by-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.x/docs-update-by-query.html)

It doesn't look like your `doc` field is valid, according to the Elasticsearch documentation.

I would first try querying directly to ES, make sure it works, and then try to port the body of the query into JS code from there.
