Hello,
I had like to update the `logdate` column for all records in a specific index. From what I have read so far, it seems that it is not possible? I am correct?
Here's a sample of a document:
```
{
"_index": "logstash-01-2015",
"_type": "ufdb",
"_id": "AU__EvrALg15uxY1Wxf9",
"_score": 1,
"_source": {
"message": "2015-08-14 06:50:05 [31946] PASS level2 10.249.10.70 level2 ads http://ad.360yield.com/unpixel.... GET",
"@version": "1",
"@timestamp": "2015-09-24T11:17:57.389Z",
"type": "ufdb",
"file": "/usr/local/ufdbguard/logs/ufdbguardd.log",
"host": "PROXY-DEV",
"offset": "3983281700",
"logdate": "2015-08-14T04:50:05.000Z",
"status": "PASS",
"group": "level2",
"clientip": "10.249.10.70",
"category": "ads",
"url": "http://ad.360yield.com/unpixel....",
"method": "GET",
"tags": [
"_grokparsefailure"
]
}
}
```
