Check Elasticsearch connectivity on a schedule

Know whether your Elasticsearch cluster responds before you plan a staffing-data review around it.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Ping Cluster

Pings the cluster to check its connectivity and health.

Why this helps

A review can stall when the search cluster is unavailable and no one knows until they try to use it.

  • Check cluster response on a recurring schedule
  • Get a clear report if connectivity is unavailable
  • Separate cluster response from data completeness

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to ping the cluster and report whether it responds.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and confirm the report reflects your cluster's response.

Questions about this workflow

Does a successful ping mean my staffing data is complete?

No. A ping checks whether the cluster responds. It does not verify that 7shifts records are present or current.

Can this workflow query staffing records?

No. It only pings the cluster. Use a query action for searching indexed documents.

Can I run it before a review instead of on a schedule?

This package uses a recurring schedule. A webhook-started check can be created separately if an external system should request it.
