Request a staffing index inventory when needed
Ask for an on-demand list of matching Elasticsearch indices instead of hunting through cluster names manually.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Indices
Lists available Elasticsearch indices.
Why this helps
Finding the right index can interrupt the work you intended to do with the data.
- Request an inventory when a review needs it
- Use a supplied pattern to narrow the listing
- See whether an expected index appears in the results
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Elasticsearch once and determine the index pattern used for your staffing data.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list indices matching the supplied pattern and summarize what is available.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sending one real request with a pattern used by your cluster.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from a scheduled index check?
An external HTTP request starts this inventory when needed; it does not run on a recurring schedule.
Does the inventory show the documents inside each index?
No. It lists indices. Use a query action to inspect matching documents.
What if I do not know the index pattern?
You can request a broader listing if appropriate for your cluster, but provide actual naming details when you need the result narrowed.
