List ClickHouse Databases

List all databases in the clickhouse instance. useful for discovering available databases before querying tables.

Why this helps

When databases multiply, locating the right data source can become another interruption before analysis begins.

  • See the databases returned by the instance in a regular report.
  • Reduce repeated manual discovery steps.
  • Use the inventory as a starting point for schema exploration.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ClickHouse once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to list available ClickHouse databases and summarize the results clearly.
  • 4Pick the recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real database list result.

Questions about this workflow

Does this report show tables too?

No. Use the list tables action for table inventories within databases.

Can it tell me which database contains a particular metric?

The database list alone may not provide that information. Supply the relevant context or use schema and query actions to investigate.
