Notis

Get a scheduled Elasticsearch connectivity check

A recurring ping provides a simple signal that Elasticsearch is responding, delivered without a manual check.

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 quiet connection issue can go unnoticed when nobody has a regular habit of checking whether the cluster responds.

  • Check cluster responsiveness at a chosen cadence.
  • Send the result to a shared reporting channel.
  • Reduce the need for someone to remember a manual ping.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to ping the cluster and report whether it responds.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and review the result.

Questions about this workflow

Does the ping provide a full health report?

No. It checks whether the cluster responds. It does not return a full cluster or index health analysis.

Can the report tell me whether documents match a query?

No. Use the Query Index action for returned documents and filters.
