Why this helps
People lose time asking around or reopening cluster tools to confirm which fields an index contains.
- Make field and type details easier for a team to find.
- Refresh the reference on a predictable cadence.
- Reduce repeated schema lookups during query work.
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, name the index and ask Notis to retrieve and summarize its mapping.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example for an existing index.
Questions about this workflow
Does this detect changes from the previous schema?
The action retrieves the current mapping. To identify changes, provide a prior mapping or other comparison context.
Can I request more than one index?
The schema action is for a specific index. Create separate automations for separate indices if needed.
