Check whether Elasticsearch is reachable
When a service needs a quick connection check, send a webhook and get the ping result in a run report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Ping Cluster
Pings the cluster to check its connectivity and health.
Why this helps
A suspected connection issue can cause wasted troubleshooting before anyone confirms whether Elasticsearch responds.
- Confirm connectivity before investigating a query or integration issue.
- Give the team a simple result to act on.
- Keep the check attached to the originating webhook request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and 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 Elasticsearch cluster and report the result.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real webhook request.
Questions about this workflow
Does a ping confirm that every index is healthy?
No. The ping action checks whether the Elasticsearch cluster responds; it does not inspect index-level health.
Can this run before a query?
This workflow only runs the ping action. Create a separate automation if you need an index query.
