Understand the Elasticsearch fields behind device telemetry
See the mapping for a device-data index in a scheduled report and keep its structure easier to understand when you need it.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Index Schema
View the structure and field mappings of an index.
Why this helps
When field names or types are unfamiliar, it takes extra context switching to understand what a telemetry index can answer.
- Review the field names, types, and mappings of a specific index.
- Make it easier to understand what data a later search can use.
- Keep schema inspection in a recurring run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve and summarize the mapping for the Elasticsearch index that stores Adafruit IO telemetry.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and confirm the requested index exists.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow discover the right index automatically?
Get Index Schema retrieves the mapping of a specific index. You need to identify the index to inspect; use List Indices if you first need to see available indices.
Does reviewing the mapping confirm that the index has device records?
No. A mapping describes the index structure and field types. It does not confirm that documents are present or current.
