Keep an eye on Elasticsearch connectivity for document work
A small scheduled cluster check can make connectivity status visible without requiring a manual dashboard visit.
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
When document work depends on a separate search cluster, a connection issue can go unnoticed until someone tries to retrieve records.
- Run a simple cluster ping on a recurring schedule.
- See a connectivity signal in the Notis run report.
- Reduce the need to remember manual cluster checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Describe the outcome: periodically ping the Elasticsearch cluster and report whether it responds for Affinda document workflow monitoring.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real run and confirm the report reflects the cluster response.
Questions about this workflow
Does this verify every Affinda document was indexed?
No. Ping Cluster checks whether the Elasticsearch cluster responds; it does not verify ingestion or individual documents.
Can I choose how often it runs?
Yes. Choose a recurring schedule when selecting the Notis cron trigger.
