Check that Elasticsearch is responding before search work piles up
A scheduled ping gives you a quick signal on whether the cluster is reachable for the document searches you use alongside Affinity.
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 a search cluster is unavailable, teams may not notice until a time-sensitive deal review or follow-up needs context.
- Get a recurring signal on cluster reachability.
- Notice connectivity problems before depending on search results.
- Keep the status check and its report in one place.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that pings the Elasticsearch cluster and summarizes its response.
- 3Pick the notis_cron trigger and set the recurring schedule.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does a successful ping prove every search will work?
No. Ping Cluster checks whether the cluster responds. It does not validate a particular index, query, or result set.
Can this workflow alert me through a report channel?
Yes. Choose where Notis should send run reports when creating the automation.
