Inspect an index schema when an HTTP request arrives

Request the mapping for a specific index and get its field structure in a run report.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get Index Schema

View the structure and field mappings of an index.

Why this helps

Understanding an index's fields and types can interrupt work when the mapping has to be found manually.

  • Retrieve the complete mapping for a specified index when needed.
  • Review field names, types, and mappings in a run report.
  • Use a webhook to start the inspection from an existing tool or backend.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the complete mapping for the index named in the incoming request; ensure the request supplies the index name.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Send one real test request and review the returned mapping.

Questions about this workflow

Does the webhook create or change an index mapping?

No. Get Index Schema retrieves the mapping for a specific index.

What should the request contain?

Include the name of an existing Elasticsearch index so Notis can retrieve its mapping.
