Check cluster connectivity before starting a search

Get a quick connectivity result when an external process is about to request search work.

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

People can waste time investigating a failed query before checking whether the cluster responds.

  • Run a lightweight ping when a search is about to start.
  • Make connectivity status visible in the run report.
  • Keep the check distinct from index or document validation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Elasticsearch once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation from the portal or any Notis channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to ping Elasticsearch and report the connectivity result for each request.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real request before relying on it in a search process.

Questions about this workflow

Does this perform the search after the ping?

No. Ping Cluster only checks connectivity. A separate automation can query an index.

Does a successful ping prove a specific index is healthy?

No. It verifies cluster connectivity, not index contents or query correctness.
