Verify Node Readiness Before Upgrade Work Begins
Don't start upgrades on unhealthy nodes. Check node readiness automatically when upgrade tasks are created.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Get Node Health
Tool to get the health status of the node. use when you need to check if the node is ready, syncing, or in an error state.
Why this helps
Upgrade tasks are created but node health isn't checked first, so you start upgrade work on potentially unhealthy infrastructure.
- Start upgrades from known-good state
- Separate upgrade issues from infrastructure problems
- Evidence for rollback decisions
- Prevent cascading failures from unhealthy nodes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Beaconchain to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Create automation: 'When an upgrade issue is created, check if the validator node is ready for upgrade.'
- 3Select the trigger: Issue Created in Linear (filter for 'upgrade' label or keyword).
- 4Choose your notification channel to receive readiness status with new upgrade tasks.
- 5Test by creating an upgrade task and verifying health data arrives.
Questions about this workflow
What health metrics indicate readiness for upgrade?
Notis will show current health status. Generally, healthy, stable nodes are good for upgrades. If health is degraded, postpone the upgrade.
Should I automatically cancel unhealthy upgrades?
Notis alerts you to health status; you decide. You might postpone, investigate root cause, or accept the risk. Final judgment stays with you.
What if health improves before I start the actual upgrade?
The automation runs when the task is created, giving you a baseline. You can update the task later if health changes significantly.
