Check Elasticsearch connectivity on a schedule
Let a scheduled ping give your team a simple, repeatable connectivity check.
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
A missed manual connectivity check can leave the team unsure whether a search problem is local or cluster-wide.
- Automates a repeatable cluster ping
- Makes connectivity checks easier to track in run reports
- Provides a simple signal when the cluster does not respond
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that pings the cluster and summarizes the check result without claiming broader health coverage.
- 3Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real run.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ping Cluster provide a full cluster health assessment?
No. It pings the cluster and checks whether it is running. It should not be presented as a full health or performance assessment.
Can I start the check from an external monitoring tool?
Yes. Use a webhook trigger if an external tool or custom backend should start the check by sending an HTTP request.
What does the run report include?
It can report the result returned by the ping action. It cannot diagnose causes that the action does not expose.
