Notis

Get a scheduled Elasticsearch index inventory

See which indices are available in a short, scheduled review instead of checking manually.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

List Indices

Lists available Elasticsearch indices.

Why this helps

Index inventories are easy to forget until someone cannot find the data source they expected.

  • Creates a predictable checkpoint for index availability
  • Makes the current index list easier to review
  • Reduces repeated manual checks

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation that lists indices and summarizes the returned inventory for a lightweight review.
  • 3Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real run.

Questions about this workflow

Can the report show index health?

List Indices supports optional health filtering. The action does not provide a full health monitoring report, so keep the instruction within returned data.

Can it compare with the previous inventory?

Only if the previous inventory is supplied or otherwise available to the automation. The listed action returns the current indices and does not provide historical baselines.

Can it verify that Elasticsearch is reachable first?

This workflow uses List Indices. A separate workflow can use Ping Cluster to check connectivity.
