Inspect an Elasticsearch schema from a webhook request
Send an index identifier to the workflow and get its mapping explained in plain language.
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 unfamiliar index mapping can slow down analysis and make field assumptions risky.
- Makes field names and types easier to understand
- Helps reduce unsupported assumptions in downstream analysis
- Starts inspection from an existing internal tool or custom backend
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that retrieves the mapping for the index identifier provided in the request and explains the returned fields.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger and use the generated endpoint in the external tool that will send requests.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real request containing an index identifier.
Questions about this workflow
What must the webhook request provide?
It should provide the specific Elasticsearch index whose mapping should be retrieved.
Does this workflow change the mapping?
No. Get Index Schema retrieves the schema and mapping for an index.
Can it document fields not present in the mapping?
It should not infer undocumented fields. The summary can explain returned field names and types and call out what the mapping does not show.
