Check Elasticsearch connectivity when an HTTP request arrives
Add a simple on-demand connectivity check by sending an HTTP request to start a Notis run.
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
When a search-dependent process appears stuck, it can take extra steps to confirm whether Elasticsearch is reachable.
- Run a connectivity ping when an external process requests one.
- Get a clear result in the selected run report channel.
- Check cluster reachability before investigating query behavior.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to ping the Elasticsearch cluster and report whether it responds.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one test HTTP request and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Does a successful ping prove that a search query will work?
No. A ping checks whether the cluster responds. It does not verify index access, mappings, or query results.
What starts this automation?
An HTTP request to the webhook starts it. The workflow then runs the Elasticsearch ping action and reports the result.
