Check Elasticsearch

Detailed instructions for the agent.

When to Use

  • Use this skill when you need to check some data in Elasticsearch. This is useful when a test ran but the expected outcome is different than the actual outcome. You can use this skill to check if the data in Elasticsearch is correct, if the index is healthy, or if the mapping is correct.

Instructions

  • Check with curl that Elasticsearch is running and accessible.
  • Consider by default that the cluster is running at http://localhost:9200 with the user elastic and the password changeme. If the user provided different connection details, use those instead.
  • You can check the status of an index with the _cat/indices API, the content of an index with the _search API, and the mapping of an index with the _mapping API.
