Check the cluster health,
curl -XGET 'http://elastic:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true'
Look for existing indexes,
curl 'elastic:9200/_cat/indices?v'
Check that there’s something, at least mappings, in the indexes,
TODO show mappings
Inject some indexes into Elastic,
curl -s -XPUT 'http://elastic:9200/indexname' -d @PUT_indexname.json
If you need to start from scratch on a deployment process for example, here’s how to wipe an index,
curl -XDELETE http://elastic:9200/indexname
