Client performs a direct request to the Elasticsearch /_cat/indices endpoint and retrieves a successful response without preceding generic web discovery or multi-protocol probing. This behavior indicates targeted Elasticsearch reconnaissance focused on enumerating available indices, document counts, and storage size to assess data exposure. Unlike broad internet scanners, the interaction is Elasticsearch-aware from the start, suggesting tooling or operators specifically searching for open clusters rather than conducting general service fingerprinting.

Identifies HTTP requests targeting the web server root path ("/"), typically used for initial service discovery, host validation, or baseline content inspection prior to deeper enumeration.
