Could you use an external monitor so you can parse the json return data more cleanly than with REGEX? in python, that would be pretty simple:

from sys import stdout
resp = '''your json response string'''
if resp['elasticsearch']['status'] == 'green' and resp['is']['status'] == 'green' and resp['terracotta']['status'] == 'green':
    stdout.write('UP')
else:
    stdout.write('DOWN')
    
UP

You can find a full python external monitor sample here in the codeshare for RADIUS that you could modify to meet your needs.
