Hi @Thennarasu_Subramani,

For the following explanation I assume that you have created a custom track in ~/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/all-my-custom-tracks and your track is called my-track.

To just run this track - say against Elasticsearch 5.5.0 - on your local machine you'd need to run:

esrally --track-repository=all-my-custom-tracks --track=my-track --distribution-version=5.5.0

If you want to run it against a remote machine or a cluster of multiple machines, use the --target-hosts parameter. E.g.:

esrally --track-repository=all-my-custom-tracks --track=my-track --pipeline=benchmark-only --target-hosts:10.17.23.11:9200,10.17.23.12:9200

You can find a complete walk-through in the docs.

Hi @Thennarasu_Subramani,

unfortunately, the more we talk, the more I have the impression that we still talk past each other.

I was under the impression that you have already written your track but this does not seem to be the case.

So your first step is to write a track (I have repeatedly pointed you to the corresponding docs). Apart from creating a track.json, you need to prepare a file containing all the data that you want to bulk index. How you create this file is out of the scope of Rally. You can write it manually, you can write a generator, you can extract data with a script from an existing cluster. How you do it is totally up to you. But in the end, you should have a file that is compatible with Elasticsearch's bulk index format.

Let's have a look at how this file looks for the geopoint track (these are just the first few lines):

{"location" : [-0.1485188, 51.5250666]}
{"location" : [-0.1479949, 51.5252071]}
{"location" : [-0.1458559, 51.5289059]}
{"location" : [-0.1498551, 51.5282564]}
{"location" : [-0.1487043, 51.5254843]}

Put this stuff in ~/.rally/benchmarks/data/YOUR_TRACK_NAME_HERE/documents.json and create a track.json file in the right directory and reference your documents (please see how to do this in the docs).
