Trying Benchmarking an existing cluster.

Node (es cluster running in docker container) configuration:  
esrally version: **0.11.0**  
ES cluster version: **5.6.9**

Coordinator configuration:  
esrally version **0.11.0**

Started the Rally daemon on each machine.

Command used to start benchmarking:  
esrally --track=track\_name --pipeline=benchmark-only --target-hosts=http://username:pass@es\_cluster\_ip\_addr:9200 --distribution-version=5.6.9

The command above crashes with fatal error message **No compatible ActorSystem could be found**  
The goal is to run rally benchmarking successfully.  
Thank you.

Hi,

I assume that you are generating load from only one machine. If you use `benchmark-only` there is no need to start an actor system. Can you please stop any running actor systems with `esrallyd stop` and retry?

Cool. Stopping rally deamons solved the issue.  
Thank you.
