Hi, I am new to rally and trying to run the benchmark for the existing cluster. I have 3 K8's nodes (1 master,2 worker) 192.168.105.116 192.168.105.117 192.168.105.118 I have created an Elasticsearch cluster on top of k8's cluster with 3 master and 5 data nodes. I am using the section (benchmark existing cluster) in the following link. [Tips and Tricks - Rally 2.7.1 documentation (esrally.readthedocs.io)](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/recipes.html) esrally race --track=pmc --target-hosts=192.168.105.116:9200,192.168.105.117:9200,192.168.105.118:9200 --pipeline=benchmark-only --client-options="use\_ssl:true,basic\_auth\_user:'elastic',basic\_auth\_password:'XXXXX',verify\_certs:false" while running the above command, I'm getting connection refused error.

Hi @Quentin_Pradet , I was able to figure out on how to use the exact rally command for Elasticsearch container from outside. ` esrally race --track=pmc --pipeline=benchmark-only --target-hosts=192.168.105.116:9200 --client-options="timeout:60,use_ssl:true,verify_certs:true,ca_certs:'/home/administrator/ca.crt',basic_auth_user:'elastic',basic_auth_password:'xxxxx` administrator@administrator:~$ curl --insecure [https://elastic:xxxxx@192.168.105.116:9200/](https://elastic:xxxxx@192.168.105.116:9200/) { "name" : "quickstart-es-master-0", "cluster\_name" : "quickstart", "cluster\_uuid" : "wmaV7NUORjCDIfmIRaE4rw", "version" : { "number" : "8.8.0", "build\_flavor" : "default", "build\_type" : "docker", "build\_hash" : "c01029875a091076ed42cdb3a41c10b1a9a5a20f", "build\_date" : "2023-05-23T17:16:07.179039820Z", "build\_snapshot" : false, "lucene\_version" : "9.6.0", "minimum\_wire\_compatibility\_version" : "7.17.0", "minimum\_index\_compatibility\_version" : "7.0.0" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" } Currently I am facing a different issue now with SSL Verification of esrally for [rally-tracks.elastic.co](http://rally-tracks.elastic.co)', can you please have a look at this post ( [Max retries exceeded with url: /pmc/documents.json.bz2 SSLCertVerificationError [SSL: CERTIFICATE\_VERIFY\_FAILED] - Elastic Stack / Elasticsearch - Discuss the Elastic Stack](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/max-retries-exceeded-with-url-pmc-documents-json-bz2-sslcertverificationerror-ssl-certificate-verify-failed/335708)) ---

I see that you've opened a new topic, so I'll answer there: [Max retries exceeded with url: /pmc/documents.json.bz2 SSLCertVerificationError [SSL: CERTIFICATE\_VERIFY\_FAILED]](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/max-retries-exceeded-with-url-pmc-documents-json-bz2-sslcertverificationerror-ssl-certificate-verify-failed/335708) ---
