Daemon startup failed with exit code

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi everyone,

I am testing out esrally and running into the following issues while running java17 and testing 8.7.0:

[user ~]$ esrally race --distribution-version=8.7.0 --track=geonames

    ____        ____
   / __ \____ _/ / /_  __
  / /_/ / __ `/ / / / / /
 / _, _/ /_/ / / / /_/ /
/_/ |_|\__,_/_/_/\__, /
                /____/

[INFO] Race id is [c66f695f-1a84-4b23-bb57-a5c6ecf83693]

esrally.exceptions.LaunchError: Daemon startup failed with exit code [1]

I am running esrally version 2.10.0. I checked and made sure that the java version is compatible but still face this issue. Any tips would help!

Hello,

Have you checked in the log files in .rally/logs and ${HOME}/.rally/benchmarks/races/c66f695f-1a84-4b23-bb57-a5c6ecf83693/elasticsearch-0/logs/server ?

There should hopefully be something in the elasticsearch log that will give a clue why it was not able to start

Let me know how you get on

Gareth

Ah I had forgotten to set JAVA17_HOME env variable. Fixed now :slight_smile:
