@Utkarsh17 Hello! Thank you for using Rally. It looks like there could possibly be processes leftover from another Rally run on your system. Can you try executing Rally with [--kill-running-processes](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/command_line_reference.html#kill-running-processes)? The [--test-mode](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/command_line_reference.html#test-mode) flag also can be used for fast iteration and troubleshooting. If you have further questions, could you please include the full rally.log? ---
