Error when running race

Hank.S · July 8, 2024, 8:17am

I'm new to rally and want to test my elastic cluster's performance.
I have a 3-node elastic cluster set in docker.
I'm in China mainland, so it could be a network issue.

I installed esrally in a virtual venv of python3.8.

esrally race --track geonames --target-hosts 127.0.0.1:9200 --pipeline=benchmark-only is working great.
esrally race --track elastic/logs --target-hosts 127.0.0.1:9200 --pipeline=benchmark-only exited with error

(venv) [sxing@archlinux ~]$ esrally race --track elastic/logs --target-hosts 127.0.0.1:9200 --pipeline=benchmark-only

Hello!

Rally uses various branches of repos such as rally-tracks for ensuring that the tracks are compatible with the version of Elasticsearch that is being tested.

You seem to be running a version of elasticsearch around 7.2, so rally is trying to use the 7.2 branch of rally-tracks. Elastic/logs doesn't exist in the 7.2 branch.

We can see this from

2024-07-08 08:11:47,314 ActorAddr-(T|:38205)/PID:93655 esrally.utils.process INFO Already on '7.2'
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/7.2'.

If you were actually wanting to be running a much later version of Elasticsearch, then take a look at the configuration of your docker environment to find why an older image is being used

If however you want to be running against a v7.2 (or there abouts) version of Elasticsearch, then you could try checking out master (ie go into /home/sxing/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/default and do git checkout master and doing something like --track-path /home/sxing/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/default/elastic/logs . Note though some features of the track may be incompatible with Elasticsearch 7.2
