What is the way to track rally progress? running rally without background it prints the progress information to the console but how to track the optput in case of nohup?
You need to skip the operation that deletes the index.
To find the name of that operation, apart from looking at the challenge itself, you should familiarize yourself with the info subcommand.
Then you can use e.g. esrally info --track-repository=eventdata --track=eventdata --challenge=bulk-update
Once you've identified the name of the operation that deletes the index, you can specify that together with exclude-tasks.
You are redirecting the output to >/dev/null so you are losing the contents, which otherwise, had you redirected to a file you might be able to reference (even though, the interactive progress would look messed in a text file).
Why do you run with nohup? Can't you run esrally within a screen or tmux session to ensure it stays running even after you disconnect and re-attach the session later?
