Trying to run

```auto
esrally race --track=pmc --target-hosts= *******.kb.us-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9243 --p
ipeline=benchmark-only --client-options="timeout:60,use_ssl:true,verify_certs:true,basic_auth_user:'elastic',basic
_auth_password:' **********'"

```

Verified password and end points are correct, able to access it using browser.  
Not much info in logs.

Hi @sadhana.durge,

It's a bit confusing but this part of the log is the stacktrace from the shutdown process. Can you scroll further back, looking for the part of the code that is returning a NotFoundError/404?

Thanks,  
Rick B

Actually! You are pointing to the Kibana instance. You'll need the ES instance from your Elastic Cloud endpoint, it is usually the same endpoint as Kibana but with `.es.` instead of `.kb.`

Hope that helps,
