Hi Team,

I am setting up esrally on k8s. To do that I have created k8s deployment file with the below details. but when I am getting an error. Error logs below & deployment file used.

## Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/local/bin/esrally", line 8, in

sys.exit(main())

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/esrally/rally.py", line 912, in main

console.init(quiet=args.quiet)

AttributeError: 'Namespace' object has no attribute 'quiet'

## esrally.yml

apiVersion: apps/v1  
kind: Deployment  
metadata:  
name: esrally  
spec:  
replicas: 1

Hi @purushothamkdr143, thanks for your question.

I think this is because no arguments are passed to the esrally binary.

If you take Kubernetes out of the picture and just run the below you get the same error:

```auto
$ docker run elastic/rally:latest
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/esrally", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/esrally/rally.py", line 910, in main
    console.init(quiet=args.quiet)
AttributeError: 'Namespace' object has no attribute 'quiet'

```

Try passing in some arguments, like `list tracks` below.

```auto
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: esrally
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: esrally
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: esrally
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: esrally
        image: elastic/rally:latest
        args: ["list", "tracks"]

```

You can refer to the [docs](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/docker.html) too.
