elasticsearch.exceptions.UnsupportedProductError: The client noticed that the server is not a supported distribution of Elasticsearch

I have installed esrally 2.7.0 on my local mac machine in a separate python virtual env and trying to run sample race by connecting to sso protected elasticsearch cluster, but getting below error:

Command:
esrally race --track=geopoint --target-hosts=es-dev-1-:9200,es-dev-2-:9200,es-dev-3-*:9200 --pipeline=benchmark-only --client-options="use_ssl:true,verify_certs:false,basic_auth_user:,basic_auth_password:"

Error:
elasticsearch.exceptions.UnsupportedProductError: The client noticed that the server is not a supported distribution of Elasticsearch

Please help me here. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Rahul_Prajapati - thanks for your interest in Rally.

This error is returned because Rally's elasticsearch-py client couldn't verify that the target cluster is actually an Elasticsearch cluster (see Verify connection to Elasticsearch by sethmlarson · Pull Request #1623 · elastic/elasticsearch-py · GitHub).

I tried this locally and didn't have any issues benchmarking 7.6.1:

$ esrally --version
esrally 2.7.0

Cluster:

$ curl -k -u elastic:changeme https://localhost:9200
{
  "name" : "elasticsearch1",
  "cluster_name" : "docker-cluster",
  "cluster_uuid" : "s09wHgUlS26MyBi9fDk9XQ",

  },

That said, 7.6.1 has been End of Life for quite some time now, have you considered upgrading?

Hi @Bradley_Deam
Thanks for your quick response. Actually I am also able to connect to locally installed ES successfully. race for geopoit was success locally. Then I proceeded for remote ES where actually I want to perform load testing.

If I am providing correct ES host and credentials then I am not getting why Rally's elasticsearch-py client couldn't verify that the target cluster is actually an Elasticsearch cluster. Please suggest me if my command is not correct.

esrally race --track=geopoint --target-hosts=:9200,:9200,:9200 --pipeline=benchmark-only --client-options="use_ssl:true,verify_certs:false,basic_auth_user:,basic_auth_password:"

There shouldn't be any difference between Rally connecting to a local cluster vs a remote cluster in terms of verification.

Can you tell me more about this remote ES? Is this an AWS Managed Elasticsearch deployment?
