Hi @cold, it seems you have a running Rally daemon, maybe from previous experiments? Can you please run `esrallyd stop` and retry? If that doesn't work then please reboot the machine just to be sure. Daniel ---

Hi @cold, you're welcome. Just FYI: The most likely cause why this has happened is that a previous benchmark was stuck (due to one reason or the other, hard to tell...). Rally has a built-in mitigation for this in that it terminates old Rally processes. This works fine usually but it seems this is still not a 100% solution. I'm glad that the immediate problem is now solved though. 🙂 Daniel ---
