Hi @willJackson,

I do not recommend that you edit the configuration file directly. The recommended way is to run the [advanced configuration routine in Rally](http://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/configuration.html#advanced-configuration) with `esrally configure --advanced-config`. Note that the configuration routine will overwrite your existing configuration file.

To tell Rally to use an Elasticsearch metrics cluster the configuration file should look as follows:

```auto
[reporting]
datastore.type = elasticsearch
datastore.host = YOUR_ES_HOST_NAME_OR_IP
datastore.port = YOUR_ES_PORT_NUMBER
datastore.secure = False
datastore.user =
datastore.password =

```

However, don't rely that this will stay forever as is. The safe and recommended way is to run the configuration routine as I've described above.

Daniel
