How to configure the THESPIAN_BASE_IPADDR when encounter 'ActorAddr-(T|:1900) is not a valid ActorSystem admin'

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi
I am a new user of Esrally, currently I have created my custom track in order to benchmark the elastic cloud in azure

when I try the below command, the actor system can not be started

esrally race --track=percolator --target-hosts=$domainOfEsCloud --pipeline=benchmark-only --client-options="use_ssl:true,verify_certs:true,timeout:600,basic_auth_user:'$name',basic_auth_password:'$password'"

Error message:

My environment needs to set vpn to get access to github and es cloud resources, so I do the below settings according to direction in

  1. configuration
    export http_proxy=$my_proxy_address
    git config --global http.proxy $http_proxy

and I can run the command successfully ------- git clone GitHub - elastic/rally-tracks: Track specifications for the Elasticsearch benchmarking tool Rally

  1. for the issue 'nodename nor servname provided, or not known'
    I have configed in /etc/hosts as 127.0.0.1 my_hostname, but this method will lose efficiency when I open VPN (can only be used to do the local test)

  2. following the troubleshooting here, I can see another solution to set THESPIAN_BASE_IPADDR, can anyone help how can I set this variable and set to what ip address

Thanks

Thanks for your interest in Rally!

It seems to me that setting export THESPIAN_BASE_IPADDR=127.0.0.1 should work. Alternatively, consider using the offline mode: Offline Usage - Rally 2.8.0 documentation.
