I am currently running the latest rally on an AWS EC2 Instance. I'm wondering if there exists a directory or log file which contains only the results of a recently run race. The reason I find this necessary is because I am currently piping the output of the results into a text file, then sending it to my email, but this method generates an extremely large text file (of many useless lines of information). Is there an output location that stores a benchmark result?

To be very specific:  
I require only the metrics store FINAL SCORE of my race.

Hi @khou,

you can use the parameters `--report-file` and `--report-format` for this purpose (see the [command line reference](http://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/command_line_reference.html#report-format)).

Note that Rally can also write all metrics directly to an [Elasticsearch metrics store](http://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/configuration.html#preparation).
