Hi, I am trying to run esrally in offline mode. I am successful in running the http\_logs or geonames tracks in offline mode. However, I am facing issue when running the elastic/security or elastic/logs tracks in offline mode. The command that I used to run elastic/security track: `esrally race --kill-running-processes --offline --pipeline benchmark-only --track=elastic/security --challenge security-indexing --target-hosts=192.168.105.116:9200 --client-options="use_ssl:true,verify_certs:true,ca_certs:'/home/administrator/ca.crt',basic_auth_user:'elastic',basic_auth_password:'xxxxx'"` I am receiving the below error: > [INFO] Race id is [2b29f580-d61c-4c25-8547-391a69c460e1] > [WARNING] Local changes in [/home/administrator/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/default] prevent tracks update from remote.

Please disable offline mode and retry. Can someone pls provide the guidance here. Hi @Quentin_Pradet, do you see any additional steps to be done here? this was the procedure followed to download elastic/security track > **[Offline Usage - Rally 2.12.0 documentation](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/offline.html)** # downloads the script from Github curl -O [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/rally-tracks/master/download.sh](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/rally-tracks/master/download.sh) chmod u+x download.sh # download all data for the elastic track ./download.sh elastic ---

Sorry, the `elastic/logs`, `elastic/security` and `elastic/endpoint` do not currently support offline mode. I'll update this issue when they do. ---

Thanks for the confirmation @Quentin_Pradet . Yes, I realised that those tracks are not working in offline mode. Hence started working on fixing my certificate issue of online mode. I was able to figure out the temporary workaround (also updated in [Max retries exceeded with url: /pmc/documents.json.bz2 SSLCertVerificationError [SSL: CERTIFICATE\_VERIFY\_FAILED] - #8 by Swathi\_Kakumanu](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/max-retries-exceeded-with-url-pmc-documents-json-bz2-sslcertverificationerror-ssl-certificate-verify-failed/335708/8)) for online mode. With that I am able to run security track in online mode. ---

Thanks for reporting your success, it's really appreciated! And sorry for the lack of offline mode support in elastic/logs, it's a bug we'll have to fix. ---
