How can I configure the metrics store for my rally results ? The documentation says that we can use a separate ES cluster for this, where and how can I configure this ?

Thanks !

Hi @sharathr83,

you can use `esrally configure --advanced-config` as documented in the [reference docs](http://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/configuration.html#advanced-configuration). Note that the configuration routine will overwrite your existing configuration though so you might want to create a backup of `~/.rally/rally.ini` first.

No worries! It's a lot of documentation so it's not always easy to quickly find what you're looking for. 🙂
