Hi all, when storing esrally's results in elasticsearch, an index named **rally-results** is created. As I understand we should neglect the warmup period in our results. Are warmup events already out of scope by values in **rally-results** index and on terminal output of rally? Thanks, Andreas ---

Hi Andreas, the data in rally-results and also the command line report are based on the collected measurement samples and exclude warmup results. They are only stored in rally-metrics and are clearly marked as warmup samples (with the `sample-type` property). Daniel ---
