Hi

I had run rally benchmarking for one search operation on existing index and got below results :

Kibana -

 ![07 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/6/86f0a422128178878b0daf3d404b8aa991508bbd.png)

I can see throughput around 2800 op/s but when i tried to overview elastic performance in kibana , i couldn't relate the graph with above results.

As i understand , Throuhput is number of operations handled per second by elastic. Is there any relation between search rate and Throuhput ?

You drove the system clearly into saturation. There is a huge difference between service time and latency which means there is a lot of waiting involved. For more details please see the [FAQ: What does latency and service\_time mean and how do they related to the took field that Elasticsearch returns?](http://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#what-does-latency-and-service-time-mean-and-how-do-they-related-to-the-took-field-that-elasticsearch-returns). I suggest that you lower the target throughput. For more background see the article [Relating Service Utilisation to Latency](https://robharrop.github.io/maths/performance/2016/02/20/service-latency-and-utilisation.html) which is a great read IMHO.

Secondly, Monitoring is showing you a different (more coarse-grained) granularity than Rally and it also cannot have a clue about the service time characteristics observed by a client as it can only observe server-side behavior. Contrary, Rally measures end-to-end service time as observed by a client (including time spent waiting in the search thread pool's queue and potential network delays).
