Installed rally today to setup benchmarking test. but it fails with some kind of SSL certificate error. I do not have any security setup on my elasticsearch. but going out from this machine to internet need http proxy which I setup. here is the some part of the log 2019-05-17 19:37:49,340 -not-actor-/PID:14504 [esrally.utils.net](http://esrally.utils.net) INFO Connecting via proxy URL [[http://104.129.204.32:80](http://104.129.204.32:80)] to the Internet (picked up from the env variable [http\_proxy]). 2019-05-17 19:37:50,284 -not-actor-/PID:14504 esrally.rally INFO Detected a working Internet connection.

Hello @elasticforme, You didn't provide the exact Rally command, but I presume you didn't specify a pipeline. By default Rally will attempt to setup Elasticsearch for you but in your case you have an externally provisioned cluster so please refer to the documents for [pipelines](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pipelines.html?highlight=pipeline#pipelines). You'll need to use the pipeline `benchmark-only`: [https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pipelines.html?highlight=pipeline#benchmark-only](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pipelines.html?highlight=pipeline#benchmark-only) ---

This is command I used. I will go through this document and test the way it has describe. # esrally --distribution-version=7.0.1 --track=metricbeat --challenge=append-no-conflicts ---

Allright it is working. this is what I did. if someone else has same problem. Thank you @dliappis /root/.local/bin/esrally list tracks download.sh geoshape mv that to /root and untar it. # /root/.local/bin/esrally --pipeline=benchmark-only --target-hosts=localhost:9200 and it started working. then I downloaded other tracks as well. now I should be able to benchmark using different track as biggest track is geoshape. ---

@elasticforme your command looks good to me and specifying `distribution-version` will automatically set the right pipeline, so this is a different problem to what I was thinking. It works fine locally for me. Can you check the Elasticsearch logs? Assuming you've just executed the above rally command, logs are under `~/.rally/benchmarks/races//rally-node-0/logs/server/*.log` so you can use something like this to get the logs and paste here: `cat $(ls -td -- ~/.rally/benchmarks/races/* | head -n1)/rally-node-0/logs/server/rally-benchmark.log` ---

> [@elasticforme](#): > > Allright it is working. > this is what I did. if someone else has same problem. > ... > `# /root/.local/bin/esrally --pipeline=benchmark-only --target-hosts=localhost:9200` Ok glad to hear you have things working. Your earlier command `esrally --distribution-version=7.0.1 --track=metricbeat --challenge=append-no-conflicts` will attempt to download run Elasticsearch 7.0.1 by Rally itself (it will listen on port 39200). Using the latest command you provided it will assume an Elasticsearch is already running on `localhost:9200`. ---

Run few test on local system and on remote elk clusters. are there premade dashboard jason out there for it? I stumble upon this thread and it has lot of dashboard. but can't figure out how to configure it.
