I want to set up a test bench for elasticsearch. The idea is to deploy elastic search on Azure and test the instance for Big Data handling capabilities of elastic search.

My question is, are there already such metrics that quantify the capabilities of elasticsearch in this regard?

ES rally performs a benchmarking for any version of ES. I want to run benchmarking on a cluster that I deployed to Azure. Any pointers as to how could I achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Look at this recipe in the [Rally docs](http://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/0.7.0/recipes.html#benchmarking-an-existing-cluster).

What a bummer, I guess I got lost in the docs so much that I totally skipped this. Thanks for pointing that out though! 🙂
