Trouble configuring datastore

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am unable to use an existing elasticsearch cluster as a datastore. I am unable to find how to disable certificate verification for the datastore, thus the only way I can run rally is to use the in-memory datastore.

I can set verify_ssl False for the cluster that the tests are being run against. But unable to set the value for the datastore.

Error from Rally:

[ERROR] Cannot race. Error in race control (('Could not connect to your Elasticsearch metrics store. Please check that it is running on host [server0080] at port [9200] or fix the configuration in [/root/.rally/rally.ini].', None))

From rally logs:

This configuration works when datastore is in-memory... But unable to store results in elasticsearch cluster, due to unable to disable verify_certs for the datastore...

Hi,

you are looking for datastore.ssl.verification_mode which should be set to none in the case that you do not want to verify_certs. See the docs here for more information.

Thank you this solved my issue
