I must be missing something obvious. I turned on the node-stats telemetry for my benchmark test. Only process stats are turned on and I can change the log levels to DEBUG and see that the calls are being made during my test.

However, I have no idea where this data is actually going except for the rally logs. I don't see anything in the Rally docs for node-stats that discusses where the actual output is saved or how to view and compare it.

I apologize if I'm missing something super simple. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi @toddschilling,

Thanks for using Rally! If you haven't already, make sure you set up a dedicated metrics store ([doc](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/configuration.html#reporting)). You will then find captured node stats in the `rally-metrics-*` indices in documents where `"name"` is `"node-stats"`

Hope that helps  
Rick B

Thanks @RickBoyd. Ok that's super straightforward. I'm not surprised that the answer is right there in the top level docs. 😆

Thanks again!
