rally中的“比赛”是benchmark的执行。您可以为benchmark选择不同的基准测试场景（称为tracks）
首先列出可用的tracks：
esrally list tracks
这将显示如下条目：

前两列显示每个track的名称和描述。track还指定了一个或多个描述任务的challenges。
要开始比赛，您必须定义track和challenge。例如：
esrally --distribution-version=6.0.0 --track=geopoint --challenge=append-fast-with-conflicts
rally随后将开始在这条track上比赛。如果您以前从未启动过Rally，则发出以下输出：
dm@io:~ $ esrally --distribution-version=6.0.0 --track=geopoint --challenge=append-fast-with-conflicts

基准测试需要一段时间才能运行结束，因此请耐心等待。 比赛结束后，Rally将在命令行显示指标：

rally刚刚做了什么？？
- 它下载并启动了Elasticsearch 6.0.0
- 它下载了有关Geopoint轨迹的相关数据
- 它运行了实际的基准
- 最后它报告了结果 如果您对Rally运行的操作感到好奇，请检查geopoint的track信息或开始编写自己的track。您还可以将Rally配置为将所有数据样本存储在Elasticsearch中，以便可以使用Kibana分析结果。 最后，您可能需要更改Elasticsearch配置。
