Can anyone point out the documents for Query time and Request time shown on the Inspect page in Kibana Visualisation?

Best that I can come across is on discussion forum [What is Query Duration and Request Duration in Kibana?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/what-is-query-duration-and-request-duration-in-kibana/50553) way back in 2016.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you hover over the question mark icons, there is a more detailed description for each of these. For your benefit, here is the description in the product:

Query time: The time it took to process the query. Does not include the time to send the request or parse it in the browser.

Request time: The time of the request from the browser to Elasticsearch and back. Does not include the time the requested waited in the queue.
