Hi,
I want to find out the average query response time. Say I ran a thousand queries, does ES provide any stats API to find the average response time of all the queries.
Using
\_node/stats API, I see I can get stats like below, but is that average response time if I do a calculation of query\_time\_in\_millis/query\_total? Can you please explain what's the difference between query and fetch stats that we get for search stats(as shown below)
search: {
open\_contexts: 0,
query\_total: 128150,
query\_time\_in\_millis: 19653,
query\_current: 0,
fetch\_total: 127903,
fetch\_time\_in\_millis: 8173,
fetch\_current: 0
}
