Hi All,

I have a question related to the Ingest Pipeline stats that are part of the [node stats api](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cluster-nodes-stats.html).

The API returns the time it takes to process a doc for a given processor, but what isn't clear to me is does the time also include the duration it took for the document to check the processors `if` condition statement?

I wasn't able to really find anything about this topic, so asking here. I'd like to know as I've been experimenting with building some new ingest pipelines that use some potentially sub-optimal condition statements, and I'm wondering if I can rely on these stats for measuring this.
