Sure, I will try. My understanding is that the `duration_in_millis` is the total time taken to process `events in|filtered|out`. 5000 / 9493 = 0.527 kEps or 527 events per second. `queue_push_duration_in_millis` is the accumulative time the input are waiting to push events into the queue. 824 / 5000 = 0.185 ms or 185 microseconds on average. A high value here indicates a form of back-pressure where the outputs are slower than the inputs. Your value seems low, indicating that the outputs are keeping pace with the input cadence. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/measuring-the-taking-time/113900)._
