Can response time be extracted from http module configuration of metricbeat which GET requests a particular endpoint.  
My config for http module is listed below:  
`- module: http`  
`metricsets: ["json"]`  
`period: 10s`  
`hosts: ["www.xyz.com:80"]`  
`namespace: "json_namespace"`  
`enabled: true`  
`#reponse.enabled: true`  
`method: "GET"`  
`#body: ""`  
`request.enabled: true`  
`response.enabled: true`  
`processes: ['.*']`

Hi @SakshamSaxena97 and welcome 🙂

Currently the metricbeat http module doesn't report the request time. Alternatively you can use [heartbeat](https://www.elastic.co/products/beats/heartbeat), that is intended to check the reachability of services, what [includes response times](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/exported-fields-http.html).
