Hey guys,

I haven't been using the elastic stack for long, I'm still very much learning the ropes.

I use an elasticsearch+logstash+kibana configuration and filebeat for monitoring a server log. I want to add two fields to each entry in my index that represent the time it took for logstash to process the entry, respectively the time it took elasticsearch to index the entry.

I can't seem to find any reference on how to extract this data and put inside my exported entries.

Cheers!
