Hi,  
The output from `/_node/stats/pipeline` has a section for events, and sections for each plugin. What do the stats in the events section represent? pipeline.events.duration\_in\_millis doesn't equal the sum of duration\_in\_millis for the filters plugins. Does it include those times, and add times for input and output plugins, and maybe system processing? Or does pipeline.events represent processing that is independent of the plugins?  
Thanks
