Dashboards & Visualizations

Is it possible to get the time it took to search from a SearchManager?

I'm coding some custom dashboards and I have javascript code:

var searchMan = new SearchManager({
    "id": "search",
    "search": mvc.tokenSafe('*'),
    "earliest_time": "-10m@m", 
    "latest_time": "now",
    "preview": true,
    "cache": false,
    "autostart": false
});

var res = searchMan.data("results");
res.on("data", function() {
    console.log(res.data());
});

How do I fetch the time it took Splunk to search from res?

Any help appreciated, thanks!

searchManager.on('search:done', function(properties) {
     var duration = properties.content.runDuration;
     // ...

It should be printed to search.log (and accessible from "Job-Inspector" in the UI ) ... possible inside one of the log files .. for sure in the information under $SPLUNK_INSTALL/var/run/splunk/dispatch/
