Can someone give me an idea about fields under the index _introspection? How can we calculate run time of process from elapsed time and memory usage of each process?

I am particularly interested in the fields data.elapsed and data.mem_used under introspection. Can we calculate runtime and memory usage from these values?

You can use following links to know more about what is getting logged in index=_introspection.

Based on description on 2nd link, data.elapsed is the run time and mem.used is memory (physical) usage.

Thank you. Can we check with the search_id from _introspection under _audit to find the corresponding events?
