What is the difference between Response time vs total process time in Dynatrace Managed?

[svatte]

Hi,

In distributed traces I noticed response time and total process time. In some cases I noticed different numbers.

What is the difference between response time and total process time?

Thanks,

This stems from asynchronity. A request can have async execution flows, possibly in parallel, possibly still running after response has already been sent. The time of async execution flows is added to the total processing time, but not to the response time.

Hi Christoph ,

Is there a way to make the response time be the total processing time, or be able to view the total processing time when doing graphs, etc?
