Distributed traces data of a Message Listener

[Adane]

I have exported the distributed traces data of a message listener, but I am not sure I understand what data in certain columns mean.

1. What do the columns in yellow mean? Any link with detailed explanation?

2. What is the difference between responseTime and processingTime?

2. In some cases, the totalExecutionTime is less than the processing time? Does it make sense?

People think "single thread", however, request processing gets more complicated if the execution flow has to wait or multiple threads are involved and some of them continue asynchronously. There is a pretty good explanation of the service timing in the documentation. Reasons for the timings can be often seen the the code level tab or threads tab of the individual distributed trace.
