I am looking at Application Insights data for a particular call I have made. The type is HTTP, and the duration is listed as 2.094 seconds. What can be said about this metric? Does the timing begin when the request has left my system, or does the timing factor in the creation of the request as well? I want to understand if it means my request message left my system and then it took 2.094 seconds to receive a response.

    Hi @Parham, Zachary A

    Welcome to Microsoft Q & A community Forum!

    I understand that you want to know how the duration of HTTP request measured in Application insights Telemetry. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    I am not sure if you have come across this SO https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63919640/how-is-the-duration-of-a-request-measured-in-application-insights-request-teleme
