Hello @kannan.rpm, welcome to the community! 👋

If I understood you correctly, then your flow looks something like this:  
`Postman (request) -> Your Server -> Some other server -> Your Server -> Postman (response)`

And you want to know the time taken for  
`Your Server -> Some other server -> Your Server` using Postman.

I am afraid that won’t be possible, because this other server is unknown to Postman/beyond reach and only the time between sending the request to your server and receiving the response from your server is known.

If I misunderstood you, please let me know and I’ll try my best to help you out.

One option you could do is return the response time between servers in your response message back to Postman. So add it to the entity you are returning.

There’s no way Postman is going to be able to do what you are asking. You need to update your code to return the values you’re looking for.
