+
+Time Waiting for Shards Logged in ``remoteOpWaitMillis`` Field
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionadded:: 4.2.10
+
+Starting in MongoDB 4.2.10, you can use the ``remoteOpWaitMillis`` log
+field to obtain the wait time (in milliseconds) for results from
+:term:`shards <shard>`.
+
+``remoteOpWaitMillis`` is only logged:
+
+- If you configure :ref:`slow operations logging
+  <log-message-slow-ops>`.
+
+- On the :term:`shard` or :binary:`~bin.mongos` that merges the results.
+
+To determine if a merge operation or a shard issue is causing a slow
+query, compare the ``durationMillis`` and ``remoteOpWaitMillis`` time
+fields in the log. ``durationMillis`` is the total time the query took
+to complete. Specifically:
+
+- If ``durationMillis`` is slightly longer than ``remoteOpWaitMillis``,
+  then most of the time was spent waiting for a shard response. For
+  example, ``durationMillis`` of 17 and ``remoteOpWaitMillis`` of 15.
+
+- If ``durationMillis`` is significantly longer than
+  ``remoteOpWaitMillis``, then most of the time was spent performing the
+  merge. For example, ``durationMillis`` of 100 and
+  ``remoteOpWaitMillis`` of 15.
