Description

Currently to debug the execution time i need to login to mongo db to view the details. Can we expose some CLI or debug option to print the details?

MongoDB server version: 3.4.11

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing execution-history or debugging CLI entry points and reviewing the MongoDB execution record fields shown in the issue. Determine where timestamp details could be exposed without direct database access; done means users can retrieve those details through a documented CLI command or debug option.
