 Units augment measurement values by giving meaning to what otherwise might be abstract numbers. Adding units also allows Sentry to offer controls - unit conversions, filters, and so on - based on those units. For values that are unitless, you can supply an empty string or `none`.

+## Automatic Queue Time Capture
+
+The Ruby SDK automatically captures queue time for Rack-based applications when the `X-Request-Start` header is present. This measures how long requests wait in the web server queue (e.g., waiting for a Puma thread) before your application begins processing them.
+
+Queue time is attached to transactions as `http.server.request.time_in_queue` and helps identify server capacity issues.
+
+### Setup
+
+Configure your reverse proxy to add the `X-Request-Start` header:
+
+**Nginx:**
+
+```nginx
+location / {
+  proxy_pass http://your-app;
+  proxy_set_header X-Request-Start "t=${msec}";
+}
+```
+
+**HAProxy:**
+
+```haproxy
+frontend http-in
+  http-request set-header X-Request-Start t=%Ts%ms
+```
+
+**Heroku:** The header is automatically set by Heroku's router.
+
+### How It Works
+
+The SDK:
+
+1. Reads the `X-Request-Start` header timestamp from your reverse proxy
+2. Calculates the time difference between the header timestamp and when the request reaches your application
+3. Subtracts `puma.request_body_wait` (if present) to exclude time spent waiting for slow client uploads
+4. Attaches the result as `http.server.request.time_in_queue` to the transaction
+
+### Disable Queue Time Capture
+
+If you don't want queue time captured, disable it in your configuration:
+
+```ruby
+Sentry.init do |config|
+  config.capture_queue_time = false
+end
+```
+
+### Viewing Queue Time
+
+Queue time appears in the Sentry transaction details under the "Data" section as `http.server.request.time_in_queue` (measured in milliseconds).
