local configuration

global configuration

The rate at which to delay the release of an event for some number of milliseconds. When an event is delayed, the generator is immediately elligible to create another event, regardless of any throttle settings. Throttling will trigger at the future point when the event is eventually released.

Examples​

Local configuration​

Use localConfigs to set delay locally for one generator.

{
    "generators": [
        {
            "table": "orders",
            "row": {
                "orderId": {
                    "_gen": "uuid"
                },
                "orderDate": {
                    "_gen": "dateToday"
                }
            },
            "localConfigs": {
                "delay": {
                    "rate": 0.4,
                    "ms": 250
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Global configuration​

Use globalConfigs to set delay globally for all generators.

{
    "generators": [
        {
            "table": "orders",
            "row": {
                "orderId": {
                    "_gen": "uuid"
                },
                "orderDate": {
                    "_gen": "dateToday"
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    "globalConfigs": {
        "delay": {
            "rate": 0.2,
            "ms": 500
        }
    }
}
