Examples​

Local configuration​

Use localConfigs to set maxEvents locally for one generator.

{
    "generators": [
        {
            "table": "orders",
            "row": {
                "orderId": {
                    "_gen": "uuid"
                },
                "orderDate": {
                    "_gen": "dateToday"
                },
                "cost": {
                    "_gen": "normalDistribution",
                    "mean": 50,
                    "sd": 20
                }
            },
            "localConfigs": {
                "maxEvents": 18000
            }
        }
    ]
}

Global configuration​

Use globalConfigs to set maxEvents globally for all generators.

{
    "generators": [
        {
            "table": "orders",
            "row": {
                "orderId": {
                    "_gen": "uuid"
                },
                "orderDate": {
                    "_gen": "dateToday"
                },
                "cost": {
                    "_gen": "normalDistribution",
                    "mean": 50,
                    "sd": 20
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    "globalConfigs": {
        "maxEvents": 200
    }
}
