local configuration

global configuration

The minimum number of ms between how quickly a generator creates another event. Setting it under localConfigs controls the frequency for a single generator. Setting it under globalConfigs sets it for all generators. Preference is given to localConfigs when both are set.

Examples​

Local configuration​

Use localConfigs to set throttle locally for one generator.

{
    "generators": [
        {
            "table": "orders",
            "row": {
                "orderId": {
                    "_gen": "uuid"
                },
                "orderDate": {
                    "_gen": "dateToday"
                },
                "cost": {
                    "_gen": "normalDistribution",
                    "mean": 50,
                    "sd": 20
                }
            },
            "localConfigs": {
                "throttleMs": {
                    "_gen": "uniformDistribution",
                    "bounds": [
                        5,
                        200
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Global configuration​

Use globalConfigs to set throttle globally for all generators.

{
    "generators": [
        {
            "table": "orders",
            "row": {
                "orderId": {
                    "_gen": "uuid"
                },
                "orderDate": {
                    "_gen": "dateToday"
                },
                "cost": {
                    "_gen": "normalDistribution",
                    "mean": 50,
                    "sd": 20
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    "globalConfigs": {
        "throttleMs": {
            "_gen": "uniformDistribution",
            "bounds": [
                5,
                200
            ]
        }
    }
}
