The delayer tool delays all incoming values by a fixed or variable time before the value is sent at the output.
Configuration
Delay
In the configuration, enter the delay time.
Possible time units include:
-
Milliseconds (it is recommendable to not to use too small values here.
The smaller the value, the more inaccurate the actual delay) -
Seconds
-
Minutes
-
Hours
-
Days
Delay Type
-
Fixed Delay
Equals the delay time -
Random Delay
On every incoming value, a random delay between 0 and the delay time will be calculated.
In order to avoid queues including too many events, the number of parallel delayed values is limited to five.
Thus, the tool does not accept any incoming values as long as five values are already delayed.
