Delayer

Waits for a certain amount of time defined by a distribution of milliseconds ramp.

You define a list of key (milliseconds) / value (probability) pairs. Those are the probability of having a dalay below that “key” milliseconds.

Example:

With the above values, 5% of request will have no delay at all, a 20% will be between 0 and 50 ms of delay, there will be no requests with a dealay between 50 and 150 ms, and then there will be a 25% of requests with a delay between 150 and 300ms, and the rest of requests will have a delay between 300ms and 500ms.
