<script type="text/html" data-help-name="delay">
|
|
<p>Delays each message passing through the node or limits the rate at which they can pass.</p>
|
|
<h3>Inputs</h3>
|
|
<dl class="message-properties">
|
|
<dt class="optional">delay <span class="property-type">number</span></dt>
|
|
<dd>Sets the delay, in milliseconds, to be applied to the message. This
|
|
option only applies if the node is configured to allow the message to
|
|
override the configured default delay interval.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="optional">rate <span class="property-type">number</span></dt>
|
|
<dd>Sets the rate value in milliseconds between messages.
|
|
This node overwrites the existing rate value defined in the node configuration
|
|
when it receives the message which contains <code>msg.rate</code> value in milliSeconds.
|
|
This option only applies if the node is configured to allow the message to
|
|
override the configured default rate interval.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="optional">reset</dt>
|
|
<dd>If the received message has this property set to any value, all
|
|
outstanding messages held by the node are cleared without being sent.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="optional">flush</dt>
|
|
<dd>If the received message has this property set to a numeric value then that many messages
|
|
will be released immediately. If set to any other type (e.g. boolean), then all
|
|
outstanding messages held by the node are sent immediately.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="optional">toFront</dt>
|
|
<dd>When in rate limit mode, if the received message has this property set to boolean <code>true</code>,
|
|
then the message is pushed to the front of the queue and will be released next.
|
|
This can be used in combination with <code>msg.flush=1</code> to resend immediately.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<h3>Details</h3>
|
|
<p>When configured to delay messages, the delay interval can be a fixed value,
|
|
a random value within a range or dynamically set for each message.
|
|
Each message is delayed independently of any other message, based on
|
|
the time of its arrival.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>When configured to rate limit messages, their delivery is spread across
|
|
the configured time period. The status shows the number of messages currently in the queue.
|
|
It can optionally discard intermediate messages as they arrive.</p>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p> If set to allow override of the rate, the new rate will be applied immediately,
|
|
and will remain in effect until changed again, the node is reset, or the flow is restarted.</p>
|
|
<p>The rate limiting can be applied to all messages, or group them according to
|
|
their <code>msg.topic</code> value. When grouping, intermediate messages are
|
|
automatically dropped. At each time interval, the node can either release
|
|
the most recent message for all topics, or release the most recent message
|
|
for the next topic.
