timestream-gen

Timeseries stream generators for timestream streams. Creates objectMode streams of records of data by time.

Generate geometric or random timeseries data. Useful for generating test or line data for timestream or other timeseries uses.

API

gen(options)

Generate a geometric stream of timeseries records.

Options:

• start (required): A millisecond timestamp for the first record
• until (required): A millsecond timestamp for the maximum possible timestamp in this series
• interval (required): A number of milliseconds to increment each record's timestamp by
• key: A name for the value at each record. Default gen
• initial: An initial value for the first record. Default 0
• increment: How much to increment the value by for each record. Default 1

one(timestamp [,record])

Generate a single record at a single point in time. Default record is {gen: 1}, accepts any type of record.

rand(options)

Generate stream of timeseries records with random values between 0 and 1 (Math.random).

Options:

• start (required): A millisecond timestamp for the first record
• until (required): A millsecond timestamp for the maximum possible timestamp in this series
• interval (required): A number of milliseconds to increment each record's timestamp by
• key: A name for the value at each record. Default rand
