Limit SA-Eventgen event amount generated

Hi Everyone,

I am using SA-Eventgen (eventgen-master) to simulate events, and its working great 🙂
The issue is that the eventgen generates so many events that my test environment was slowed down to an unusable speed..

Does anyone know how i can limit the amount of events generated by the app in total, i tried to fiddle around with the "interval" marker but with no success.

Thanks in advance,

I believe the parameter is timeMultiple. Example:

timeMultiple = 2

Per the documentation: "This will slow down the replay by a factor of 2 by multiplying all time between events by 2."
