Use Data Generator to ingest lists

The Data Generator module can be used to generate some sample data to simulate input from external systems. This is helpful if you want to build a flow with a known message structure on the input side but without having access to that system right now.

Besides simulating single objects, you can also configure the Data Generator to output a set of data in the form of an array. Instead of generating one message object every x seconds, you create one array with a defined amount of records within the array following the provided JSON structure.

This is extremely helpful if you simulate large batches of data.

To do this, set the Output Strategy to ‘All Items As Array’ and specify the amount of samples as well as the JSON schema.
