Faults

This can be used for testing the resilience of your services by intentionally injecting faults (errors and delays) into a percentage of your requests.

Abort specifies the percentage of request to error out.

• percentage : (default: 0) float value between 0.0 - 100.0
• httpStatus : (default: 0) int value for HTTP Status to return, e.g., 503

Delay specifies the percentage of requests to delay.

• percentage : (default: 0) float value between 0.0 - 100.0
• fixedDelay : (default: 0) Duration value for how long to delay selected requests
