The Delay Plugin may be used to cause the server to inject a delay of a specified duration for operations that match the associated criteria. It is primarily intended for testing purposes and is not recommended for use in production environments.
The Delay Plugin component inherits from the Plugin
The following components have a direct aggregation relation from Delay Plugins:
