## Summary I was utilizing Data Forge to create some fake data today, and the script continually crashed when I provided the `--payload-size` flag. After researching the script, I noted that we could include a parser for this flag to prevent the crash, the command worked with this change in place. ## Testing Example command: ```bash # failed for me on main, works on this branch NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=8192" node x-pack/scripts/data_forge.js \ --events-per-cycle 50 \ --lookback now-2d \ --dataset fake_stack \ --payload-size 5000 \ --concurrency 3 ```
