previous timeout doesn`t flush buffer

[meyju]

I have added the multiline codec to collect logmessages from an php application logfile with php stacktraces.

The last log event isn't send to logstash and with lc-admin I can see there a pending lines.
Only when a new message is written to the logfile the previous will be send.

My Config is like this (Files section):

    {
        "paths": [ "/srv/www/logs/php_server_error.log" ],
        "fields": { "type": "php_server_error" },
        "codec": {
             "name": "multiline",
             "pattern": "^[[][0-9]{1,2}?-[a-zA-Z]{3}?-[0-9]{4} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2} [a-zA-Z/]+?[]]",
             "negate": true,
             "what": "previous",
             "previous timeout": "30s"
        } 
    },

An example log linie is(some path's striped):

Ah I can see why. Sorry about that. I'll have a fix for you later today.

Thank you for the quick fix. It works correctly now.
