What this PR does / why we need it:
The current implementation does not match the description of the
client.batch-wait
flag. Instead it only sends a batch if it has not received a log entry in the time being. I observed this as an issue with a really minimal scrape config, I would only get logs after a really long time (until the defaultbatchSize
was reached) because I just had one pod continually output write some lines.Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #280
