Hello all,

I have the following configuration file using async appenders. It works well 
but I have one issue. During low-volume activity on my site, it seems that 
nothing is output to the file, so it's hard to see what's going on. Same issue 
happens while developing. But as soon as enough activity occurs, then the logs 
are flushed to the file as expected. I suspect there is a buffer somewhere that 
only gets flushed when it's full, and so during low activity, that may take a 
while. Is there a way to control that so that flushing happens more often, 
wither by sizing the buffer to be smaller, or maybe some timeout value, i.e., 
flush at least once every 5s?
