Description
-----------
When ``flush_timeout_ms`` is greater than ``0``, a worker thread checks for
idle batches and flushes them after the configured number of milliseconds.

When it is set to ``0``, the timer-based flush is disabled and batches are sent
only when they fill up or when the current action queue transaction ends.

Action usage
------------
.. _omazuredce.parameter.action.flush_timeout_ms-usage:

.. code-block:: rsyslog

   action(type="omazuredce" flush_timeout_ms="2000" ...)
