Description
Judging from the left side of the picture, these log messages are not sent together, **sent line by line**

#### configuration information
```
docker run -d --name="logspout" --volume=/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
--volume=/etc/hostname:/etc/host_hostname:ro -p 8000:80 \
-e MULTILINE_PATTERN='^\[\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}' \
-e LOGSPOUT=ignore \
-e MULTILINE_MATCH=first \
