Description

If network data is not sent continuously onto a live traffic capturing interface it can be, that some flow information is stuck inside the suricata engine and will never be written into the logs, until other traffic is processed or suricata is shut down. This is due to the "laziness" of the cleanup procedures in suricata. By adding a "flush" command to the unix socket interface it should be possible to trigger the cleanup procedures manually.
