Hi!

Could someone please help me on this? The following aggregate:

```
aggregate {
    task_id => "%{postfix_queueid}"
    code => "
        if event.get('@timestamp')
            map['@timestamp'] = event.get('@timestamp')
        end
        map['postfix_to_list'] ||= []
        map['tags'] ||= []
        map['events'] ||= []
        if event.get('postfix_to')
            map['postfix_to_list'] << event.get('postfix_to')
        end
        map['events'] << event.to_hash
    "
    push_map_as_event_on_timeout => true
    timeout => 300
    inactivity_timeout => 15
    timeout_code => "
         event.set('postfix_to', event.get('postfix_to_list'))
    "
    timeout_tags => ['aggregated']
}

```

is throwing a " **ConfigurationError: Pipeline aborted due to error {:exception=\>#\<LogStash::ConfigurationError: Aggregate plugin: For task\_id pattern %{postfix\_queueid}, inactivity\_timeout must be lower than timeout\>,....... }**"

If I remove the inactivity\_timeout variable, it starts working again, and I can't understand what's wrong..

Thanks in advance!!
