+#### Example configurations with `max_unmatched_batch_size`
+
+##### `max_unmatched_batch_size` set to `0`
+
+When `max_unmatched_batch_size` is set to `0` all logs entries will be combined into a single entry before the match occurs.
+
+Example configuration:
+
+```yaml
+- type: recombine
+  combine_field: body
+  is_first_entry: body == 'log1'
+  max_unmatched_batch_size: 0
+```
+
+Input log entries:
+
+```
+log2
+log3
+log4
+log1
+log5
+log6
+log7
+log1
+```
+
+Output log entries:
+
+```
+log2\nlog3\nlog4
+log1\nlog5\nlog6\nlog7
+log1
+```
+
+##### `max_unmatched_batch_size` set to `1`
+
+When `max_unmatched_batch_size` is set to `1` all logs entries will not be combined before the match occurs.
+
+Example configuration:
+
+```yaml
+- type: recombine
+  combine_field: body
+  is_first_entry: body == 'log1'
+  max_unmatched_batch_size: 1
+```
+
+Input log entries:
+
+```
+log2
+log3
+log4
+log1
+log5
+log6
+log7

+```
+
+Output log entries:
+
+```
+log2
+log3
+log4
+log1\nlog5\nlog6\nlog7
+log1
+```
+
+##### `max_unmatched_batch_size` set to `3`
+
+When `max_unmatched_batch_size` is set to `3` entries will be combined into 3-entry-packages until the match occurs.
+
+Example configuration with `is_first_entry`:
+
+```yaml
+- type: recombine
+  combine_field: body
+  is_first_entry: body == 'log1'
+  max_unmatched_batch_size: 3
+```
+
+Input log entries:
+
+```
+log2
+log3
+log4
+log5
+log1
+log6
+log7
+log1
+log8
+log1
+```
+
+Output log entries:
+
+```
+log2\nlog3\nlog4
+log5
+log1\nlog6\nlog7
+log1\nlog8
+log1
+```
+
+Example configuration with `is_last_entry`:
+
+```yaml
+- type: recombine
+  combine_field: body
+  is_last_entry: body == 'log1'
+  max_unmatched_batch_size: 3
+```
+
+Input log entries:
