Provide FlushAsync in ServerTelemetryChannel

[cesarblum]

I'm not sure why that class doesn't expose a FlushAsync() method. Please explain if there's a rationale for that.

We've recently dealt with a customer issue where their service's performance was severely degraded due to calls to ServerTelemetryChannel.Flush() blocking their threads. Ideally they should be able to call an async method and not block when flushing.

Hi @cijothomas ,

do we need manual code for tracking the exception for application insights ?

client.TrackException(new Exception("Demo exception."));
client.TrackTrace("Demo application exiting.");

do we have any configuration to track the exception across the console application ?

This should be the API:

Task FlushAsync(CancellationToken);

You can await it, Wait it or cancel it.

For what it's worth, I faced this issue today and it made me decide to not use NLog in my project altogether.
