Application Insight does not send data without using Thread.Sleep

Question

I have a console application that runs through a web job scheduler after 15 minutes interval. But problem is that Application Insight Telemetry does not send data without using Thread.Sleep at the end of the code.

    private static void Main(string[] args)
    {
         Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.TelemetryConfiguration.Active.InstrumentationKey = "APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY";
        //do others stuff
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000);
   }

Here, I am using 10 sec for thread sleep. But sometimes it misses some data of the last portion. But, after giving 70 sec it working fine.

I want to know, what is the minimum sleep time where every data will be sent.

Or, there is any other way which does not need Thread.Sleep.

Are you doing any async or threaded calls inside of //do other stuff? If they're running in a different thread they're going to be terminated when the main console thread ends — Jesse Carter, Aug 25 '17 at 17:06
Without seeing a bit more of the code involved it's going to be hard to comment — Jesse Carter, Aug 25 '17 at 17:34
@Peter Bons is correct. This should be made the answer and accepted. — James Davis - MSFT, Aug 26 '17 at 02:12

What happens if you set DeveloperMode to true as outlined here? AI does not send telemetry items directly. If it does work in developer mode maybe you should call Flush as outlined here. Also, bear in mind it can take a few minutes before items appear in the portal
