DotNet Core Console App - Logging doesn't flush before program termination

[KClough]

I'm using this extension in my application, and the logs that appear in LogDNA are truncated.

I've attempted to dispose of the service provider as suggested here, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51326463/logging-in-net-core-console-application-not-working

But still not seeing complete logs. Is there a method that can be called to flush all of the logs before the app terminates?

Because this is just an implementation of ILogger and ILoggerFactory we're basically reliant on the hosting application to manage that.

The advice given in that StackOverflow article looks sound to me; I'm not sure why it might not work.

The only thing I can think of is to put an await Task.Delay(2000) for example in the code run when exiting. Bit hacky, but would do the job.

I did attempt to dispose of the service provider and also refactoring my service to utilize the console life cycle events provided by Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting. I still ran into the same issue, and I'd prefer not to put in an arbitrary wait.

Serilog offers a Log.CloseAndFlush(); method. I think this would be a great feature to add to this extension.
