Option for flush on fatal message #20

Closed MartinDemberger closed 6 years ago

MartinDemberger commented 6 years ago

I'm using the mail sink to send critical errors. Most of the time the log-messages which describes why my application is killed aren't sent. I guess this is because the server process is killed before the periodic batch is sent. I think it might be a good idea to give a option like "send fatal messages immediately".

I had the same issue, and solved it by calling Log.CloseAndFlush() just before the process end.

Calling Log.CloseAndFlush() is the way to go, though there are some ongoing discussions on serilog/serilog regarding some kind of flush mechanism - thanks for the input!
