It still take some time to see telemetry data in azure portal after enable the developer mode

[imeya]

When I enable the developer mode using the following code:
TelemetryConfiguration.Active.TelemetryChannel.DeveloperMode = true;

As per document, the telemetry should be sent asap.
But it still take some time(like 1 or 2 minutes) then I can see the logs in azure portal, why?

DeveloperMode=true means SDK does not buffer items for sending, instead it is sent immediately to Application Insights backend. Data appears in Azure Portal in few minutes - 2-5 mins typically.

If your requirement is to see the data instantly in the portal, then LiveStream can help you.

@cijothomas thank you. Why it takes 2-5 mins to show on portal? does the portal do something else?

[cijothomas]

The time is for the backend to ingest/process/index/store the data.
