No Custom Events in Application Insights

Trying to create custom event in Application Insights but it doesn't show up on Azure Portal. All other events like requests, dependencies, exception are visible.

I have tried in dotnet core and can see following in debug log, but still no event in portal, even custom event table is empty:

Application Insights Telemetry: {"name":"Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Dev.<instrumentkey>.Event","time":"2019-12-05T19:16:34.1373921Z","iKey":"<instrument key>","tags":{"ai.application.ver":"1.0.0.0","ai.cloud.roleInstance":"<role>","ai.session.id":"<session>","ai.user.id":"<user>","ai.operation.id":"<operation>","ai.operation.parentId":"|<some ids>","ai.operation.name":"GET /auth/login","ai.location.ip":"::1","ai.internal.sdkVersion":"dotnetc:2.11.0-21474","ai.internal.nodeName":"<subscription>"},"data":{"baseType":"EventData","baseData":{"ver":2,"name":"SAML_Authentication_Initiated","properties":{"DeveloperMode":"true","AspNetCoreEnvironment":"Local"}}}}

Tried from javascript as well, can see following successful post request in browser console:

POST https://dc.services.visualstudio.com/v2/track

[{"time":"2019-12-05T19:00:21.781Z","iKey":"<instrumentkey>","name":"Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.<instrumentkey>.Event","tags":{"ai.user.id":"<user>","ai.session.id":"<session>","ai.device.id":"browser","ai.device.type":"Browser","ai.operation.name":"/public","ai.operation.id":"<operationid>","ai.internal.sdkVersion":"javascript:2.3.1"},"data":{"baseType":"EventData","baseData":{"ver":2,"name":"CustomEvent","properties":{},"measurements":{}}}}]

Response

{"itemsReceived":1,"itemsAccepted":1,"errors":[],"appId":"<application id>"}

Not sure how much time Azure needs to process custom event or should I create support ticket or something is wrong at my end.

Application insights usually takes 3-5 minutes before data begins appearing in the portal, see the Note section of this official doc.

If you worry about the data is missing, you can use Flush() method.

And if it always takes more than 5 minutes before data appearing in portal, you should consider opening a support ticket to get professional help.
