Trying to configure APM Go Agent with a simple example:
**main.go**
```
package main
import (
"errors"
"log"
"github.com/joho/godotenv"
"go.elastic.co/apm"
)
func main() {
err := godotenv.Load()
if err != nil {
log.Println("Error loading .env file")
}
tx := apm.DefaultTracer.StartTransaction("GET /api/v1", "request")
tx.Result = "HTTP 2xx"
tx.Context.SetTag("region", "us-east-1")
defer tx.End()
e := apm.DefaultTracer.NewError(errors.New("error"))
e.Send()
}
```
**.dotenv**
```
ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URL=http://192.168.1.52:8200
ELASTIC_APM_SERVICE_NAME=go-apm-test
```
No requests, no logs. I have looked net packets with Wireshark. No packets with dst port 8200 on client machine

Hi Arsalan, thanks for trying out the Elastic APM Go agent!
The Go agent starts a background goroutine to send events to the APM Server. What's happening here is that your process is exiting before the goroutine has a chance to send them.
For testing purposes, Tracer has a method called Flush, which you can call to force any enqueued events to be flushed to the server. Tracer.Flush takes a single argument, a channel which will abort the flush (you can pass nil to wait until the flush completes, successfully or not.)
So just add this to the end of your main function:
```auto
apm.DefaultTracer.Flush(nil)
```
