[SOLVED] ReadEventsAsync EventHub Wont Stop

ReadEventsAsync EventHub Wont Stop

I am storing some application-generated messages in Azure Event Hub, which is being produced by a web app, I would like to retrieve these messages from Azure Event Hub in a Rest API call to show these in a web app.

Issue

When I try reading messages from Azure Event Hub using the following code

var messages = new List<MessagingModel>();

            string consumerGroup = EventHubConsumerClient.DefaultConsumerGroupName;

            await using (var consumerClient = new EventHubConsumerClient(consumerGroup, eventHubConnectionString, eventHubName))
            {
                await foreach (var partitionEvent in consumerClient.ReadEventsAsync())
                {
                    string json = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(partitionEvent.Data.Body.ToArray());
                    var message = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MessagingModel>(json);
                    Console.WriteLine(json);
                }

                await consumerClient.CloseAsync();
            }

            return messages;

control never comes out of for each, that is not what is desired, also I have observed when a new message is sent to Event Hub, the control comes back to process that message and then waits for the next message to come up.

I would like to just read the list of messages.
