Ability to store and write data into the audit db after a short network issue

When the connection to the Audit DB is lost for a few minutes the created audit data during that time is not written into the db afterwards.
In case a RemoteLogServer is in place as a single point of logs the dispatcher who send the logs to the RemoteLogServerRLS do indeed cache those log messages. In case RemoteLogServerRLS is down they write that data to ..\logs\recovery\remote and once RemoteLogServerRLS is back online the log data is sent to the RemoteLogServerRLS.

This does not happen between RemoteLogServerRLS and Audit DB. As soon as the connection to Audit DB is lost no data is cached. Each and every report execution that happen while Audit DB is down is not written or cached or added afterwards, it is lost.
