EPIC: Guaranteed Delivery for Audit Logs

[hilmarf]

Implement reliability mechanisms to guarantee that audit log events are never lost, even during system failures, network partitions, or high load scenarios, meeting compliance requirements for complete audit trails.

Goals:

• Implement persistent buffering and retry mechanisms

Acceptance Criteria:

• Configure persistent queuing in OTEL Collector with appropriate sizing
• Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
• Test failover and disaster recovery scenarios

Technical Considerations:

• Use OTEL Collector exporters with retry and persistent queue capabilities
• Monitor queue depths and delivery latency as SLIs
