Store&Forward functionality causes Influx data to be out of sync [4020634]

OptixPanel projects may be configured with data/event loggers, store&forward enabled, and Influx internal and/or external datastore that have a large number data points. For such projects, Alarm Events from a controller, Audit Events, and 200 float variables with a 100 millisecond change interval in the datalog may cause Influx data to be out of sync or a crash due to an OptixPanel having lower memory and CPU.
Consider using a higher performance device or decrease resources consumed by the application. For example, reduce the logging interval.
