Log failed commands in auditlog or syslog

We are increasingly working with applications that "talk" to the SVC (and FlashSystems). In case of problems, we try to find out which commands these applications used.
Commands that have failed are not logged, while this can be important information in finding the cause. 

For example, removing a non-existent vdisk (while application expects it to exist).

    If REST commands or other external applications are not being logged this is a defect. Please raise a case if you see this issue.

    We added logging failed CLI commands in 8.3.1.

    These are not viewable in the main audit log, but failed commands are sent via syslog:
