[IDEA] Advance Alerting Plugin

[shanedewitt]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Advance Alerting plugin can pickup channel states of starting, started, stopping and stopped. Can you also make it pickup channel state of paused?

Describe your use case
I was unaware that a File Reader (SFTP) connector can enter a paused state when it can no longer retrieve files due to network issue. Adding this new alert state would help with troubleshooting and resolution of business processes.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add new channel state in alert to trigger when channel is paused or make File Reader resume when resource becomes available again.

Interesting, I have never seen a channel change states Started, Stopped, or Paused because of a network issue. Have you been able to recreate this?

It may have something to do with clustering. Here is the event log error, it references the channel that was paused.

Alerting doesn't work properly while clustered, I'm still waiting on a resolution for this 2+ years on: #5415
