Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
After a stream is flagged as "Offline" it never comes back up, even if the related host does recover.

Describe the solution you'd like
Hosts / Containers can have downtimes. For Streams with status "offline" NPM probably could automatically retry connection every 30 seconds or so (or users can configer retry interval).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently I manually disable and enable the stream, than it's shown as "Online" again and traffic is accepted. But if this doesn't happen in maintenance when I'm available, but in the night when I'm not available, this is a long downtime.

I don't know any alternative.

Research direction

The issue names streams and their Offline status but no files or tests. Start by tracing how stream status changes when a host is unavailable and how disabling and re-enabling a stream restores it; done means an offline stream retries automatically and returns online after its host recovers, with the retry interval behavior defined and covered by tests.
