> Currently Message Age Alerting can be confiured such that the user might expect to see alerts about 'old' messages when they exceed the configured threshold.
> However, the alerting actually depends upon queue activity i.e. publication/consumption on the queue. Unfortunately, since on of the key purposes for the alerting is to make operate teams aware of a probable issue preventing message consumption this is not ideal i.e. if a publisher sends a message and then has no further activity and no consumer is connected, then no alerts are generated.
> We should implement a solution whereby alerting for message age is no longer tied to queue acivity (i.e. not triggered in this way) but is independent.
