Toggle On/Off

New event sources are enabled by default, but maelstrom provides a way to toggle event sources on and off. This can be used to pause cron or SQS pollers during maintenance windows, for example.

Toggling the status of an event source does not modify the event source itself, so the modified time and version of the event source does not change.

The current status of an event source is included in the mael es ls output.

Enabled status is cached in memory, so changes to event source status will not take effect immediately. The default cache interval is 1 minute for SQS and cron event sources and 1 second for HTTP event sources.
