How to restart a run status sensor without triggering on historical runs?

[dagsir[bot]]

Hi folks, I'm using https://docs.dagster.io/_apidocs/libraries/dagster-slack#dagster_slack.make_slack_on_run_failure_sensor|make_slack_on_run_failure_sensor, which is super useful but if I disable it via the UI for a long period of time, then when I re-enable it it will fire alerts for all of the job failures that happened while it was disabled. I'd prefer that it didn't "catch up" when I turn the sensor back on. Is there a way to change this behavior?

The question was originally asked in Dagster Slack.

Hi, this isn't currently possible but will be soon: https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/pull/18348/files

I will stack on that PR to add a param to make_slack_on_run_failure_sensor that will cause it to fire only for runs that terminated after the sensor started.
