Occasionally we have a trigger time out overnight due to network errors, and currently I'm not aware of a way to monitor triggers that have timed out.

It would be a great enhancement to be able to setup an alert that fires (e.g. email) when a trigger times out

Additionally, it would be useful to be able to define a trigger retry threshold beyond the current limits (maybe in mins, hours, etc).

Hi JRO, welcome to the forum!

We have the same issue here, but I have made my own solution to manage this.

I created a .NET application looping through all the (active) jobs and checking all the triggers.
I have a white list (text file) next to the application, so I know which triggers are allowed to be disabled.
When there is a trigger disabled which is not on the white list, the application writes info to the console and exit's the application with an errorlevel.
This application runs every 15 minutes in my case by Visualcron and if there is an error, the flow setting of the task will email an alert with the task output.

This might be the solution for you also till there is a way to handle this in Visualcron.

Regards,
Erik

As described in email this is already possible to do by creating a separate Job with a VisualCron Trigger.

Then add an Email Task for example. In the email you can include any of these Variables that might be interesting:
