Start (resume) or pause the input connector.

The following values of the action argument are accepted: start and pause.

Input connectors can be in either the Running or Paused state. By default, connectors are initialized in the Running state when a pipeline is deployed. In this state, the connector actively fetches data from its configured data source and forwards it to the pipeline. If needed, a connector can be created in the Paused state by setting its paused property to true. When paused, the connector remains idle until reactivated using the start command. Conversely, a connector in the Running state can be paused at any time by issuing the pause command.

The current connector state can be retrieved via the GET /v0/pipelines/{pipeline_name}/stats endpoint.

Note that only if both the pipeline and the connector state is Running, is the input connector active.
