Hello,
You can use the "max_retries" option to tell the component to retry forever with "-1" as the argument. The PoCo will do it's best to keep retrying the connection.
I hope the author of the module can come here and post an authoritative answer regarding "no_connect_failures" and "connect_error" which will let you know when it disconnected. From what the docs say, it seems like setting them will disable the reconnect logic...
