Real Time data flows don't start back up on Node restart
SA-30372
Summary
User have real time data flows configured (Designer Studio -> Decisioning -> Decisions -> Data Flows -> Real Time Processing). These data flows are used for processing events being sent to Stream Data sets in the application.
Whenever there is a node restart, we see these flows changed to "Failed" status and we need to manually restart them. This is not ideal, as these are part of always on logic for business application and this adds additional burden on the Admin team to check and restart the flow on each restart.
Error Messages

Steps to Reproduce
