Pre-migration Queue Threshold Alert

Description: This would be useful to quickly identify issues with the VTS that can happen should it stop offloading to physical tape for any reason. Currently there is no alert, and the first symptom of trouble will come from long running jobs that can have disastrous results in a production environment. Anyone that uses virtual tape servers, that are attached to physical tape, would benefit from this. The idea is to have a series of alerts on the pre-migration queue threshold at certain intervals that can be set by the customer. Another alert would be for items in the queue longer than a certain amount of time. Both are described below:

 There would be an alert when you reach a certain percentage of licensed threshold. For example, a 3TB threshold, there would be an alert at 2TB, 2.5TB, and a warning at 3TB.

 The second alert would be defined by the customer if an item has been in queue for a set amount of times (set the hours threshold in minutes).
