allow setting skipNetworkIdleEvent

Summary

This PR fixes/implements the following features

• Allow setting skipNetworkIdleEvent

Explain the motivation for making this change. What existing problem does the pull request solve?

By default, the value of skipNetworkIdleEvent is true. In the existing API we only have a way to explicitly set the value to true. This means we actually have no way to set this to false

Test plan (required)

Demonstrate the code is solid. Example: The exact commands you ran and their output.

I believe the change is simple enough to not require extra testing
