Profile.next_nag_date tracks when the next hourly/daily reminder
should be sent. Normally, sendalerts sets this field when
a check goes down, and sendreports clears it out whenever
it is about to send a reminder but realizes all checks are up.
The problem: sendalerts can set next_nag_date to a non-null
value, but it does not clear it out when all checks are up.
This can result in a hourly/daily reminder being sent out
at the wrong time. Specific example, assuming hourly reminders:
13:00: Check A goes down. next_nag_date gets set to 14:00.
13:05: Check A goes up. next_nag_date remains set to 14:00.
13:55: Check B goes down. next_nag_date remains set to 14:00.
14:00: Healthchecks sends a hourly reminder, just 5 minutes
after Check B going down. It should have sent the reminder
at 13:55 + 1 hour = 14:55
The fix: sendalerts can now both set and clear the next_nag_date
field. The main changes are in Project.update_next_nag_dates()
and in Profile.update_next_nag_date(). With the fix:
13:00: Check A goes down. next_nag_date gets set to 14:00.
13:05: Check A goes up. next_nag_date gets set to null.
13:55: Check B goes down. next_nag_date gets set to 14:55.
14:55: Healthchecks sends a hourly reminder.
Not all email clients are formatting the `ping.body` contents uniformly. Even using different applications from the same email provider results in a different display of the `ping.body` contents. There are two basic issues:
* Not all email clients are honoring the fixed-width font that should be used inside `<pre>` tags. Using fixed-width font is listed in the definition on https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_pre.asp
* Not all email clients are displaying the text with a 1em line height. This was a recent change to the healthchecks WebUI in 9fd9c8e4ef but is not part of the definition of the `<pre>` tag. I'd like to add this to the emails to make Healthchecks more uniform between the website and the email notification.
Gmail Webmail:
- [x] Is using fixed-width font
- [ ] Line height is set by the webmail client to 18px
Gmail Android App:
- [ ] Text is not fixed-width
- [ ] Line height has extra padding
ProtonMail Webmail:
- [x] Is using fixed-width font
- [x] Line height is correct
ProtonMail Android:
- [ ] Text is not fixed width
- [ ] Line height has extra padding
The testing I performed is not extensive, but it does show how multiple clients are displaying the contents differently. To make the display of the `ping.body` more uniform I'd like to add a bit of formatting information to the `<pre>` tag.
