gatus: service checks tolerate one failed run
The systemd unit checks alerted on failure-threshold 1, on the reasoning that the heartbeat window is the tolerance. That covers a MISSING push, but a unit caught mid-restart - a deploy, an upgrade, a backup stopping it - pushes an explicit false, and each of those paged and resolved ten minutes later. 2 means down on two consecutive 5-minute runs.

# Hence: push endpoints alert on the FIRST heartbeat failure. Pulled endpoints
|

# have no built-in tolerance, so the threshold is where it belongs for them.
|

|

# EXCEPT here, where the threshold is 2. The heartbeat only forgives a MISSING
|

# push. These checks also push an explicit `false` whenever a unit is caught
|

# mid-restart - a deploy, an unattended upgrade, a backup stopping the service
|

# for its dump - and at 1 every one of those pages, then resolves ten minutes
|

# later. 2 means "down on two consecutive 5-minute runs", i.e. 5-10 minutes.

# A host that stops reporting altogether still alarms on the heartbeat alone.
