I have opened a PR which, if merged, would allow you to actually ignore notices from select problem checks, together with another dashboard tab where you can see the status of all your checks and undo the ignore.
main ← Drenmi:feature/ignore-problem-checks
opened 08:38AM - 05 Apr 26 UTC
## Background
Currently you can "dismiss" problem checks on the dashboard, bu… t if the problem persists it will show up again on the next reload, which is confusing.
There was previously some discussion about adding a feature to "snooze" problem checks, but I think even with that it remains a bit too opaque. You'd need to spelunk around in the console to try and figure out what is going on.
## What is this change?
This PR does a couple of things:
### 1. Replace Dismiss with Ignore
Hitting ignore will prevent the problem check from creating new admin notices until it has been unignored from the new problem checks page.

### 2. Add a new problem check page
This page provides a list of problem checks with information on whether they are passing or failing, and when they were last run. You can also ignore or unignore (watch) problem checks from here.

### 3. Remove the problem check timestamp from the dashboard
This timestamp made sense under the previous model, where all checks were run at once and the results cached. With the new model, there's a mix of on-demand and scheduled checks, and having a single timestamp is misleading at best. In practice it's always going to be just the timestamp when you last loaded the dashboard.
