Hi there, I've recently upgraded my docker container to 1.24.1, and noticed that in manage.py prunepings is missing. The docs still contain it as a way to perform database cleanup.

Has that changed? Thanks!

Just found this comment, which explains why it's missing. https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks/issues/556#issuecomment-948528834

I have a new question based on that; do I still need to vacuum the database or is that also automated within healthchecks?

I forgot to update the selfhosted docs when I was removing the prunepings management command – thanks for pointing that out, fixed now!

Healthchecks does not run db vacuum automatically.
