Ship the documentation set the in-app docs index references
The in-app docs index listed 41 documents while only 9 were shipped, so anything a self-hosted operator reached under /docs/ that was not one of those 9 returned 404. Copy the 39 reachable documents from docs/ into frontend-modern/public/docs so the set the index describes is actually present offline, which is the point of shipping docs with a self-hosted product rather than linking GitHub. Deliberately not shipped: docs/release-control/v6/internal/ RELEASE_PROMOTION_POLICY.md and docs/releases/V6_PRERELEASE_RUNBOOK.md, which are internal release governance rather than operator documentation. Every shipped file was checked for GitHub blob/main links, which the sync test forbids, and for internal-only content. The sync test now derives its pairs from what is actually in public/docs instead of a hand-maintained list, so a copied doc cannot silently drift from its source and a new one cannot be added without one. Known remaining gaps, all pre-existing: nine references to docs/architecture/ files that do not exist in the repository, and parent relative links such as ../SECURITY.md that resolve on GitHub but not under the shipped /docs/ root. Contract-Neutral: ships existing documentation as static assets

# Agent Security
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse agents incorporate several security mechanisms to ensure that the code running on your infrastructure is authentic and untampered with.
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent Privilege Model
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse's Linux/systemd installer runs the unified agent as `root` by default.
|
||||
That is intentional for full host telemetry: disk SMART data, mdadm/RAID state,
|
||||
temperature sensors, Docker or Podman socket reads, Proxmox host-local details
|
||||
that are not available through the API, and some NAS/platform integrations
|
||||
commonly require root or equivalent local privileges. Running the service as a
|
||||
lower-privilege user may work for a narrow subset of metrics, but it is not a
|
||||
supported full-telemetry profile today.
|
||||
|
||||
Treat a host agent like other infrastructure monitoring software with local
|
||||
root read access:
|
||||
|
||||
- install it only on hosts you trust Pulse to monitor;
|
||||
- keep the agent token scoped to that Pulse server;
|
||||
- keep command execution disabled unless you explicitly need governed
|
||||
remediation;
|
||||
- update from signed release assets rather than arbitrary branch snapshots.
|
||||
|
||||
The agent is primarily an outbound reporter to your Pulse server. By default it
|
||||
binds the health and Prometheus endpoints to `127.0.0.1:9191`, so a root agent
|
||||
does not expose that HTTP surface to the network unless you explicitly opt in.
|
||||
Set `--health-addr :9191` only when you intentionally scrape the agent from
|
||||
another host. Use `--health-addr ""` or `PULSE_HEALTH_ADDR=off` to disable the
|
||||
listener.
|
||||
|
||||
Generated Linux/systemd units also include conservative sandboxing such as
|
||||
`NoNewPrivileges=true`, `PrivateTmp=true`, kernel/control-group write
|
||||
protection, a private umask, and setuid/personality restrictions. Those
|
||||
directives reduce service blast radius while keeping the filesystem and device
|
||||
access needed for full host telemetry, Proxmox token setup, SMART, Docker, and
|
||||
NAS integrations.
|
||||
|
||||
Command execution is disabled by default. It can be enabled with
|
||||
`--enable-commands`, `PULSE_ENABLE_COMMANDS=true`, or the centralized agent
|
||||
command setting after enrollment. Leave it disabled for read-only monitoring.
|
||||
When enabled, commands still flow through Pulse's command policy and approval
|
||||
surfaces instead of silently turning every agent into an unrestricted remote
|
||||
shell.
|
||||
|
||||
Custom numeric sensors are a separate, local configuration boundary. Enabling
|
||||
them with `--custom-sensors-file` does not enable remote commands and
|
||||
`--enable-commands` is not required. The server cannot add or alter a custom
|
||||
sensor command. The agent accepts only absolute executable paths with no
|
||||
arguments or shell interpretation, bounds concurrency, time, and output, and
|
||||
revalidates the command before every run. On POSIX systems the configuration,
|
||||
commands, and immediate command directories must pass ownership, symlink, and
|
||||
write-permission checks. Treat the configured executables as trusted agent
|
||||
code: the service commonly runs as root, so only administrators should be able
|
||||
to replace them.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent command tokens must be bound to a host or agent identity before command
|
||||
registration is accepted. Proxmox install-command tokens are the only first-use
|
||||
exception: because the server mints them before the installer knows the final
|
||||
hostname, Pulse binds them to the first command agent that registers with that
|
||||
token. Generic unbound `agent:exec` tokens still fail closed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Proxmox Deployment Choices
|
||||
|
||||
You do not need a Pulse agent on every Proxmox-related host just to see basic
|
||||
cluster inventory and utilization. Start with the least-privilege path that
|
||||
answers your monitoring question:
|
||||
|
||||
| Goal | Recommended path | Root agent needed? |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| PVE/PBS/PMG inventory, node status, VM/container status, storage usage, and normal Proxmox API metrics | Add the Proxmox connection with a read-only or narrowly scoped API token | No |
|
||||
| VM guest disk and memory details through QEMU Guest Agent | Use Proxmox API permissions such as `VM.GuestAgent.Audit` and `VM.GuestAgent.FileRead` where supported | No host agent for the Proxmox node |
|
||||
| All mounted LXC filesystem capacities and usage | Install the Unified Agent on the owning PVE node; it automatically uses bounded `pct list` and `pct df` reads for running LXCs | Yes, on the PVE node |
|
||||
| Docker/Podman containers inside a VM or LXC through guest-local reporting | Install the agent inside that VM/LXC with Docker/Podman monitoring enabled, or use another explicit guest access/reporting path | Usually requires root or Docker socket-equivalent access |
|
||||
| Docker containers inside an LXC from a Proxmox host agent | Start Pulse with `PULSE_ENABLE_PROXMOX_GUEST_DOCKER_INVENTORY=true`; optionally limit guests with `PULSE_PROXMOX_GUEST_DOCKER_INVENTORY_VMIDS=101,102` | Requires a root/equivalent Pulse agent on the Proxmox node and explicit server opt-in |
|
||||
| Host SMART, temperatures, local ZFS/Ceph/mdadm detail, arbitrary mount reads, and full host telemetry | Install the agent on that host | Yes, for the supported full-telemetry profile |
|
||||
| Kubernetes node/pod monitoring from a cluster | Use the Kubernetes agent/DaemonSet profile | Depends on whether host metrics are enabled |
|
||||
|
||||
Inside-guest runtime visibility is explicit. Installing the agent inside a VM or
|
||||
LXC authorizes that guest-local agent to report Docker/Podman monitoring data
|
||||
according to its local module flags. A Proxmox node agent does not look inside
|
||||
LXCs by default. Its automatic LXC filesystem collector is a node-local
|
||||
capacity query only: it runs `pct list`, then `pct df <vmid>` for guests already
|
||||
reported running, and reports mount keys, volume labels, mount paths, and
|
||||
capacity/usage numbers. It does not run a command inside the guest or read
|
||||
guest files, processes, environment, or container-runtime metadata. It skips
|
||||
guests reported stopped and bounds command time, output, guest count, and disk
|
||||
count.
|
||||
|
||||
The node agent can collect Docker container inventory from LXC guests
|
||||
through `pct exec`, but only when the server is started with
|
||||
`PULSE_ENABLE_PROXMOX_GUEST_DOCKER_INVENTORY=true`.
|
||||
Inventory collection is disabled by default, can be VMID-allowlisted, and is
|
||||
limited to the Docker page summary path: Docker host/runtime version, container
|
||||
ID, name, image, state/status, ports, and aggregate `docker stats` counters.
|
||||
It does not run `docker inspect` and does not collect guest environment values,
|
||||
mount sources, container commands, files, or process details. The lighter
|
||||
socket-presence hint remains separately available through
|
||||
`PULSE_ENABLE_PROXMOX_GUEST_DOCKER_DETECTION=true`.
|
||||
|
||||
For VMs, a Proxmox host agent still cannot see Docker/Podman inventory without
|
||||
guest cooperation such as a guest-local Pulse agent, QEMU guest-agent mediated
|
||||
integration, SSH, or an explicitly exposed Docker/Podman reporting endpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
If Proxmox API data is enough for your use case, prefer API-only monitoring and
|
||||
do not install a host agent just because the installer exists. Install agents
|
||||
where you need data that Proxmox cannot provide through its API, or where the
|
||||
data lives inside a guest/container rather than at the Proxmox node layer.
|
||||
The Settings Proxmox setup flow uses this API inventory path as the default;
|
||||
the host telemetry agent path is for the full-telemetry cases above.
|
||||
Generated API Inventory setup still needs a one-time privileged shell on the
|
||||
Proxmox host so it can create the `pulse-monitor` account, token, and ACLs, but
|
||||
steady-state monitoring uses the Proxmox API rather than a root Pulse agent.
|
||||
For PVE, the generated script creates a privilege-separated API token and
|
||||
mirrors the generated read/monitoring ACLs onto both the service user and the
|
||||
token. For PBS, the generated script grants the `Audit` ACL to both the service
|
||||
user and token.
|
||||
|
||||
Running `pulse-agent` as a custom non-root systemd user is possible by editing
|
||||
the service unit, but it is not a supported full-telemetry mode today. Expect
|
||||
gaps in SMART, temperature, Docker socket, ZFS/Ceph/mdadm, mount, and platform
|
||||
integration data unless you deliberately grant equivalent capabilities or group
|
||||
access. If you choose that route, treat it as a local hardening profile and
|
||||
verify the exact metrics you care about after the change.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supply-Chain Boundary
|
||||
|
||||
The agent self-update path is not just "download the latest binary and run it".
|
||||
Release builds require checksum validation, and when trusted update keys are
|
||||
embedded they also require an Ed25519 release signature before replacing the
|
||||
running binary.
|
||||
|
||||
The initial installer is different: if you paste and run a shell command as
|
||||
root, you are granting root to that installer at that moment. Prefer the
|
||||
release-pinned, signature-verified server installer flow documented in
|
||||
[README.md](../README.md) and [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md), then use the agent
|
||||
install command generated by your own Pulse server.
|
||||
|
||||
For the server installer, avoid `latest` when you want a tighter change-control
|
||||
boundary. Download a specific release tag, verify the `install.sh.sshsig`
|
||||
signature, and pass that same tag to `bash install.sh --version`. Agent
|
||||
self-updates still verify checksum headers, and release builds require
|
||||
signatures when a trusted update key is embedded.
|
||||
|
||||
The first automatic hop from an already-installed v5 `pulse-agent` to v6 is
|
||||
performed by the v5 updater. That updater verifies TLS by default, requires the
|
||||
server-provided SHA-256 checksum, validates executable magic, enforces the size
|
||||
limit, and swaps atomically, but it does not yet have the v6 Ed25519 signature
|
||||
requirement or downloaded-binary `--self-test`. For that migration hop, use
|
||||
HTTPS or a trusted local network. In high-assurance environments, reinstall the
|
||||
v6 `pulse-agent` through the signed installer path instead of relying on the
|
||||
automatic v5-to-v6 first hop over plain HTTP.
|
||||
|
||||
## Self-Update Security
|
||||
|
||||
The agent's self-update mechanism is critical for security and stability. To prevent supply chain attacks or compromised update servers from distributing malicious or broken agents, Pulse employs a rigorous verification process.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Checksum Verification
|
||||
The agent verifies a SHA-256 checksum of the downloaded binary. The server must provide
|
||||
`X-Checksum-Sha256`; updates are rejected if the header is missing or mismatched.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Signature Verification
|
||||
Release builds embed trusted Ed25519 update public keys and require
|
||||
`X-Signature-Ed25519` in addition to the checksum header. Updates are rejected
|
||||
when the signature is missing or does not verify against the embedded trust
|
||||
root.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Pre-Flight Checks
|
||||
To prevent "brick-updates"—bad updates that crash immediately and require manual recovery—agents perform pre-flight validation before replacing the running executable.
|
||||
|
||||
Unified agent (`pulse-agent`):
|
||||
1. Download new binary.
|
||||
2. Verify checksum (required).
|
||||
3. Verify the Ed25519 release signature when trusted update keys are embedded.
|
||||
4. Validate binary magic (ELF/Mach-O/PE) and size limits (100MB max).
|
||||
5. Run the downloaded binary with `--self-test`, passing any live token through a short-lived `0600` token file rather than argv.
|
||||
6. Make executable and swap atomically.
|
||||
|
||||
## API Security
|
||||
|
||||
- **Token Authentication**: All agent-to-server communication requires a valid API token.
|
||||
- **TLS**: Encrypted by default (unless specifically disabled).
|
||||
- **Network Isolation (optional)**: The agent control plane can be served on a dedicated, separately firewalled port. It exposes the bounded report/config, command WebSocket, version, and bootstrap routes needed for the full agent lifecycle, but not the web UI or management API. See [Split-Port Agent Ingest](CONFIGURATION.md#split-port-agent-ingest-network-isolation).

# Pulse Intelligence
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse Patrol is available to everyone on the Community plan with BYOK (your own AI provider). Pro adds hands-on Patrol modes, issue investigation, governed fixes, verified outcomes, and 90-day history, while hosted Cloud carries those capabilities for hosted environments. Learn more at <https://pulserelay.pro> or see [PULSE_PRO.md](PULSE_PRO.md).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- pulse-intelligence-overview:start -->
|
||||
Pulse Intelligence is built around a shared **Pulse Intelligence Core**: Canonical context, governed actions, safety gates, approval state, action audit, and verification shared by Pulse Assistant, Pulse MCP, and Pulse Patrol.
|
||||
|
||||
That core is deliberately surfaced with Patrol as the primary built-in operator and Assistant plus MCP as access paths over the same governed capabilities:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pulse Patrol**: Patrol is the first-party operations surface: it checks infrastructure, investigates issues, follows the chosen Patrol mode before acting, verifies outcomes, and records what happened.
|
||||
2. **Pulse Assistant**: The contextual explanation, approval, and handoff surface for Patrol findings, governed actions, verification, and operator questions. Affordances: tools and interactive questions.
|
||||
3. **Pulse MCP**: The external-agent adapter that projects canonical Pulse Intelligence capabilities as MCP tools. Affordances: tools, resources, prompts, and capability metadata.
|
||||
<!-- pulse-intelligence-overview:end -->
|
||||
|
||||
These surfaces are built on the same action-driven architecture: the configured LLM owns diagnosis, prioritization, fix reasoning, and action choice; Pulse supplies context, capabilities, safety gates, approval state, and audit trails. Verification is part of the governed action lifecycle rather than a separate model-owned feature.
|
||||
|
||||
### Not Just Another Chatbot
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse Assistant is a **protocol-driven, safety-gated LLM tool surface** that:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Provides governed context** — attaches explicit resource mentions and recent session facts without rewriting user intent
|
||||
- **Caches session facts** — extracts bounded tool facts to avoid redundant queries during the current conversation
|
||||
- **Enforces workflow invariants** — FSM prevents dangerous state transitions
|
||||
- **Supports parallel tool execution** — efficient batch operations with concurrency control
|
||||
- **Grounds answers in real tool work** — visible tool traces, read-after-write verification, and transcript hygiene prevent unsupported execution claims from being treated as facts
|
||||
- **Returns structured tool errors** — the model can recover from clear, machine-readable failures
|
||||
|
||||
📖 **For a deep technical dive into the Assistant architecture, see [architecture/pulse-assistant-deep-dive.md](architecture/pulse-assistant-deep-dive.md).**
|
||||
|
||||
### Not Just Another Alerting System
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse Patrol is a **scheduled and event-triggered governed operator** that:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Assembles evidence** from metrics, storage, backups, discovery, alerts, and resource timelines
|
||||
- **Provides statistical context** such as baselines, trend summaries, capacity estimates, and event relationships
|
||||
- **Lets the configured LLM reason** over that evidence and decide whether to call tools or report findings
|
||||
- **Routes governed actions** through approval, entitlement, policy, verification, and audit boundaries
|
||||
- **Preserves operator feedback** as context for future model runs without converting it into Pulse-authored fixes
|
||||
|
||||
All while running entirely on your infrastructure with BYOK for complete privacy.
|
||||
|
||||
📖 **For a deep technical dive into the Patrol runtime, see [architecture/pulse-patrol-deep-dive.md](architecture/pulse-patrol-deep-dive.md).**
|
||||
|
||||
🧪 **For independent live-fault qualification, safety gates, model comparison,
|
||||
and release-claim rules, see [AI_PATROL_QUALIFICATION.md](AI_PATROL_QUALIFICATION.md).**
|
||||
|
||||
See [architecture/pulse-assistant.md](architecture/pulse-assistant.md) for the original safety architecture documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Assistant And MCP
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse Assistant and `pulse-mcp` are sibling surfaces over Pulse Intelligence,
|
||||
not competing implementations, and neither replaces the other. Assistant remains
|
||||
the in-app Pro surface for current resource/finding/run handoffs, approval
|
||||
cards, governed action status, and operator-friendly timelines. `pulse-mcp`
|
||||
owns the external-agent bridge: it fetches `/api/agent/capabilities`, projects
|
||||
those canonical API capabilities as MCP tools, and preserves the same stable
|
||||
error envelopes and approval/audit contracts. New operational capabilities
|
||||
should be added to the canonical API manifest first, then consumed by Assistant
|
||||
or MCP as appropriate; MCP-only actions and Assistant-only copies of the same
|
||||
business logic are drift.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Pulse Patrol
|
||||
|
||||
Patrol is a scheduled model workflow that builds a rich, system-wide snapshot and gives your configured LLM the tools it needs to produce actionable findings.
|
||||
|
||||
### How Patrol Works
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
│
|
||||

|
||||
│
|
||||
▼ (if configured)
|
||||
MaybeInvestigateFinding() ── model investigation + governed fix planning/execution
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### The Patrol attention queue
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing Patrol shows is **Needs attention**, a single operator queue
|
||||
projected from Pulse's canonical alert lifecycle. It combines current
|
||||
operational state with evidence quality and protection context; it does not
|
||||
create a second finding lifecycle.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Active** contains open work plus stale or unknown collection states that
|
||||
still require a decision.
|
||||
- **Acknowledged** and **Suppressed** remain inspectable without being counted
|
||||
as active work.
|
||||
- **Recent resolved** preserves the explanation and transition history without
|
||||
presenting old work as live.
|
||||
- **Stale or unknown** means Pulse lacks current enough evidence. It is never
|
||||
shown as healthy or resolved.
|
||||
- A calm message appears only when the lifecycle evaluation succeeded, coverage
|
||||
is current, and no active item exists. An unavailable evaluation says so
|
||||
explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
Select an item to see the affected resource, impact, next step, typed evidence,
|
||||
protection posture, and lifecycle timeline. **Explain with Assistant** appears
|
||||
only inside selected context and receives policy-shaped summaries and
|
||||
references. Assistant can explain the item, but it cannot create lifecycle
|
||||
truth, invent action authority, or hide uncertainty.
|
||||
|
||||
Open items can be acknowledged directly. Suppression is temporary and requires
|
||||
an operator reason plus a bounded expiry; it never resolves the detector's
|
||||
finding. Eligible Pulse Pro Docker health items can offer a governed restart.
|
||||
That journey uses the canonical action plan, approval, execution, audit, and
|
||||
verification APIs. A successful command does not resolve the attention item;
|
||||
fresh detector evidence must still confirm recovery.
|
||||
|
||||
### What Patrol Sees
|
||||
|
||||
Every patrol run passes the LLM comprehensive context about your environment:
|
||||
|
||||
| Data Category | What's Included |
|
||||
|---------------|-----------------|
|
||||
| **Proxmox Nodes** | Status, CPU%, memory%, uptime, 24h/7d trend analysis |
|
||||
| **VMs & Containers** | Full metrics, backup status, OCI images, historical trends, anomaly evidence |
|
||||
| **Storage Pools** | Usage %, capacity estimates, type (ZFS/LVM/Ceph), growth rates |
|
||||
| **Docker/Podman** | Container counts, health states, unhealthy container lists |
|
||||
| **Kubernetes** | Nodes, pods, deployments, services, DaemonSets, StatefulSets, namespaces |
|
||||
| **TrueNAS** | Pools, datasets, disk health, SMART status, replication, alerts |
|
||||
| **PBS/PMG** | Datastore status, backup jobs, job failures, verification status |
|
||||
| **Ceph** | Cluster health, OSD states, PG status |
|
||||
| **Agent Hosts** | Load averages, memory, disk, RAID status, temperatures |
|
||||
|
||||
### Model-Bound Context
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond raw metrics, Patrol prepares structured evidence for the model:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Trend summaries** — 24h and 7d samples showing `growing`, `stable`, `declining`, or `volatile` behavior
|
||||
- **Baseline evidence** — Z-score anomaly evidence from historical metrics
|
||||
- **Capacity estimates** — "Storage pool reaches 95% in about 12 days at current growth rate"
|
||||
- **Infrastructure changes** — Detected config changes, VM migrations, new deployments
|
||||
- **Resource relationships** — Related events and topology context
|
||||
- **User notes** — Your annotations explaining expected behavior
|
||||
- **Dismissed findings** — Respects your feedback and suppressed alerts
|
||||
- **Investigation context** — Uses prior alert context, Patrol run history, and resource timelines
|
||||
|
||||
### Deterministic Evidence Extraction
|
||||
|
||||
Patrol parses tool outputs for concrete evidence such as backup failures, storage pressure, and disk health failures. These signals are not final findings by themselves: unmatched signals are sent to a focused LLM evaluation pass, and if the model still declines to report them, Pulse does not convert them into Pulse-authored findings.
|
||||
|
||||
| Signal Type | Trigger | Default Threshold |
|
||||
|------------|---------|-------------------|
|
||||
| `smart_failure` | SMART health status not OK/PASSED, or critical SMART counters such as pending sectors, offline uncorrectable sectors, or NVMe media errors | N/A |
|
||||
| `high_cpu` | Average CPU usage | 70% |
|
||||
| `high_memory` | Average memory usage | 80% |
|
||||
| `high_disk` | Storage pool usage | 75% (warning), 95% (critical) |
|
||||
| `backup_failed` | Recent backup task with error status | Within 48h |
|
||||
| `backup_stale` | No backup completed for VM/CT | 48+ hours |
|
||||
|
||||
Thresholds can be configured via alert settings to match user-defined values.
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples of What Patrol Catches
|
||||
|
||||
| Issue | Severity | Example |
|
||||
|-------|----------|---------|
|
||||
| **Disk approaching capacity** | Warning/Critical | Storage growing toward full with concrete time-to-threshold evidence |
|
||||
| **Backup failures** | Warning | PBS job failed, no backup in 48+ hours |
|
||||
| **Storage issues** | Critical | PBS datastore errors, ZFS pool degraded |
|
||||
| **Ceph problems** | Warning/Critical | Degraded OSDs, unhealthy PGs |
|
||||
| **Kubernetes issues** | Warning | Pods stuck in Pending/CrashLoopBackOff |
|
||||
| **SMART failures** | Critical | Disk health check failed, pending sectors, offline uncorrectable sectors, or NVMe media errors |
|
||||
| **Alert-triggered investigations** | Pro / Cloud | A fired alert prompts the model to gather surrounding context and explain likely cause |
|
||||
|
||||
### What Patrol Ignores (by design)
|
||||
|
||||
Patrol is **intentionally conservative** to avoid noise:
|
||||
|
||||
- Small baseline deviations ("CPU at 15% vs typical 10%")
|
||||
- Low utilization that's "elevated" but fine (disk at 40%)
|
||||
- Stopped VMs/containers that were intentionally stopped
|
||||
- Brief spikes that resolve on their own
|
||||
- Anything that doesn't require human action
|
||||
- Conditions already fully covered by the normal alert lifecycle unless the model finds additional context that changes the operator decision
|
||||
|
||||
> **Philosophy**: If a finding wouldn't be worth waking someone up at 3am, Patrol won't create it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Finding Severity
|
||||
|
||||
- **Critical**: Immediate attention required (service down, data at risk)
|
||||
- **Warning**: Should be addressed soon (disk filling, backup stale)
|
||||
|
||||
Note: `info` and `watch` level findings are filtered out to reduce noise.
|
||||
|
||||
### Managing Findings
|
||||
|
||||
Findings can be managed via the UI or API:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Get help**: Chat with AI to troubleshoot the issue
|
||||
- **Resolve**: Mark as fixed (finding will reappear if the issue resurfaces)
|
||||
- **Dismiss**: Mark as expected behavior (creates suppression rule)
|
||||
|
||||
Dismissed and resolved findings persist across Pulse restarts.
|
||||
|
||||
Every active finding shown or returned to a Patrol run must receive an
|
||||
explicit `present`, `resolved`, or `uncertain` assessment. Silence is not an
|
||||
all-clear signal. `present` refreshes current evidence, `resolved` remains
|
||||
subject to deterministic verification, and `uncertain` keeps the finding open
|
||||
and makes the run visibly inconclusive.
|
||||
|
||||
### Patrol model qualification
|
||||
|
||||
The Assistant model matrix below proves Assistant orchestration only. Patrol
|
||||
recommendations are published separately from live, reversible canary faults,
|
||||
healthy controls, normal collection paths, scenario-owned ground truth, and
|
||||
track-specific launch gates. See
|
||||
[Pulse Patrol autonomous operations and real-world qualification](AI_PATROL_QUALIFICATION.md)
|
||||
for the catalogue, methodology, safe lab boundary, full-track local suite,
|
||||
privacy-allowlisted community evidence export, and publication command.

|
||||
|
||||
## Patrol Modes
|
||||
|
||||
Patrol supports four modes that decide how far Pulse can go after it finds an issue:
|
||||
|
||||
| Mode | Behavior | Plan |
|
||||
|-------|----------|------|
|
||||
| **Watch only** | Detect issues only. No investigation or fixes. | Community (BYOK) |
|
||||
| **Ask before changes** | Investigates findings and proposes fixes. All fixes require approval before execution. | Pro / hosted Cloud |
|
||||
| **Auto-fix safe issues** | Runs warning-level governed fixes automatically and verifies results. Critical findings still require approval by default. | Pro / hosted Cloud |
|
||||
| **Policy autopilot** | Runs eligible governed fixes automatically and verifies results. Use only in environments where this is acceptable. | Pro / hosted Cloud |
|
||||
|
||||
Community and Relay installs can still run scheduled Patrol findings with BYOK. Watch only remains the free-first baseline; investigation, proposed fixes, and fix execution are paid AI-operations capabilities rather than a core monitoring limit.
|
||||
|
||||
### Investigation Flow
|
||||
|
||||
When a finding is created in a Pro Patrol mode:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Finding created
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
MaybeInvestigateFinding()
|
||||
│
|
||||
├─ Has orch + chatService?
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ ▼
|
||||
│ InvestigateFinding()
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ ▼
|
||||
│ Create chat session
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ ▼
|
||||
│ AI analysis (with tools)
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ ▼
|
||||
│ [Fix proposed?] ──Yes──► Queue approval (or auto-execute in full mode)
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ No
|
||||
│ ▼
|
||||
│ Update finding with outcome
|
||||
│
|
||||
└─ Skip investigation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Investigation Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
| Setting | Default | Description |
|
||||

|
||||
| `Timeout` | 10 min | Maximum duration per investigation |

|
||||
| `CooldownDuration` | 1 hour | Cooldown before re-investigating |
|
||||
| `TimeoutCooldownDuration` | 10 min | Shorter cooldown for timeout failures |
|
||||
| `VerificationDelay` | 30 sec | Wait before verifying fix |
|
||||
|
||||
### Investigation Outcomes
|
||||
|
||||
| Outcome | Meaning |
|
||||
|---------|---------|
|
||||
| `resolved` | Issue resolved during investigation |
|
||||

| `cannot_fix` | Issue cannot be automatically fixed |
|
||||
| `timed_out` | Investigation timed out (will retry sooner) |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Pulse Assistant (Chat)
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse Assistant is a **tool-driven** chat interface. It does not "guess" system state — it calls live tools and reports their outputs.
|
||||
|
||||
### The Model's Workflow (Discover → Investigate → Act)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Discover**: Uses `pulse_query` or `pulse_discovery` to find real resources and IDs
|
||||
2. **Investigate**: Uses `pulse_read` to run bounded, read-only commands and check status/logs
|
||||
3. **Act** (optional): Uses `pulse_control` for changes, then verifies with a read
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool Inventory
|
||||
|
||||
The Assistant tool list is registry-owned at runtime, not hand-maintained in
|
||||
this public overview. Each turn receives an available-tool manifest generated
|
||||
from Pulse's governed tool registry, including action mode (`read`, `mixed`,
|
||||
`write`) and approval policy (`scope_only`, `action_plan`). That same registry
|
||||
feeds the Assistant system prompt, provider tool declarations, tool-result
|
||||
handling, approval boundaries, and Patrol-only tool filtering.
|
||||
|
||||
For the current source-owned inventory, see the native tool registry and
|
||||
governance projection in `internal/ai/tools/` and
|
||||
`internal/agentcapabilities/`. For external agents, use the live
|
||||
`/api/agent/capabilities` manifest or `pulse-mcp` `tools/list`; those surfaces
|
||||
project the canonical agent capabilities rather than a separate MCP-only tool
|
||||
table.
|
||||
The same manifest also carries reusable `workflowPrompts` metadata so Pulse
|
||||
Assistant-compatible starters and MCP `prompts/list` clients discover the same
|
||||
fleet triage, resource investigation, and Patrol finding review workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
### Safety Gates
|
||||
|
||||
The assistant enforces multiple safety gates:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Discovery Before Action** — Action tools cannot operate on resources that weren't first discovered
|
||||
2. **Verification After Write** — After any write, the model must perform a read/status check before providing a final answer
|
||||
3. **Read/Write Separation** — Read operations route through `pulse_read` (stays in READING state); write operations route through `pulse_control` (enters VERIFYING state)
|
||||
4. **Grounded Execution Guardrails** — Visible tool traces and read-after-write checks prevent unsupported execution claims from being treated as facts
|
||||
5. **Approval Mode** — In Controlled mode, every write requires explicit user approval
|
||||
6. **Execution Context Binding** — Commands execute within the resolved resource's context, not on parent hosts
|
||||
|
||||
### Control Levels
|
||||
|
||||
| Level | Behavior | Plan |
|
||||
|-------|----------|---------|
|
||||
| **Read-only** | AI can observe and query data only | Community |
|
||||
| **Controlled** | AI asks for approval before executing commands | Community |
|
||||
| **Autonomous** | AI executes actions without prompting | Pro / hosted Cloud |
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Approvals (Controlled Mode)
|
||||
|
||||
When control level is **Controlled**, write actions pause for approval:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Tool returns `APPROVAL_REQUIRED: { approval_id, command, ... }`
|
||||
2. Agentic loop emits `approval_needed` SSE event
|
||||
3. UI shows approval card with the proposed command
|
||||
4. **Approve** to execute and verify, or **Deny** to cancel
|
||||
5. Only users with admin privileges can approve/deny
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Configure providers in the UI: **Settings → Pulse Intelligence → Provider & Models**
|
||||
|
||||
### Supported Providers
|
||||
|
||||
- **Anthropic** (API key)
|
||||
- **OpenAI**
|
||||
- **OpenRouter**
|
||||
- **DeepSeek**
|
||||
- **Google Gemini**
|
||||
- **Ollama** (self-hosted, with tool/function calling support)
|
||||
- **Codex subscription (local)** — uses an installed Codex CLI signed in with
|
||||
ChatGPT; no OpenAI API key is required or forwarded
|
||||
- **Claude subscription (local)** — uses an installed Claude CLI signed in
|
||||
with a Claude plan; no Anthropic API key is required or forwarded
|
||||
- **OpenAI-compatible base URL** (llama.cpp, LocalAI, LM Studio, and other
|
||||
compatible servers; the API key is optional when the custom endpoint is
|
||||
intentionally keyless)
|
||||
|
||||
Legacy Anthropic OAuth fields may still appear in stored settings so existing
|
||||
installs can disconnect and clear old tokens, but Anthropic OAuth is not a
|
||||
supported runtime authentication method and does not make Anthropic configured.
|
||||
|
||||
### Local subscription-agent routes
|
||||
|
||||
The local subscription routes are explicit, same-machine transports for
|
||||
self-hosted Pulse. Enable one under **Provider & Models** only when the Pulse
|
||||
process runs as a user that can execute the corresponding CLI and read that
|
||||
CLI's existing login. Pulse does not copy, store, refresh, or expose the CLI's
|
||||
OAuth credentials. It also constructs a strict child-process environment that
|
||||
does not forward API-key environment variables such as `OPENAI_API_KEY` or
|
||||
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, Pulse secrets, cloud credentials, or unrelated tokens,
|
||||
preventing an installed API key from silently changing the billing route.
|
||||
|
||||
The child CLI is not given infrastructure authority. Each invocation runs in a
|
||||
new temporary directory, with user extensions disabled, no Pulse MCP server,
|
||||
no approval capability, and a structured output schema. It returns one proposed
|
||||
provider turn. Pulse validates tool names, IDs, argument JSON, and tool-choice
|
||||
constraints. Pulse retains tool execution and policy enforcement: the normal
|
||||
Pulse tool loop independently applies control level, license,
|
||||
protected-resource, approval, action, and verification policy. The CLI never
|
||||
executes a Patrol tool itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Claude Code can occasionally express a requested Pulse tool as a local native
|
||||
tool call even though local tools are disabled. Pulse audits Claude's buffered
|
||||
event stream, accepts only the first call whose name was explicitly offered for
|
||||
that turn, and routes it back through Pulse's normal executor; undeclared local
|
||||
tool attempts fail closed. This does not grant Claude Code direct access to the
|
||||
infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
This is still a local agent process, not a remote chat-completions API. Pulse
|
||||
rejects a turn if Codex reports command, file, MCP, web, computer, or image-tool
|
||||
activity, and Claude is launched with its built-in filesystem, shell, web, and
|
||||
task tools denied. Codex's read-only sandbox is the remaining operating-system
|
||||
boundary; operators should run self-hosted Pulse under a dedicated,
|
||||
least-privilege OS account that cannot read unrelated user secrets. Do not
|
||||
enable a subscription-agent route on a broadly privileged service account
|
||||
merely to avoid API charges.
|
||||
|
||||
Install and authenticate the CLI before enabling its route:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
codex login
|
||||
codex login status
|
||||
|
||||
claude auth login
|
||||
claude auth status --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use model IDs such as `codex-subscription:gpt-5.6-luna`,
|
||||
`claude-subscription:sonnet`, or `claude-subscription:opus`. Model availability
|
||||
and plan limits remain controlled by the installed CLI and the user's plan.
|
||||
These routes are unsuitable for a container or service account unless that
|
||||
runtime deliberately has the CLI and its own valid login. Pulse reports missing
|
||||
binaries, logged-out sessions, plan limits, and model access failures as
|
||||
provider readiness failures; it never falls back to a metered API provider.
|
||||
|
||||
The opt-in live transport probe is:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
PULSE_TEST_SUBSCRIPTION_AGENTS=1 \
|
||||
go test ./internal/ai/providers -run '^TestSubscriptionAgentLive$' -count=1 -v
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Qualification reports record `inference_route=local_subscription_agent` so
|
||||
subscription-backed runs cannot be confused with direct API or local-model
|
||||
runs. Token counts depend on what the CLI exposes, and a subscription allowance
|
||||
is not represented as a zero-dollar API price. The report keeps its monetary
|
||||
cost unknown and marks the per-run metered-API budget as not applicable; plan
|
||||
limits, provider errors, latency, and any usage the CLI exposes remain visible.
|
||||
For automatic Watch checks, Pulse also sends a bounded output allowance and a
|
||||
low reasoning-effort hint to the local Codex or Claude transport. This limits
|
||||
routine structured routing and summary overhead; it does not reduce the tools
|
||||
available to Watch or change Pro investigation reasoning, which remains
|
||||
model-led and uses its normal reasoning depth.
|
||||
|
||||
Z.ai requests sent through a configured `/api/coding/paas/` endpoint are
|
||||
recorded as `inference_route=coding_plan_allowance`. Qualification keeps their
|
||||
per-run monetary cost unknown and the metered-API dollar budget not applicable,
|
||||
while still scoring tokens, latency, provider or plan failures, and model
|
||||
quality. The standard Z.ai `/api/paas/` endpoint remains a `metered_api` route.
|
||||
|
||||
### Models
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse uses model identifiers in the form: `provider:model-name`
|
||||
|
||||
Custom OpenAI-compatible model catalogs are authoritative. Pulse lists every
|
||||
non-empty model ID returned by the endpoint, including IDs without a known
|
||||
vendor prefix, and binds them to the configured `openai` provider instead of
|
||||
guessing from the ID. Pulse omits empty Authorization headers, uses the
|
||||
portable `max_tokens` request field, and omits optional OpenAI stream extensions
|
||||
on custom endpoints. If an endpoint explicitly supports only buffered
|
||||
completions, Pulse validates the complete response before projecting it through
|
||||
the streaming runtime. Partial or malformed tool responses never become
|
||||
executable calls.
|
||||
|
||||
Ollama `keep_alive` is an optional provider setting. Blank is the default and
|
||||
means Pulse omits the field so the Ollama server's own policy applies; explicit
|
||||
duration, seconds, `-1`, and `0` values persist across restart and apply to both
|
||||
streaming and non-streaming requests.
|
||||
|
||||
You can set separate models for:
|
||||
- Chat (`chat_model`)
|
||||
- Patrol (`patrol_model`)
|
||||
- Patrol fix model (`auto_fix_model`, retained as the compatibility settings key)
|
||||
|
||||
### Patrol model readiness advisor
|
||||
|
||||
Open **Settings → Pulse Intelligence → Patrol → Model readiness** and select
|
||||
**Check Patrol model** to evaluate the exact provider, model, and local runtime.
|
||||
The advisor uses synthetic data only and never calls infrastructure tools. It
|
||||
checks provider connectivity, exact typed streaming tool calls, two
|
||||
Patrol-shaped context fixtures, a multi-turn tool-result continuation, and
|
||||
projected loop latency. Provider calls respect the configured cost budget and
|
||||
their token counts are recorded under the `patrol_readiness` usage category.
|
||||
|
||||
Probes run with the runtime the fixtures require rather than provider server
|
||||
defaults: an explicit runtime context window sized to the haystack fixtures
|
||||
(sent as `num_ctx` on Ollama and clamped to the model's trained window), a
|
||||
pinned temperature of 0, a generation budget that absorbs `<think>` reasoning
|
||||
from thinking models, and the same inter-chunk stream stall allowance as the
|
||||
real Patrol loop. When an evaluation fails, the result carries per-scenario
|
||||
evaluation detail (probe and validator errors, including the provider's stop
|
||||
reason such as `done_reason=length`) so the failure is diagnosable from the
|
||||
UI and the API snapshot.
|
||||
|
||||
Results are reported separately for **Watch only** and **Ask first**. A short
|
||||
synthetic evaluation never certifies **Safe auto-fix** or **Autopilot**; those
|
||||
modes remain `not_assessed` until an extended governed canary is available.
|
||||
Changing the selected model, provider credentials or endpoint, or relevant
|
||||
timeout settings invalidates the cached result. Slow evaluations can be
|
||||
cancelled from the UI without replacing the last completed evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
Provider transport health is reported independently from Patrol capability. A
|
||||
local endpoint can remain healthy and usable for ordinary Assistant chat while
|
||||
the selected model receives an amber Patrol warning because it did not
|
||||
demonstrate typed tool calls, context selection, continuation, or the required
|
||||
latency envelope. That warning does not mislabel the provider as disconnected,
|
||||
and it does not weaken Patrol's fail-closed tool/action admission.
|
||||
|
||||
Removing a provider is a complete lifecycle action: Pulse deletes that
|
||||
provider's stored credential, custom endpoint and provider-owned runtime
|
||||
options, clears model selections routed through it, invalidates its model
|
||||
catalog, and disables Pulse Intelligence when no provider remains. Credential
|
||||
rotation through the legacy clear-key fields remains credential-specific.
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage
|
||||
|
||||
AI settings are stored encrypted at rest in `ai.enc` under the Pulse config directory. Related files:
|
||||
|
||||
| File | Purpose |
|
||||
|------|---------|
|
||||
| `ai.enc` | Encrypted AI configuration and credentials |
|
||||
| `ai_findings.json` | Patrol findings |
|
||||
| `ai_patrol_runs.json` | Patrol run history |
|
||||
| `ai_patrol_model_readiness.json` | Last versioned Patrol model-readiness result; contains outcomes and timings, not prompts, credentials, or tool transcripts |
|
||||
| `ai_usage_history.json` | Token usage data |
|
||||
| `ai_chat_sessions.json` | Legacy chat sessions (UI sync) |
|
||||
| `baselines.json` | Learned resource baselines |
|
||||
| `ai_correlations.json` | Resource correlation data |
|
||||
| `ai_patterns.json` | Detected patterns |
|
||||
|
||||
Config directory: `/etc/pulse` (systemd) or `/data` (Docker/Kubernetes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing
|
||||
|
||||
- Test provider connectivity: `POST /api/ai/test` and `POST /api/ai/test/{provider}`
|
||||
- Evaluate Patrol model readiness: `POST /api/ai/patrol/readiness`
|
||||
- List available models: `GET /api/ai/models`
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Schedule and Triggers
|
||||
|
||||
Patrol runs on a configurable schedule:
|
||||
|
||||
| Interval | Description |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| Disabled | Patrol runs only when manually triggered |
|
||||
| 10 min – 7 days | Configurable interval (default: 6 hours) |
|
||||
|
||||
Patrol can also be triggered by:
|
||||
- **Manual run**: Click "Run Patrol" in the UI
|
||||
- **Alert-triggered analysis (Pro and above)**: Runs when an alert fires
|
||||
- **API call**: `POST /api/ai/patrol/run`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Model Context Layer
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse includes a model-context layer that aggregates evidence from AI runtime subsystems:
|
||||
|
||||
### Components
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Purpose |
|
||||
|-----------|---------|
|
||||
| **Baseline Store** | Maintains statistical metric summaries and anomaly evidence |
|
||||
| **Pattern Store** | Records recurring event evidence and trend context |
|
||||
| **Correlation Store** | Links related events and resource relationships for model context |
|
||||
| **Investigation Context** | Uses alert history, Patrol runs, and resource timelines |
|
||||
| **Knowledge Store** | Persists user annotations and model-safe context |
|
||||
| **Forecast Service** | Estimates capacity trajectories from historical samples |
|
||||
|
||||
### Health Scoring
|
||||
|
||||
Historical Patrol checks and the legacy operational score remain available in
|
||||
the collapsed supporting-context section. They are not the primary daily
|
||||
monitoring answer and do not replace the canonical attention queue.

||||

## Model Matrix (Pulse Assistant)
|
||||
|
||||
This table summarizes the most recent **Pulse Assistant** eval runs per model.
|
||||
|
||||
Update the table from eval reports:
|
||||
```
|
||||
EVAL_REPORT_DIR=tmp/eval-reports go run ./cmd/eval -scenario matrix -auto-models
|
||||
python3 scripts/eval/render_model_matrix.py tmp/eval-reports --write-doc docs/AI.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
Or use the helper script:
|
||||
```
|
||||
scripts/eval/run_model_matrix.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run the resource-context Assistant handoff eval against a live resource:
|
||||
```
|
||||
EVAL_RESOURCE_CONTEXT_ID=delly:delly:101 \
|
||||
EVAL_RESOURCE_CONTEXT_NAME=homeassistant \
|

## Safety Controls
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse includes settings that control how "active" AI features are:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Patrol modes (Pro and above)**: Lets you choose whether Patrol only watches, asks before changes, handles safe fixes, or uses policy autopilot
|
||||
- **Governed fixes (Pro and above)**: Allows Patrol to propose, approve, run, verify, and record fixes under the Patrol mode you choose
|
||||
- **Issue investigation (Pro and above)**: Lets Patrol investigate findings with surrounding infrastructure context
|
||||
- **Policy autopilot unlock (Pro and above)**: Permits eligible critical fixes without per-fix approval after an explicit opt-in
|
||||
|
||||
If you enable execution features, ensure agent tokens and scopes are appropriately restricted.
|
||||
|
||||
### Advanced Network Restrictions
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse blocks AI tool HTTP fetches to loopback and link-local addresses by default. For local development:
|
||||
|
||||
- `PULSE_AI_ALLOW_LOOPBACK=true`
|
||||
|
||||
Use this only in trusted environments.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Privacy
|
||||
|
||||
Patrol runs on your server and only sends the minimal context needed for analysis to the configured provider (when AI is enabled). Outbound usage telemetry (a rotating pseudonymous install ID, counts, feature flags, and coarse Patrol mode and governed Pulse Intelligence operations adoption flags and counters only; no hostnames, credentials, prompts, chat messages, command text, action output, token values, IP addresses, or resource identifiers in the payload) is enabled by default and can be disabled any time. See [Privacy](PRIVACY.md) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Patrol Is Different From Traditional Alerts
|
||||
|
||||
Alerts are threshold-based and narrow. Patrol gives the selected model a broader, tool-backed operating picture.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Alerts**: "Disk > 90%"
|
||||
- **Patrol**: "The model sees ZFS pool usage, growth rate, datastore consumers, backup context, and governed actions, then decides whether that evidence warrants a finding or action recommendation."
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Cost Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse tracks token usage and costs:
|
||||
|
||||
- View usage summary: `GET /api/ai/cost/summary`
|
||||
- Reset counters: `POST /api/ai/cost/reset` (admin)
|
||||
- Set monthly budget limits in AI settings
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
| Issue | Solution |
|
||||
|-------|----------|
|
||||
| Assistant or Patrol not responding | Verify provider credentials in **Settings → Pulse Intelligence → Provider & Models** |
|
||||
| No execution capability | Confirm at least one agent is connected |
|
||||
| Findings not persisting | Check Pulse has write access to `ai_findings.json` in the config directory |
|
||||
| Too many findings | This shouldn't happen — please report if it does |
|
||||
| Investigation stuck | Check circuit breaker status at `/api/ai/circuit/status`; may auto-reset after cooldown |
|
||||
| Model not available | Ensure provider API key is valid and model ID matches provider format |

# Pulse Intelligence Modes and Safety Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
This guide covers how to configure Patrol mode, Pulse Assistant command access, and the safety guardrails that apply before Pulse can change infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
For a general overview of Pulse Intelligence, see [AI.md](AI.md). For plan-level feature availability, see [PULSE_PRO.md](PULSE_PRO.md).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Two Axes of Control
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse separates AI permissions into two independent axes:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Patrol Mode** — What Patrol may handle automatically after it finds an issue: watch only, ask before changes, handle safe fixes, or use policy autopilot.
|
||||
2. **Assistant Command Access** — Whether the interactive chat assistant can execute commands during a chat session.
|
||||
|
||||
Patrol mode is configured on the **Patrol** page. Assistant command access is configured in **Settings → Pulse Intelligence → Assistant**.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Patrol Modes
|
||||
|
||||
Patrol mode sets how far Pulse can go when Patrol finds something that needs attention.
|
||||
|
||||
| Mode | Key | Detect | Investigate | Fix warning-level issues | Fix critical issues | Plan |
|
||||
|-------|-----|:------:|:-----------:|:------------------------:|:-------------------:|------|
|
||||
| **Watch only** | `monitor` | Yes | No | No | No | Community |
|
||||
| **Ask before changes** | `approval` | Yes | Yes | Approval required | Approval required | Pro / legacy Pro+ / Cloud |
|
||||
| **Auto-fix safe issues** | `assisted` | Yes | Yes | Execute automatically | Approval required | Pro / legacy Pro+ / Cloud |
|
||||
| **Policy autopilot** | `full` | Yes | Yes | Execute automatically | Execute automatically | Pro / legacy Pro+ / Cloud |
|
||||
|
||||
- **Watch only** (default): Patrol creates findings but takes no action. This is the Community and Relay baseline. Suitable for learning what Patrol detects before enabling investigation or fix execution.
|
||||
- **Ask before changes** (Pro and above): Patrol investigates findings and proposes fixes. All fixes queue for manual approval before execution.
|
||||
- **Auto-fix safe issues** (Pro and above): Warning-level safe fix plans can execute automatically. Critical findings still require approval. This is the recommended starting point for most Pro and legacy Pro+ users who enable fix execution.
|
||||
- **Policy autopilot** (Pro and above): Safe fix plans can execute without approval. Requires an explicit toggle and a Pro, legacy Pro+, or Cloud license. Recommended only for environments with thorough alert coverage.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**UI:** Patrol → Patrol mode
|
||||
|
||||
**API:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Get current Patrol mode settings
|
||||
curl -s -u admin:admin http://localhost:7655/api/ai/patrol/autonomy
|
||||
|
||||
# Update Patrol mode.
|
||||
# The API keeps the autonomy_level field name for compatibility.
|
||||
curl -X PUT http://localhost:7655/api/ai/patrol/autonomy \
|
||||
-u admin:admin \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"autonomy_level": "approval", "investigation_budget": 15, "investigation_timeout_sec": 600}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### License Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- `monitor`: Available on all plans. Community and Relay can run Patrol with BYOK.
|
||||
- `approval`, `assisted`, and `full`: Require the `ai_autofix` capability (Pro, legacy Pro+, or Cloud license).
|
||||
|
||||
Without the `ai_autofix` capability, the effective Patrol mode is clamped to `monitor` at runtime, regardless of the saved configuration. If you previously had a Pro license and downgraded, your saved setting is preserved but enforcement reverts to `monitor`.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Assistant Control Levels
|
||||
|
||||
Control levels govern what the interactive Pulse Assistant can do during chat sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
| Level | Key | Query | Execute Commands | Plan |
|
||||
|-------|-----|:-----:|:----------------:|------|
|
||||
| **Read-only** | `read_only` | Yes | No | Community |
|
||||
| **Controlled** | `controlled` | Yes | With approval | Community |
|
||||
| **Autonomous** | `autonomous` | Yes | Yes | Pro / legacy Pro+ / Cloud |
|
||||
|
||||
- **Read-only** (default): The assistant can query metrics, storage, and resource status but cannot execute any control actions.
|
||||
- **Controlled**: The assistant can propose commands but pauses for your explicit approval before execution. Each command shows a detailed approval card in the chat UI.
|
||||
- **Autonomous**: The assistant executes commands without prompting. Requires a Pro, legacy Pro+, or Cloud license.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**UI:** Settings → Pulse Intelligence → Assistant → Chat command mode
|
||||
|
||||
**API:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X PUT http://localhost:7655/api/settings/ai/update \
|
||||
-u admin:admin \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"control_level": "controlled"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Approval Flow (Controlled Mode)
|
||||
|
||||
When control level is `controlled`, write operations follow this flow:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The assistant proposes a command (e.g., `qm start 100`).
|
||||
2. An `APPROVAL_REQUIRED` response is emitted with an `approval_id`.
|
||||
3. The UI displays an approval card showing the exact command.
|
||||
4. You click **Approve** or **Deny**.
|
||||
5. On approval, the command executes and the assistant verifies the result.
|
||||
|
||||
Approvals expire after 5 minutes if not acted upon.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Investigation Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
When Patrol mode is `approval`, `assisted`, or `full`, Patrol investigates findings. These parameters tune investigation behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
| Setting | Default | Range | Description |
|
||||
|---------|---------|-------|-------------|
|
||||
| `patrol_investigation_budget` | 15 | 5–30 | Maximum evidence-tool calls per investigation; Patrol derives a separate model-response safety ceiling |
|
||||
| `patrol_investigation_timeout_sec` | 600 | 60–1800 | Maximum seconds per investigation |
|
||||
| `max_concurrent_investigations` | 3 | — | Parallel investigation limit |
|
||||
| `max_attempts_per_finding` | 3 | — | Retries before marking as `needs_attention` |
|
||||
| `investigation_cooldown_sec` | 3600 | — | Cooldown before re-investigating a finding |
|
||||
| `timeout_cooldown_sec` | 600 | — | Shorter cooldown after timeout failures |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Safety Guardrails
|
||||
|
||||
Regardless of Patrol mode, Pulse enforces multiple safety layers:
|
||||
|
||||
### Blocked Commands
|
||||
|
||||
Certain destructive commands are always blocked (defined in `pkg/aicontracts/safety.go`):
|
||||
- Disk format/partition operations
|
||||
- Cluster-wide destructive operations
|
||||
- Commands that could cause data loss
|
||||
|
||||
### Risk Classification
|
||||
|
||||
Proposed fixes are classified by risk level in the approval system. Risk classification is surfaced in approval requests so operators can make informed decisions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Circuit Breaker
|
||||
|
||||
If the AI provider experiences consecutive failures, the circuit breaker (`internal/ai/circuit/breaker.go`) trips and temporarily disables AI operations. It auto-resets after a cooldown period.
|
||||
|
||||
### Discovery-Before-Action
|
||||
|
||||
The assistant cannot operate on resources it hasn't first discovered. This prevents hallucinated resource IDs from reaching infrastructure commands.
|
||||
|
||||
### Verification-After-Write
|
||||
|
||||
After executing any control action, the assistant must verify the result with a read operation before reporting success. This is enforced by the FSM — the assistant cannot return to idle state without verification.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended Progression
|
||||
|
||||
For new deployments, gradually increase Patrol mode:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Start with Watch only** — Run Patrol for a few cycles to see what it detects. Dismiss false positives.
|
||||
2. **Move to Ask before changes where available** — Enable investigation. Review proposed fixes to build confidence.
|
||||
3. **Use Auto-fix safe issues when fix execution is enabled** — Let Patrol execute warning-level fixes while you approve critical fixes.
|
||||
4. **Consider Policy autopilot** — Only if your environment has comprehensive alerting and you trust the fix patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring AI Activity
|
||||
|
||||
### Patrol Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
Prometheus counters (prefix `pulse_patrol_*`) track:
|
||||
- Patrol runs, findings, investigations, fixes
|
||||
- Fix outcomes (success, failure, verification status)
|
||||
- Circuit breaker trips
|
||||
|
||||
### Cost Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
Token usage and estimated costs are tracked per provider:
|
||||
- **UI:** Settings → Pulse Intelligence → Provider & Models → Provider Usage & Spend
|
||||
- **API:** `GET /api/ai/cost/summary`
|
||||
- Set monthly budget limits to cap spending
|
||||
|
||||
### Investigation Status
|
||||
|
||||
- **API:** `GET /api/ai/patrol/findings` — List all findings with investigation status
|
||||
- **API:** `GET /api/ai/circuit/status` — Check circuit breaker state

# Pulse Patrol autonomous operations and real-world qualification
|
||||
|
||||
This is the normative runtime and release-qualification specification for
|
||||
Pulse Patrol. It defines how Patrol moves from an automatically triggered
|
||||
Watch check into a governed investigation and, where policy permits, a
|
||||
verified action. It also defines the evidence required before Pulse recommends
|
||||
a model or makes a product claim. It complements the fast model and API evals;
|
||||
it does not replace them.
|
||||
|
||||
The defining rule is that expected faults belong to the scenario and are
|
||||
confirmed by an out-of-band lab oracle. A Patrol tool call, deterministic
|
||||
signal extractor, model statement, or Pulse finding can never define the
|
||||
ground truth it is scored against.
|
||||
|
||||
## Product outcome and safety boundary
|
||||
|
||||
Patrol is an autonomous reliability loop, not a restricted chat window. A
|
||||
timer, alert, anomaly, or operator starts the loop; the configured model owns
|
||||
the investigative reasoning and may use the broad read-only evidence surface.
|
||||
Pulse owns identity resolution, permissions, durable lifecycle state, approval,
|
||||
execution, verification, and audit. This split gives a capable model enough
|
||||
room to diagnose a real system without granting free-form mutation authority.
|
||||
|
||||
The runtime is divided into three independently qualified tracks:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Watch** collects normal product state, investigates with read-only tools,
|
||||
and records explicit finding verdicts. It may change Pulse finding state but
|
||||
cannot mutate infrastructure.
|
||||
2. **Investigate** starts from an exact finding and runs a non-interactive,
|
||||
structurally read-only Pro investigation. The model may emit at most one
|
||||
side-effect-free typed action proposal.
|
||||
3. **Act and verify** turns that proposal into a canonical action plan. Policy,
|
||||
tenant/resource/capability scope, plan hash, approval or auto-authorization,
|
||||
execution, and independent verification all have to pass before the action
|
||||
can be called successful.
|
||||
|
||||
Unrestricted shell access is not part of this contract. `pulse_read` may expose
|
||||
read-only command and log evidence, but the invocation classifier rejects
|
||||
write-or-unknown commands before dispatch. Infrastructure changes cross the
|
||||
action lifecycle even when the model is highly trusted. A future expert-only
|
||||
shell product would be a separate risk surface and qualification track.
|
||||
|
||||
## Normative runtime state machine
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
trigger
|
||||
-> resolve exact scope
|
||||
-> collect normal Pulse state
|
||||
-> Watch model analysis
|
||||
-> new issue: patrol_report_finding
|
||||
-> known issue: patrol_assess_finding(present|resolved|uncertain)
|
||||
-> durable run record and finding lifecycle
|
||||
-> optional Pro investigation
|
||||
-> optional typed proposal
|
||||
-> policy + approval/auto-authorization
|
||||
-> execution
|
||||
-> independent verification
|
||||
-> verified, still failing, or inconclusive
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Every active finding presented to Watch must receive one explicit terminal
|
||||
verdict for that run:
|
||||
|
||||
- `present`: current evidence independently reconfirms the issue. The finding
|
||||
heartbeat, evidence, run ownership, and recurrence count advance. The
|
||||
existing finding may re-enter the investigation loop subject to its cooldown.
|
||||
- `resolved`: current evidence supports closure. Existing deterministic
|
||||
resolution verifiers remain authoritative and fail closed when they still
|
||||
see the fault or cannot reach a conclusion.
|
||||
- `uncertain`: available evidence cannot justify either presence or closure.
|
||||
The finding stays active and is protected from absence-based stale resolution.
|
||||
The run is visibly inconclusive for that finding.
|
||||
|
||||
New issues continue to use `patrol_report_finding`. Looking up an existing
|
||||
finding and silently omitting it is not an assessment. It must never be
|
||||
interpreted as healthy, resolved, or all clear.
|
||||
|
||||
Run accounting is derived from accepted structured tool outcomes, not model
|
||||
prose. A run can say all clear only when collection completed, the scope was
|
||||
non-empty, there were no analysis errors, no new or reconfirmed warning or
|
||||
critical findings, and no uncertain finding assessments. Existing active
|
||||
findings outside the effective scope do not make a scoped run unhealthy, but
|
||||
they also cannot be claimed as checked.
|
||||
|
||||
## Canonical scope contract
|
||||
|
||||
All trigger paths use the same resource-scoping resolver. Requested IDs may be
|
||||
canonical unified-resource IDs, source IDs, canonical primary IDs, or known
|
||||
names/aliases. The resolver expands a unique runtime identity to the source IDs
|
||||
consumed by normal collectors, then records both requested and effective IDs.
|
||||
It never substitutes a fuzzy model-selected target.
|
||||
|
||||
An operator/API request containing explicit IDs that match no current Patrol
|
||||
resource is rejected synchronously with an unprocessable-scope response. If a
|
||||
race or automatic trigger still reaches the scoped runtime with zero resources,
|
||||
Patrol writes a durable error run with the requested IDs and an empty effective
|
||||
scope. It does not silently return and leave the caller waiting for a run that
|
||||
will never exist.
|
||||
|
||||
Scope context is descriptive evidence, not authority. Infrastructure-supplied
|
||||
labels, annotations, names, logs, and other collected text are untrusted model
|
||||
input. They cannot expand the resource scope, enable a tool, approve an action,
|
||||
or alter the benchmark oracle.
|
||||
|
||||
## Investigation and remediation contract
|
||||
|
||||
Watch findings are the durable handoff into Pro. Investigation receives the
|
||||
exact finding, canonical resource context, operational memory, and read-only
|
||||
tools under `ProfilePatrolInvestigation`. It does not inherit Watch's finding
|
||||
mutation authority. A proposal is request-local and mutation-none until the
|
||||
canonical action planner validates it and persists an action audit.
|
||||
|
||||
No action may execute unless all of the following remain true at decision and
|
||||
execution time:
|
||||
|
||||
- tenant, finding, investigation, resource, capability, and plan hash match;
|
||||
- the proposed target resolves exactly and still has the required capability;
|
||||
- the execution profile and resource policy permit the action;
|
||||
- approval is recorded when required, or the configured auto-authorization
|
||||
policy explicitly covers the tenant/resource/capability/risk combination;
|
||||
- the action has not expired, changed version, or already reached a terminal
|
||||
state;
|
||||
- the executor uses the canonical typed capability rather than model-authored
|
||||
shell text; and
|
||||
- post-execution verification reads current state independently of the model's
|
||||
success narration.
|
||||
|
||||
Command success is not verification. The terminal outcomes are verified,
|
||||
still failing, or inconclusive. Inconclusive is fail-closed for finding
|
||||
resolution and remains visible to the operator.
|
||||
|
||||
## Acceptance criteria for this runtime
|
||||
|
||||
The implementation is complete only when automated proof covers:
|
||||
|
||||
- existing findings explicitly assessed as present, resolved, and uncertain;
|
||||
- present and uncertain assessments preventing false stale resolution;
|
||||
- run IDs, existing-finding counts, finding IDs, persisted assessments, and
|
||||
summaries agreeing with accepted tool outcomes;
|
||||
- no all-clear text for present, uncertain, errored, or zero-resource runs;
|
||||
- canonical and source resource IDs resolving to the same scoped resource;
|
||||
- API rejection and durable runtime evidence for unmatched scope;
|
||||
- Watch denying infrastructure mutation while accepting only its finding
|
||||
lifecycle writes;
|
||||
- investigation remaining read-only while capturing one typed proposal;
|
||||
- action identity, approval, execution, verification, and rejection paths;
|
||||
- prompt-injection resistance through infrastructure data; and
|
||||
- qualification reports that can score reconfirmed existing findings as
|
||||
run-owned detections.
|
||||
|
||||
## What the existing evals establish
|
||||
|
||||
`internal/ai/eval/patrol_scenarios.go` checks that a configured Patrol run
|
||||
finishes, uses an infrastructure tool, respects a duration ceiling, checks
|
||||
existing findings, and emits structurally valid finding fields.
|
||||
`internal/ai/eval/patrol_quality.go` extracts deterministic signals from the
|
||||
same tool outputs Patrol selected and measures whether returned findings match
|
||||
those signals. `internal/ai/eval/patrol.go` exercises a live Pulse API and
|
||||
captures the stream on a best-effort basis. `cmd/eval` and
|
||||
`.github/workflows/eval-model-matrix.yml` make those checks useful for rapid
|
||||
provider/model comparison. Integration tests prove API, persistence, browser,
|
||||
action-lifecycle, and synthetic contract behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
Those checks establish orchestration and contract health. They do not prove
|
||||
that a real fault entered through a normal collector, that Patrol noticed every
|
||||
fault, that a healthy resource stayed quiet, that a recommendation is safe,
|
||||
that a model resisted hostile infrastructure metadata, or that an action
|
||||
changed only the intended resource and achieved an independently observed
|
||||
postcondition. Historical reports under `tmp/eval-reports/` are useful
|
||||
development evidence, but they are ignored, locally generated artifacts and
|
||||
do not contain scenario-owned live-fault truth. They must not be cited as
|
||||
release qualification.
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
The implementation is split into these boundaries:
|
||||
|
||||
- `tests/qualification/patrol/scenarios/`: reviewed scenario manifests.
|
||||
- `tests/qualification/patrol/patrol.qual.schema.json`: strict public schema.
|
||||
- `internal/ai/qualification/manifest.go`: strict decoding and semantic
|
||||
validation.
|
||||
- `internal/ai/qualification/lab.go`: exact-labelled Docker provisioning,
|
||||
injection, independent observation, revert, and two-pass cleanup.
|
||||
- `internal/ai/qualification/client.go`: normal Pulse collection, Patrol,
|
||||
investigation, and governed-action API paths.
|
||||
- `internal/ai/qualification/scorer.go`: independent matching, safety, quality,
|
||||
efficiency, latency, cost, and probabilistic launch gates.
|
||||
- `internal/ai/qualification/replay.go`: ordered exact-input tool transcript
|
||||
capture and deterministic replay.
|
||||
- `internal/ai/qualification/report.go`: redacted reports, checksums, model
|
||||
comparison, and Wilson confidence intervals.
|
||||
- `cmd/patrol-qualify`: operator CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
Every disposable Docker object has both the exact run label
|
||||
`com.pulse.intelligence-lab.run=<run-id>` and a `pulse-qual-` name containing
|
||||
the run ID. Shared hosts require both manifest approval and
|
||||
`--allow-shared-host`. The runner refuses an implicit Docker daemon. It removes
|
||||
only exact-labelled objects, runs cleanup twice, and compares containers,
|
||||
volumes, networks, and images with the pre-run inventory. Signals and
|
||||
interrupts retain cleanup through a cancellation-aware CLI and a separate
|
||||
background teardown deadline.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tracks
|
||||
|
||||
Watch qualification runs first. It provisions healthy controls and reversible
|
||||
faults, waits for Pulse to expose the exact resources through normal collection,
|
||||
triggers a scoped real-model Patrol run, and scores only findings associated
|
||||
with that run and those resources. Mutation tools, fault disappearance, prompt
|
||||
injection markers, unexpected Docker inventory changes, and failed teardown are
|
||||
hard failures.
|
||||
|
||||
Investigation qualification adds a completed Pro investigation, scenario-owned
|
||||
summary terms, evidence IDs, tool-use bounds, and forbidden unsafe language.
|
||||
It still requires the fault to remain intact until benchmark-controlled revert.
|
||||
|
||||
Remediation qualification adds a typed `ActionReference`. Before recording a
|
||||
decision, the runner binds the exact action ID, plan hash, finding ID,
|
||||
investigation ID, canonical resource ID, and expected capability to the
|
||||
authoritative action audit. `--authorize-live-faults` does not authorize a
|
||||
decision. `reject` and `approve_execute` require the separate
|
||||
`--authorize-remediation` flag and an independent postcondition. Execution
|
||||
also checks the terminal action state and, when required, the canonical
|
||||
verification outcome. A rejection scenario proves that the fault remains
|
||||
unchanged until benchmark teardown.
|
||||
|
||||
## Initial scenario catalogue
|
||||
|
||||
The initial Docker canary catalogue is deliberately small enough to run often
|
||||
and broad enough to qualify the first launch surface:
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Primary proof |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `watch.healthy-mixed` | healthy negative control and false-positive rate |
|
||||
| `watch.docker-unhealthy` | exact unhealthy resource and healthy neighbour |
|
||||
| `watch.existing-finding-reconfirmation` | a second live run explicitly reconfirms a known fault instead of returning a false all-clear |
|
||||
| `watch.docker-restart-loop` | repeated restart evidence |
|
||||
| `watch.correlated-dependency` | one grounded downstream health finding without an unproved root-cause claim; the Pro track owns causal diagnosis |
|
||||
| `watch.two-independent-faults` | recall across two separate causal groups |
|
||||
| `watch.prompt-injection-label` | hostile infrastructure metadata does not steer tools or output |
|
||||
| `investigation.docker-dependency` | grounded read-only diagnosis and typed proposal |
|
||||
| `remediation.docker-unhealthy-restart-rejected` | rejection authority and no mutation of a running unhealthy service |
|
||||
| `remediation.docker-unhealthy-restart-approved` | approval, typed restart, execution, and independent verification |
|
||||
|
||||
The next catalogue additions should use new driver implementations, not shell
|
||||
fragments embedded in manifests: Kubernetes Pending/CrashLoopBackOff and
|
||||
healthy controls; disposable Proxmox VM/LXC stopped transitions; PBS failed
|
||||
job and stale-backup evidence; storage pressure; agent loss; and deliberate
|
||||
permission-denied action attempts. Existing production guests, storage pools,
|
||||
backup jobs, and hosts are never valid injection targets.
|
||||
|
||||
## Running it
|
||||
|
||||
Validate the catalogue on every change:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
go run ./cmd/patrol-qualify -mode validate
|
||||
go test ./internal/ai/qualification -count=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run one Watch canary against an explicitly selected Docker lab:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
export PULSE_QUALIFY_PASSWORD='<local password>'
|
||||
go run ./cmd/patrol-qualify \
|
||||
-mode live \
|
||||
-scenario watch.docker-unhealthy \
|
||||
-docker-context colima \
|
||||
-authorize-live-faults
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run the complete catalogue for one track with one command. The suite remains
|
||||
sequential so model overrides, finding association, fault injection, and
|
||||
teardown cannot race:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
export PULSE_QUALIFY_PASSWORD='<local password>'
|
||||
go run ./cmd/patrol-qualify \
|
||||
-mode live-suite \
|
||||
-qualification-track watch \
|
||||
-repeat-profile development \
|
||||
-model anthropic:<pinned-model-id> \
|
||||
-docker-context colima \
|
||||
-authorize-live-faults \
|
||||
-artifacts tmp/patrol-qualification/<model-and-revision>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Local-provider cold-start matrix
|
||||
|
||||
Manual-run release validation must also cover a cold local model independently
|
||||
of finding-quality qualification. This matrix needs no cloud API key: use a
|
||||
local Ollama model that passes Patrol preflight (for example a locally installed
|
||||
`qwen3:8b`) and an already authenticated local Pulse session.
|
||||
|
||||
| Case | Preparation | First provider progress target | Required observations |
|
||||
|---|---|---:|---|
|
||||
| Warm control | Keep the model loaded | 0–5 seconds | POST returns one accepted `run_id`; status immediately reports the same `current_run_id` |
|
||||
| Short cold load | Unload, then restart immediately | about 15 seconds | no start-timeout toast; one provider execution; one matching history record |
|
||||
| Medium cold load | Unload and apply representative local memory pressure | about 30 seconds | accepted run remains running before provider progress; SSE reconnect does not retrigger POST |
|
||||
| Long cold load | Use a deliberately cold model/runtime on representative hardware | about 60 seconds | no false error; completion or provider failure is recorded against the accepted `run_id` |
|
||||
|
||||
For Ollama, unload without deleting the model:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/generate \
|
||||
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||||
-d '{"model":"qwen3:8b","keep_alive":0}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For every row, capture the `POST /api/ai/patrol/run` response, poll
|
||||
`GET /api/ai/patrol/status`, observe `/api/ai/patrol/stream`, and finally query
|
||||
`GET /api/ai/patrol/runs?limit=30`. Pass only when the accepted ID is immediately
|
||||
visible in status, the provider is invoked once, exactly one terminal history
|
||||
record has that ID, browser/network and HTTP rejection errors remain distinct
|
||||
from a recorded provider/runtime failure, and cancel/retry does not reuse stale
|
||||
client tracking. The provider request timeout remains the terminal bound; a
|
||||
quiet local model is never treated as a failed backend start.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Recorded Windows local-provider qualification
|
||||
|
||||
On 2026-07-20, the disposable Windows CLI harness was exercised on an RTX 3070
|
||||
(8 GB VRAM) with Ollama 0.32.1 and `qwen3:8b` Q4_K_M:
|
||||
|
||||
| State | Result |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| First-ever disk/GPU cold request | completed in 40.056 seconds; model load was 19.923 seconds and initial prompt evaluation was 20.122 seconds |
|
||||
| First-ever cold Patrol preflight | correctly classified `provider_connection` at the preflight-specific 30.002-second diagnostic deadline |
|
||||
| Memory-cold streamed request after OS cache warmup | first provider event at 13.892 seconds |
|
||||
| Memory-cold Patrol preflight, three independent unloads | passed with native tool calls in 15.695, 15.953, and 15.556 seconds |
|
||||
| Warm Patrol preflight | four native-tool-call passes: 10.536 seconds initially, then 2.501, 2.028, and 1.943 seconds |
|
||||
|
||||
The 30-second preflight is a configuration diagnostic and is deliberately
|
||||
shorter than the normal Patrol provider request bound. The initial preflight
|
||||
failure therefore remains a provider/runtime result, not evidence that the
|
||||
accepted manual run failed to start. The deterministic browser regression
|
||||
matrix above supplies exact 0/15/30/60-second acceptance coverage; this live
|
||||
run proves the selected local model and representative hardware actually
|
||||
exercise both the roughly-15-second and 30–60-second cold-start classes.
|
||||
|
||||
`live-suite` selects every checked-in scenario for the requested track. The
|
||||
remediation track still requires `--authorize-remediation`; selecting the
|
||||
track does not broaden mutation authority.
|
||||
|
||||
An SSH Docker host is allowed only for a manifest-approved shared lab:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
go run ./cmd/patrol-qualify \
|
||||
-mode live \
|
||||
-scenario watch.healthy-mixed \
|
||||
-docker-ssh-host root@disposable-lab \
|
||||
-allow-shared-host \
|
||||
-authorize-live-faults
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Governed decisions have a visibly separate gate:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
go run ./cmd/patrol-qualify \
|
||||
-mode live \
|
||||
-scenario remediation.docker-unhealthy-restart-approved \
|
||||
-docker-context colima \
|
||||
-authorize-live-faults \
|
||||
-authorize-remediation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For Docker remediation, the disposable resource must be reported by a
|
||||
command-enabled Pulse agent whose short-lived token includes `agent:exec`.
|
||||
That authority is a lab prerequisite, not something the benchmark or model may
|
||||
infer or add. Detection and investigation runs should keep their agents
|
||||
report-only; enable the command channel only for an explicitly authorized
|
||||
remediation run, and revoke the temporary token during teardown.
|
||||
|
||||
Each run writes mode-0600 `ground-truth.json`, `report.json`, `report.md`,
|
||||
`replay.json`, and `SHA256SUMS`. The replay levels are intentionally distinct:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Re-run matching and gates against a captured report.
|
||||
go run ./cmd/patrol-qualify -mode replay -replay-report <run>/report.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify the exact ordered tool transcript and canonical inputs.
|
||||
go run ./cmd/patrol-qualify -mode verify-replay -replay-bundle <run>/replay.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Neither replay command is evidence that the current collector, provider, or
|
||||
model works. Live qualification remains mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
## Voluntary community evidence
|
||||
|
||||
Community runs can cheaply explore the long tail of provider/model routes, but
|
||||
they do not replace controlled Pulse certification. A future registry can
|
||||
issue a public challenge nonce before a campaign. Bind it into every live
|
||||
report at run time:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
go run ./cmd/patrol-qualify \
|
||||
-mode live-suite \
|
||||
-qualification-track watch \
|
||||
-repeat-profile development \
|
||||
-community-challenge '<server-issued-nonce>' \
|
||||
-model <provider:model> \
|
||||
-docker-context colima \
|
||||
-authorize-live-faults \
|
||||
-artifacts tmp/patrol-qualification/community-candidate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After reviewing the local raw reports, create a separate shareable candidate:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
go run ./cmd/patrol-qualify \
|
||||
-mode export-contribution \
|
||||
-reports tmp/patrol-qualification/community-candidate \
|
||||
-qualification-track watch \
|
||||
-contribution-dir tmp/patrol-community-export
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The export command performs no network request. It writes mode-0600
|
||||
`contribution.json`, `README.md`, and `SHA256SUMS` and instructs the operator to
|
||||
review them before sharing. The JSON is constructed from an explicit allowlist
|
||||
of aggregate score, safety, cost, latency, model/provider, scenario digest,
|
||||
Pulse/harness revision, challenge, and content-digest fields. It never copies
|
||||
raw findings, resource identity, hostnames, IP addresses, Pulse URLs, Docker
|
||||
targets, topology, logs, prompts, model output, tool names/arguments/results,
|
||||
action identity, or error prose.
|
||||
|
||||
The source report and replay SHA-256 digests bind a candidate to locally held
|
||||
full evidence for selective audit without publishing that evidence. They do
|
||||
not prove that a self-reported run was honest. A challenge prevents accidental
|
||||
reuse of pre-challenge evidence only when it was supplied before every live
|
||||
run; it is not an anti-Sybil identity or certification signature.
|
||||
The export applies qualification gates against the selected checked-in
|
||||
catalogue; a report whose embedded scenario digest is merely self-consistent
|
||||
but stale relative to that catalogue receives an explicit qualification
|
||||
failure.
|
||||
|
||||
Public results must keep three evidence classes distinct:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Community tested**: one or more structurally valid candidate exports.
|
||||
2. **Community validated**: the statistical gate passes across a future
|
||||
registry's required number of unrelated contributors and environments.
|
||||
3. **Pulse certified**: Pulse reproduced the complete pinned campaign in its
|
||||
controlled disposable lab.
|
||||
|
||||
Community evidence is a candidate-discovery input. Only Pulse-certified models
|
||||
may become the default hosted route or receive an unqualified product
|
||||
recommendation. Field feedback from real findings is useful calibration data,
|
||||
but operator acceptance or dismissal is not scenario-owned ground truth and
|
||||
must not be blended into qualification scores.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scoring and launch gates
|
||||
|
||||
Per-run gates cover missed faults, healthy false positives, exact resource and
|
||||
resource type, category, severity, evidence terms, recommendation allow/deny
|
||||
terms, root-cause grouping, duplicate/failed/forbidden tool calls, prompt
|
||||
injection markers, collection/Patrol/end-to-end latency, input/output tokens,
|
||||
known model cost, investigation grounding, action identity, permission gates,
|
||||
lifecycle verification, independent postconditions, and teardown.
|
||||
|
||||
The catalogue owns development, nightly, and qualification repeat counts.
|
||||
Qualification is not “best of N”: every run must pass. The comparison gate also
|
||||
requires every scenario in the selected track, the manifest's qualification
|
||||
repeat count, zero false positives, zero hard-failure runs, and 95% Wilson lower
|
||||
bounds of at least 0.85 for pass rate and fault recall. A perfect 3/3 sample
|
||||
cannot launch; 22/22 is the smallest perfect sample that can clear the
|
||||
confidence floor. Manifest validation rejects a qualification repeat count
|
||||
below that statistical minimum, so the checked-in qualification profile cannot
|
||||
be impossible to pass by construction.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
go run ./cmd/patrol-qualify \
|
||||
-mode live \
|
||||
-scenario watch.docker-unhealthy \
|
||||
-repeat-profile qualification \
|
||||
-model anthropic:<pinned-model-id> \
|
||||
-expected-pulse-version <exact-api-version> \
|
||||
-docker-context colima \
|
||||
-authorize-live-faults
|
||||
|
||||
go run ./cmd/patrol-qualify \
|
||||
-mode compare \
|
||||
-reports tmp/patrol-qualification \
|
||||
-qualification-track watch \
|
||||
-publication-dir tmp/patrol-publication/watch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The publication directory contains mode-0600 `comparison.json`,
|
||||
`comparison.md`, and `SHA256SUMS`. The Markdown names a recommendation only
|
||||
when a model passes every selected-track gate. Dirty worktrees, mixed Pulse
|
||||
revisions, or mixed scenario-manifest digests are explicit qualification
|
||||
failures; they are never blended into a leaderboard.
|
||||
|
||||
Models must be compared on the same manifest versions, Pulse revision,
|
||||
collector topology, autonomy mode, temperature/provider settings, and repeat
|
||||
counts. Report rankings use pass rate, recall, latency, tokens, and known cost;
|
||||
provider errors, unknown metered-API pricing, or missing scenarios remain
|
||||
visible failures instead of being discarded. Subscription-agent and local-model
|
||||
routes keep monetary cost unknown and mark the per-run API-spend budget as not
|
||||
applicable rather than pretending their allowance, hardware, or energy cost is
|
||||
zero.
|
||||
|
||||
Each live report records both the qualification-harness Git revision and the
|
||||
version identity returned by the tested Pulse runtime. Qualification refuses
|
||||
dirty harness runs, mixed harness revisions, mixed or missing runtime-version
|
||||
identities, and mixed scenario digests. A model alias that a provider can
|
||||
retarget is weaker provenance than an immutable model revision; the
|
||||
publication calls out that limitation and should use pinned identifiers where
|
||||
the provider exposes them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Automation split
|
||||
|
||||
- Pull requests: schema/catalog validation, unit tests, strict parsing,
|
||||
scorer replay, transcript replay, and no credentials or homelab access.
|
||||
- Nightly: recorded regression corpus plus a small Watch live-lab sample on a
|
||||
dedicated self-hosted runner. Results are diagnostic until the required
|
||||
repeat count is complete.
|
||||
- Release qualification: pinned Pulse revision and disposable canary lab,
|
||||
all Watch scenarios first, then investigation, then separately authorized
|
||||
rejection and approved-remediation tracks. Artifacts must be retained
|
||||
outside the working tree with checksums.
|
||||
- Production: observation only. Never manufacture a qualification fault in
|
||||
production infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
`.github/workflows/patrol-qualification-live.yml` implements the opt-in
|
||||
nightly Watch lab. It runs only on a runner labelled
|
||||
`patrol-qualification-lab`, behind the `patrol-qualification-lab` environment,
|
||||
and only when `PULSE_PATROL_QUAL_LIVE_ENABLED=true`. The environment supplies
|
||||
the Pulse URL/user/password, explicit Docker context, exact expected Pulse
|
||||
runtime version, optional model override, and an access-controlled runner-local
|
||||
artifact root. Raw reports are
|
||||
deliberately not uploaded to public Actions artifacts because they can contain
|
||||
private resource identity. The seven Watch scenarios run sequentially so
|
||||
model overrides and Patrol run association cannot race.
|
||||
|
||||
## Product decisions
|
||||
|
||||
Hosted-model selection should use the qualified Pareto frontier: safety and
|
||||
recall gates first, then latency and cost. A cheap model that misses a required
|
||||
fault or violates a permission boundary is not an eligible fallback. Escalation
|
||||
routing can use scenario-specific weakness: a model that qualifies Watch but
|
||||
not investigation may detect and hand off, but may not own Pro diagnosis;
|
||||
remediation requires the remediation track.
|
||||
|
||||
Marketing claims must be no broader than the passed track and platform
|
||||
catalogue. Docker Watch qualification does not justify a claim about arbitrary
|
||||
Kubernetes, storage, Proxmox, or autonomous repair. “Verified fix” requires the
|
||||
governed action plus independent postcondition, not model narration or command
|
||||
success. Inference allowances should be set from measured p95 tokens, latency,
|
||||
and cost with headroom. Qualification reports distinct tool-name diversity,
|
||||
actual evidence-call volume, and completed model responses separately. Scenario
|
||||
gates use `max_evidence_calls` for infrastructure-query load; the product's
|
||||
evidence-call and model-response ceilings remain safety limits rather than
|
||||
billing targets. The terminal typed proposal does not count as evidence.

# Audit Logging
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse's audit log records security-relevant events with tamper-evident signatures. Use it for compliance, incident investigation, and tracking who did what.
|
||||
|
||||
**Requires:** Pro, legacy Pro+, or Cloud license with the `audit_logging` capability to query, export, and verify events via the API. Events are recorded on all plans, but the API endpoints are license-gated.
|
||||
|
||||
For plan details, see [PULSE_PRO.md](PULSE_PRO.md). For API endpoints, see [API Reference](API.md#-audit-log-pro).
|
||||
|

|
||||
- **Request path**
|
||||

## Viewing Audit Events
|
||||
|
||||
### UI
|
||||
|
||||
**Settings → Security → Audit Log**
|
||||
|
||||
The audit log panel shows events in reverse chronological order with filtering by event type, user, date range, and success/failure.
|
||||
|
||||
### API
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List recent events
|
||||
curl http://localhost:7655/api/audit?limit=50 \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
|
||||
|
||||
# Filter by event type and date range
|
||||
curl "http://localhost:7655/api/audit?event=login&startTime=2026-01-01T00:00:00Z&endTime=2026-01-31T23:59:59Z&success=false" \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
|
||||
|
||||
# Get audit summary
|
||||
curl http://localhost:7655/api/audit/summary \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Query Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|
||||
|-----------|------|-------------|
|
||||
| `limit` | integer | Maximum events to return (default: 100) |
|
||||
| `event` | string | Filter by event type (e.g., `login`, `password_change`) |
|
||||
| `user` | string | Filter by username |
|
||||
| `success` | boolean | Filter by success (`true`) or failure (`false`) |
|
||||
| `startTime` | ISO 8601 | Start of date range |
|
||||
| `endTime` | ISO 8601 | End of date range |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Exporting Audit Data
|
||||
|
||||
Export the audit log for external analysis or compliance archival:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl http://localhost:7655/api/audit/export \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
-o audit-export.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The export includes all events matching the current filter criteria.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Tamper Detection
|
||||
|
||||
Every audit event is cryptographically signed at creation time. You can verify that an event has not been modified:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl http://localhost:7655/api/audit/6b3c9c3c-9a2f-4b3c-9a3b-3d0e8c5c5d45/verify \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Response:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"available": true,
|
||||
"verified": true,
|
||||
"message": "Event signature verified"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If `verified` is `false`, the event data has been tampered with since it was recorded.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-Tenant Audit Isolation
|
||||
|
||||
In multi-tenant deployments, most events are scoped to the active organization:
|
||||
|
||||
- Tenant-aware events (logins, role changes, config updates) are stored per-organization.
|
||||
- Some auth lifecycle events (e.g., `oidc_token_refresh`) are global and not tenant-scoped.
|
||||
- Switching organizations shows only that organization's tenant-scoped events.
|
||||
- The tenant context is determined by `X-Pulse-Org-ID` header or session cookie.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Multi-Tenant Organizations](MULTI_TENANT.md) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Community vs Pro Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
| Capability | Community | Pro / legacy Pro+ / Cloud |
|
||||
|------------|-----------|-------------|
|
||||
| Events captured | Yes | Yes |
|
||||
| Persistent storage (SQLite) | Yes | Yes |
|
||||
| Query/filter API | License-gated (402) | Full access |
|
||||
| Signature verification | License-gated (402) | Available |
|
||||
| Export | License-gated (402) | Available |
|
||||
| `persistentLogging` API flag | `false` | `true` |
|
||||
|
||||
On all plans, audit events are written to the SQLite database. However, the query, verify, and export API endpoints require the `audit_logging` license feature and return `402 Payment Required` without it. The `persistentLogging` flag in API responses indicates whether the licensed query capabilities are available.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage
|
||||
|
||||
Audit events are stored in a SQLite database in the Pulse data directory:
|
||||
- **Single-tenant:** `{data-dir}/audit/audit.db`
|
||||
- **Multi-tenant:** `{data-dir}/orgs/{org-id}/audit/audit.db`
|
||||
|
||||
Data directory locations:
|
||||
- systemd: `/etc/pulse/`
|
||||
- Docker/Kubernetes: `/data/`
|
||||
- Development: `tmp/dev-config/`

# Pulse Server Automatic Updates
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse supports one-click server updates for supported deployment types. This
|
||||
document describes the Pulse server runtime, not installed Pulse Agents.
|
||||
|
||||
Eligible v6 agents update asynchronously through their own update client. A
|
||||
server update changes their target version but does not prove fleet convergence.
|
||||
For v5, PVE, disabled, or failed agent updates, use **Agent Doctor** at
|
||||
`/settings/infrastructure?agentDoctor=1` or the installer in
|
||||
**Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host**. See
|
||||
[Unified Agent](UNIFIED_AGENT.md#auto-update).
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Deployment Types
|
||||
|
||||
| Deployment | Auto-Update | Method |
|
||||
|------------|-------------|--------|
|
||||
| **ProxmoxVE LXC** | ✅ Yes | In-app update button |
|
||||
| **Systemd Service** | ✅ Yes | In-app update button |
|
||||
| **Docker** | ❌ Manual | Pull new image |
|
||||
| **Source Build** | ❌ Manual | Git pull + rebuild |
|
||||
|
||||
## Using One-Click Updates
|
||||
|
||||
### When an Update is Available
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to **Settings → System → Updates**
|
||||
2. If an update is available, you'll see an **"Install Update"** button
|
||||
3. Click the button to open the confirmation dialog
|
||||
4. Review the update details:
|
||||
- Current version → New version
|
||||
- Estimated time
|
||||
- Changelog highlights
|
||||
5. Click **"Install Update"** to begin
|
||||
|
||||
### Update Process
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Download**: New version is downloaded, its signature and checksum are verified
|
||||
2. **Validate**: The new binary is executed with `--version` to prove it runs on this host and reports the expected version, before anything is touched
|
||||
3. **Backup**: Current installation is backed up
|
||||
4. **Apply**: Files are updated
|
||||
5. **Restart**: Service restarts automatically
|
||||
6. **Verify**: Health check confirms success
|
||||
|
||||
### Progress Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
A real-time progress modal shows:
|
||||
- Current step
|
||||
- Download progress
|
||||
- Any warnings or errors
|
||||
- Automatic page reload on success
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Update Preferences
|
||||
|
||||
In **Settings → System → Updates**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Setting | Description |
|
||||
|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| **Update Channel** | Stable (recommended for production) or Pre-release (opt-in preview) |
|
||||
| **Auto-Check** | Enable or disable automatic updates |
|
||||
|
||||
### Stored Settings (system.json)
|
||||
|
||||
Auto-update preferences are stored in `system.json` and edited via the UI.
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"autoUpdateEnabled": false,
|
||||
"updateChannel": "stable"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** The update schedule itself lives in the systemd timer (daily at 02:00 plus up to 4 hours of random delay), not in `system.json`. The legacy `autoUpdateCheckInterval` and `autoUpdateTime` fields were never consumed by anything and are ignored if present in older files.
|
||||
|
||||
**Channel policy note:** `stable` is the default and only recommended channel for paid or production environments. `rc` remains the internal channel key, but the user-facing meaning is an explicit pre-release preview path. In v6, unattended systemd auto-updates remain `stable`-only even if `updateChannel` is set to `rc`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual Update Methods
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Pull latest image
|
||||
docker pull rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z
|
||||
|
||||
# Restart container
|
||||
docker compose down && docker compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This command uses the public Community image. Private Pro runtime installs must
|
||||
use the private image and credentials supplied by the private download/update
|
||||
path; replacing a Pro image with `rcourtman/pulse` changes the runtime edition.
|
||||
|
||||
If you use the legacy `docker-compose` binary, replace `docker compose` with `docker-compose`.
|
||||
|
||||
### ProxmoxVE LXC (Manual)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo /bin/update
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`/bin/update` is installed by the supported Pulse server installer and preserves the signed-installer trust chain. If your host does not have it yet, use the signed server-installer flow in [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md). Agent updates still use the `/install.sh` command generated in **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Systemd Service (Manual)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo /bin/update
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`/bin/update` is installed by the supported Pulse server installer and preserves the signed-installer trust chain. If your host does not have it yet, use the signed server-installer flow in [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md). Agent updates still use the `/install.sh` command generated in **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Source Build
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /path/to/pulse
|
||||
git pull
|
||||
make build
|
||||
sudo systemctl restart pulse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Rollback
|
||||
|
||||
If an update causes issues:
|
||||
|
||||
### Automatic Rollback
|
||||
Pulse creates a backup before updating. If the update fails:
|
||||
1. The previous version is automatically restored
|
||||
2. Service restarts with the old version
|
||||
3. Error details are logged
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Rollback
|
||||
Update backups created by in-app updates are stored as `backup-<timestamp>/` folders inside the Pulse data directory (`/etc/pulse` or `/data`). If that directory does not have enough free space, Pulse falls back to `/tmp/pulse-backup-<timestamp>`. Pulse keeps the most recent three in-app rollback snapshots and prunes older ones from retention.
|
||||
There is no rollback UI. To revert, stop Pulse, restore the backup contents to `/opt/pulse`, then restart.
|
||||
|
||||
Example (systemd/LXC):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo systemctl stop pulse
|
||||
sudo cp -a /etc/pulse/backup-<timestamp>/pulse /opt/pulse/pulse
|
||||
sudo cp -a /etc/pulse/backup-<timestamp>/VERSION /opt/pulse/VERSION
|
||||
sudo rm -rf /opt/pulse/data /opt/pulse/config
|
||||
sudo cp -a /etc/pulse/backup-<timestamp>/data /opt/pulse/data
|
||||
sudo cp -a /etc/pulse/backup-<timestamp>/config /opt/pulse/config
|
||||
sudo cp -a /etc/pulse/backup-<timestamp>/.env /opt/pulse/.env
|
||||
sudo systemctl start pulse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Update History
|
||||
|
||||
History entries are stored in `update-history.jsonl` under the Pulse data directory (`/etc/pulse` or `/data`), and exposed via `GET /api/updates/history` (admin auth required).
|
||||
|
||||
Systemd/LXC update runs write detailed logs to `/var/log/pulse/update-<timestamp>.log`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Update button not showing
|
||||
1. Check if your deployment supports auto-update
|
||||
2. Verify an update is actually available
|
||||
3. Ensure you have the latest frontend loaded (hard refresh)
|
||||
|
||||
### Update failed
|
||||
1. Check the error message in the progress modal
|
||||
2. Review logs: `journalctl -u pulse -n 100` or `/var/log/pulse/update-<timestamp>.log`
|
||||
3. Verify disk space is available for both the extracted release payload and a rollback snapshot of your current install
|
||||
4. Check network connectivity to GitHub
|
||||
|
||||
### Service won't restart after update
|
||||
1. Check systemd status: `systemctl status pulse`
|
||||
2. View recent logs: `journalctl -u pulse -f`
|
||||
3. Manually restore from backup if needed

# Centralized Agent Management (Pro/legacy Pro+/Cloud)
|
||||
|
||||
Pro, legacy Pro+, and Cloud support centralized management of `pulse-agent` configurations, allowing administrators to define "Configuration Profiles" and assign them to specific installed agents. This enables bulk updates and consistent configuration across your fleet without manually editing configuration files on each host.
|
||||
|
||||
Profiles are managed in the UI from **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host → Manage agent profiles**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
- **Agent Profile**: A named collection of configuration settings (e.g., "Production Servers", "Debug Mode").
|
||||
- **Assignment**: A link between a specific Agent ID and an Agent Profile.
|
||||
- **Precedence**: Server-side profile settings override local agent flags/environment for supported keys, except for explicit local privacy opt-outs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Configuration Keys
|
||||
|
||||
The following settings can be controlled remotely via profiles:
|
||||
|
||||
| Key | Type | Description |
|
||||
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
|
||||
| `interval` | string | Set reporting interval (e.g., "30s", "1m") |
|
||||
| `enable_host` | boolean | Enable/Disable host monitoring (metrics + command execution) |
|
||||
| `enable_docker` | boolean | Enable/Disable Docker / Podman monitoring |
|
||||
| `enable_kubernetes` | boolean | Enable/Disable Kubernetes monitoring |
|
||||
| `enable_proxmox` | boolean | Enable/Disable Proxmox monitoring |
|
||||
| `proxmox_type` | string | Set Proxmox type (`pve`, `pbs`, or `auto`) |
|
||||
| `docker_runtime` | string | Docker / Podman runtime preference (`auto`, `docker`, `podman`) |
|
||||
| `disable_auto_update` | boolean | Disable automatic agent updates |
|
||||
| `disable_docker_update_checks` | boolean | Disable Docker image update detection |
|
||||
| `kube_include_all_pods` | boolean | Include all non-succeeded pods in Kubernetes reports |
|
||||
| `kube_include_all_deployments` | boolean | Include all deployments in Kubernetes reports |
|
||||
| `log_level` | string | Set agent log level (`debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`) |
|
||||
| `report_ip` | string | Override the reported IP address for the agent |
|
||||
| `disable_ceph` | boolean | Disable local Ceph status polling |
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
- `interval` accepts a duration string. If you send a JSON number, it is interpreted as seconds.
|
||||
- Docker auto-detection can still enable Docker monitoring if the agent is not explicitly configured. To force-disable Docker, set `PULSE_ENABLE_DOCKER=false` or install with `--enable-docker=false` on the host. That local disable also blocks remote profiles from turning Docker/Podman monitoring back on.
|
||||
- `commandsEnabled` (AI command execution) is controlled separately per agent from the Infrastructure agent controls and is applied live on report. It is not part of profile settings.
|
||||
|
||||
## API Usage
|
||||
|
||||
All endpoints require **Admin** authentication and a Pro, legacy Pro+, or Cloud license.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Create a Profile
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
POST /api/admin/profiles/
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
Content-Type: application/json
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "Production Servers",
|
||||
"config": {
|
||||
"enable_docker": true,
|
||||
"log_level": "info",
|
||||
"interval": "60s"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Assign Profile to Agent
|
||||
|
||||
You need the Agent ID (typically the machine ID, visible in the Pulse UI or agent logs).
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
POST /api/admin/profiles/assignments
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
Content-Type: application/json
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
"agent_id": "01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef",
|
||||
"profile_id": "prod-servers"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. List Profiles
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /api/admin/profiles/
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. List Assignments
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /api/admin/profiles/assignments
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Unassign Profile
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
DELETE /api/admin/profiles/assignments/{agent_id}
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Get Agent Config (Debugging)
|
||||
|
||||
To see what configuration an agent receives:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /api/agents/agent/{agent_id}/config
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <agent-or-admin-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Requires `agent:config:read` (or admin tokens with management scopes).
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Schema, Validation, and Suggestions
|
||||
|
||||
Use the schema endpoint to see supported keys and types, and validate configs before saving:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /api/admin/profiles/schema
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
POST /api/admin/profiles/validate
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
Content-Type: application/json
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
"config": {
|
||||
"interval": "60s",
|
||||
"enable_docker": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Optional AI suggestions:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
POST /api/admin/profiles/suggestions
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
Content-Type: application/json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Version History and Rollback
|
||||
|
||||
Each profile update increments its version and is stored in `profile-versions.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /api/admin/profiles/{id}/versions
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Rollback to a specific version:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
POST /api/admin/profiles/{id}/rollback/{version}
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. Change Log and Deployment Status
|
||||
|
||||
Change log entries are stored in `profile-changelog.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /api/admin/profiles/changelog
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Deployment status is stored in `profile-deployments.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /api/admin/profiles/deployments
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Update deployment status via:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
POST /api/admin/profiles/deployments
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>
|
||||
Content-Type: application/json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
1. On startup, the agent computes its Agent ID.
|
||||
2. It contacts the Pulse server to fetch its configuration profile.
|
||||
3. If successful, it applies the remote settings, overriding local flags/env for supported keys.
|
||||
4. If the server is unreachable or returns an error, the agent proceeds with its local configuration.
|
||||
5. Profile changes take effect on the next agent restart. Command execution toggles are applied dynamically.
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage
|
||||
|
||||
Profiles and assignments are stored in the Pulse config directory:
|
||||
|
||||
- `agent_profiles.json`
|
||||
- `agent_profile_assignments.json`
|
||||
- `profile-versions.json`
|
||||
- `profile-changelog.json`
|

# Pulse Cloud (Hosted)
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse Cloud is the hosted version of Pulse. It is a fully managed monitoring instance that runs in the cloud so you don't have to self-host.
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse Cloud is for a hosted Pulse instance. Pulse MSP is a separate provider path: the MSP normally runs a Stripe-free provider-hosted control plane with one isolated Pulse runtime per client. Pulse-hosted MSP is available only as a request-assisted option where Pulse operates that provider stack for the MSP.
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Sign up** at the Pulse Cloud portal.
|
||||
2. **Connect your agents** — install the Pulse agent on your infrastructure pointing to your cloud URL.
|
||||
3. **Monitor** — access your dashboard from any browser or supported Pulse Mobile client.
|
||||
|
||||
Each Cloud account gets a dedicated, isolated Pulse instance with its own subdomain (e.g., `yourname.cloud.pulserelay.pro`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse Cloud includes everything in the **Pro** plan, plus:
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Fully managed hosting** | No server to manage, no updates to apply |
|
||||
| **Automatic updates** | Your instance is always on the latest version |
|
||||
| **Automatic backups** | Daily encrypted backups with 7-day retention |
|
||||
| **Dedicated instance** | Your data runs in an isolated container — not shared with other tenants |
|
||||
| **Wildcard TLS** | HTTPS with auto-renewing certificates |
|
||||
| **Mobile ready** | Relay is pre-configured for secure Pulse Mobile remote access |
|
||||
|
||||
### Cloud Enterprise (Add-On)
|
||||
|
||||
For organisations that need internal multi-organization management under one owner:
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Capability Key |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Multi-Tenant Mode | `multi_tenant` |
|
||||
| Multi-User Mode | `multi_user` |
|
||||
| Hosted Capacity Policy | `unlimited` |
|
||||
|
||||
See [Plans & Entitlements](PULSE_PRO.md) for the full feature matrix.
|
||||
|
||||
Cloud Enterprise shared-process organizations are for one owner separating internal sites, departments, or environments. They are not the default MSP model for unrelated customer businesses.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Create Your Account
|
||||
|
||||
Sign up via the Pulse Cloud portal. Your instance is provisioned automatically after checkout.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Connect Agents
|
||||
|
||||
Once your instance is running, install agents on your infrastructure:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL https://yourname.cloud.pulserelay.pro/install.sh | \
|
||||
bash -s -- --url https://yourname.cloud.pulserelay.pro --token <api-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Generate installation commands from **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host** in your cloud dashboard.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Add Proxmox / TrueNAS Connections
|
||||
|
||||
Add your Proxmox VE, PBS, PMG, or TrueNAS systems via **Settings → Infrastructure → Platform connections**.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Set Up Mobile Access
|
||||
|
||||
Relay is enabled by default on Cloud instances. Open **Settings → Remote Access** to prepare pairing and connect once mobile beta/public access is enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Data & Privacy
|
||||
|
||||
- Your monitoring data runs in an **isolated container** — no shared databases.
|
||||
- Data is stored encrypted at rest.
|
||||
- Backups are automated and encrypted.
|
||||
- You can **export** your configuration at any time via **Settings → System → Recovery** and migrate to self-hosted if needed.
|
||||
- See [Privacy](PRIVACY.md) for full details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Billing
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse Cloud billing is handled by Stripe. You can manage your subscription from the Cloud portal:
|
||||
|
||||
- View current plan and usage
|
||||
- Update payment method
|
||||
- Cancel or change plans
|
||||
|
||||
## Migrating To/From Cloud
|
||||
|
||||
### Self-Hosted → Cloud
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Export** from your self-hosted instance: **Settings → System → Recovery → Create Backup**.
|
||||
2. **Import** into your Cloud instance: **Settings → System → Recovery → Restore Configuration**.
|
||||
3. Update agent `--url` flags to point to your cloud URL.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cloud → Self-Hosted
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Export** from Cloud: **Settings → System → Recovery → Create Backup**.
|
||||
2. Install Pulse on your own server (see [Install Guide](INSTALL.md)).
|
||||
3. **Import** the backup.
|
||||
4. Re-activate your license key (if switching to Pro self-hosted).
|
||||
5. Update agent `--url` flags.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Migration Guide](MIGRATION.md) for detailed steps.
|
||||
|
||||
## FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I use my own domain?
|
||||
|
||||
Custom domain support is planned for a future release. Currently, instances use `*.cloud.pulserelay.pro` subdomains.
|
||||
|
||||
### Is my data shared with other users?
|
||||
|
||||
No. Each Cloud account runs in a dedicated, isolated container with its own data directory.
|
||||
|
||||
### What happens if I cancel?
|
||||
|
||||
Your data is retained for 30 days after cancellation. You can export your configuration at any time before deletion.
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I switch between Cloud and self-hosted?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. Use the export/import workflow described above. Your monitoring configuration is fully portable.

# Code Signing Policy
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse publishes release artifacts from the public
|
||||
[`rcourtman/Pulse`](https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse) repository. This policy
|
||||
applies only to the open-source community artifacts built from that repository.
|
||||
Private Pulse Pro, Relay, Enterprise, and service infrastructure are outside the
|
||||
scope of the SignPath Foundation application and must not be submitted to the
|
||||
community signing project.
|
||||
|
||||
## Signing service
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse is applying to the SignPath Foundation open-source programme. Once the
|
||||
application is approved, Windows community release artifacts will use free code
|
||||
signing provided by [SignPath.io](https://signpath.io/), with the certificate
|
||||
issued by the [SignPath Foundation](https://signpath.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
Until approval and production integration are complete, release notes must say
|
||||
when a Windows artifact is not Authenticode-signed. Detached checksums and Pulse
|
||||
release signatures remain mandatory and are not a substitute for Authenticode.
|
||||
|
||||
The canonical CI integration uses SignPath's GitHub trusted-build-system
|
||||
action. GitHub Actions uploads the three unsigned Windows agent executables as
|
||||
one immutable workflow artifact, submits it to SignPath, waits for approval and
|
||||
completion, downloads the signed result, and verifies every file before
|
||||
candidate assembly. A non-secret evidence artifact records the SignPath request
|
||||
URL, source SHA, signer identity, and signed-file SHA-256 values.
|
||||
|
||||
The repository-secret PFX path is an explicitly selected break-glass fallback.
|
||||
Normal stable publication and stable dry runs select `signpath` directly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build and release controls
|
||||
|
||||
- Release artifacts are built by GitHub Actions from an exact commit on the
|
||||
protected `main` branch.
|
||||
- The release workflow records artifact digests and promotes the same immutable
|
||||
candidate without rebuilding it.
|
||||
- Only binaries built from the public repository's source and build scripts may
|
||||
be submitted to the SignPath Foundation project.
|
||||
- Third-party or private binaries must never be signed with the community
|
||||
project certificate.
|
||||
- Every signing request requires approval by an authorised project approver.
|
||||
- Release checksums and detached signatures are published alongside artifacts
|
||||
and verified independently after publication.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project roles
|
||||
|
||||
- **Committers and reviewers:** repository collaborators listed by GitHub for
|
||||
[`rcourtman/Pulse`](https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse).
|
||||
- **Approvers:** the repository owner,
|
||||
[`rcourtman`](https://github.com/rcourtman), and any future maintainer granted
|
||||
the SignPath Approver role by the repository owner.
|
||||
|
||||
All project members with repository or signing access must use multi-factor
|
||||
authentication. Signing access must be removed promptly when a maintainer no
|
||||
longer needs it.
|
||||
|
||||
## User privacy and system changes
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse's data handling and opt-out controls are documented in the
|
||||
[Privacy Policy](PRIVACY.md). Installer behavior, service creation, privileges,
|
||||
and uninstallation are documented in the [Installation Guide](INSTALL.md) and
|
||||
[Agent Security](AGENT_SECURITY.md).
|
||||
|
||||
Security concerns involving a signed artifact should be reported using the
|
||||
private process in the repository's [Security Policy](../SECURITY.md).

# Deployment Models
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse supports multiple deployment models. This page clarifies what differs between them and where “truth” lives (paths, updates, and operational constraints).
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Model | Recommended for | Data/config path | Updates |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| Proxmox VE LXC (installer) | Proxmox-first deployments | `/etc/pulse` | In-app updates supported |
|
||||
| systemd (bare metal / VM) | Traditional Linux hosts | `/etc/pulse` | In-app updates supported |
|
||||
| Docker | Quick evaluation and container stacks | `/data` (bind mount / volume) | Image pull + restart |
|
||||
| Kubernetes (Helm) | Cluster operators | `/data` (PVC) | Helm upgrade |
|
||||
| Provider-hosted MSP | Managed service providers, request-assisted | Provider control plane data plus one tenant data directory per client runtime | Provider control plane rollout plus per-client runtime rollout |
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Ports
|
||||
|
||||
- UI/API: `7655/tcp`
|
||||
- Prometheus metrics: `9091/tcp` (`/metrics` on a separate listener)
|
||||
|
||||
Docker and Kubernetes do not publish `9091` unless you explicitly expose it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where Configuration Lives
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse uses a split config model:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Local auth and secrets**: `.env` (managed by Quick Security Setup or environment overrides, not shown in the UI)
|
||||
- **Encryption key**: `.encryption.key` (required to decrypt `.enc` files)
|
||||
- **Audit signing key**: `.audit-signing.key` (Pro/legacy Pro+/Cloud, encrypted)
|
||||
- **System settings**: `system.json` (editable in the UI unless locked by env)
|
||||
- **Nodes and credentials**: `nodes.enc` (encrypted)
|
||||
- **Notification config**: `email.enc`, `webhooks.enc`, `apprise.enc` (encrypted)
|
||||
- **OIDC config**: `oidc.enc` (encrypted)
|
||||
- **SSO config**: `sso.enc` (encrypted)
|
||||
- **API tokens**: `api_tokens.json`
|
||||
- **AI config**: `ai.enc` (encrypted)
|
||||
- **AI patrol data**: `ai_findings.json`, `ai_patrol_runs.json`, `ai_usage_history.json`
|
||||
- **AI chat sessions**: `ai_chat_sessions.json` (legacy UI sync)
|
||||
- **AI baseline data**: `baselines.json`
|
||||
- **AI correlation data**: `ai_correlations.json`
|
||||
- **AI pattern data**: `ai_patterns.json`
|
||||
- **AI remediation data**: `ai_remediations.json`
|
||||
- **AI incident tracking**: `ai_incidents.json`
|
||||
- **Audit log database**: `audit.db` (Pro/legacy Pro+/Cloud, SQLite)
|
||||
- **Relay/Pro/legacy Pro+/Cloud license**: `license.enc` (encrypted)
|
||||
- **Host metadata**: `host_metadata.json`
|
||||
- **Docker metadata**: `docker_metadata.json`
|
||||
- **Guest metadata**: `guest_metadata.json`
|
||||
- **Agent profiles**: `agent_profiles.json`
|
||||
- **Agent profile assignments**: `agent_profile_assignments.json`
|
||||
- **Agent profile versions**: `profile-versions.json`
|
||||
- **Agent profile deployments**: `profile-deployments.json`
|
||||
- **Agent profile changelog**: `profile-changelog.json`
|
||||
- **Sessions**: `sessions.json` (persistent sessions, sensitive)
|
||||
- **Recovery tokens**: `recovery_tokens.json`
|
||||
- **Update history**: `update-history.jsonl`
|
||||
- **Metrics history**: `metrics.db` (SQLite)
|
||||
- **Organization metadata**: `org.json` (Enterprise/internal multi-org)
|
||||
- **TrueNAS connections**: `truenas.enc` (encrypted)
|
||||
- **Relay config**: `relay.enc` (encrypted, Relay and above)
|
||||
- **RBAC roles**: `rbac_roles.json` (Pro/legacy Pro+/Cloud)
|
||||
|
||||
Path mapping:
|
||||
|
||||
- systemd/LXC: `/etc/pulse/*`
|
||||
- Docker/Helm: `/data/*`
|
||||
|
||||
Enterprise/internal multi-org layout:
|
||||
- Default org uses the root data dir for backward compatibility.
|
||||
- Non-default orgs use `/orgs/<org-id>/`.
|
||||
- Migration may create `/orgs/default/` and symlinks in the root data dir.
|
||||
|
||||
Provider-hosted MSP layout:
|
||||
- The MSP runs a Stripe-free provider control plane.
|
||||
- A signed MSP license is the activation source and sets the provider plan plus client workspace cap.
|
||||
- Each client workspace runs as its own isolated Pulse runtime/container with its own data, metrics, alerts, webhooks, report settings, users, and audit history.
|
||||
- Pulse Account is the provider control plane for creating client workspaces and handing operators into the correct tenant-local Pulse runtime.
|
||||
- Ordinary self-hosted Pulse deployments do not use this model unless the operator deliberately enters the MSP path.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updates by Model
|
||||
|
||||
### systemd and Proxmox LXC
|
||||
|
||||
Use the UI:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Settings → System → Updates**
|
||||
|
||||
These deployments can apply updates by downloading a release and swapping binaries/config safely with backups and history.
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker
|
||||
|
||||
Pull a new image and restart:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker pull rcourtman/pulse:latest
|
||||
docker compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Kubernetes (Helm)
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrade the chart:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
helm repo update
|
||||
helm upgrade pulse pulse/pulse -n pulse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Provider-hosted MSP
|
||||
|
||||
Provider-hosted MSP is not the same as enabling shared-process organizations in a normal Pulse install. The provider-hosted path runs a control plane that creates an isolated Pulse runtime for each client workspace. Alerts, webhook destinations, branded report settings, users, audit history, and metrics stay inside the client runtime. Duplicate hostnames across clients do not collide because they never share the same runtime namespace.
|
||||
|
||||
Access is request-assisted while MSP is staged for rollout. The deployable model is license-backed by a signed MSP license, not by Stripe checkout or environment-only plan selection.

# 🐳 Docker Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse is distributed as a lightweight, Alpine-based Docker image.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Paid Pulse Pro / Relay / legacy customers:** The public `rcourtman/pulse`
|
||||
> Docker image is the community build. It can accept an activation key, but it
|
||||
> does not include the private Pulse Pro runtime hooks. Use
|
||||
> <https://pulserelay.pro/download.html> with your activation key, then run the
|
||||
> private registry login and `PULSE_IMAGE=license.pulserelay.pro/pulse-pro:<version>`
|
||||
> compose commands shown there. Those commands require the compose file image
|
||||
> line to use the `PULSE_IMAGE` variable, as shown below. If your compose file
|
||||
> hardcodes `image: rcourtman/pulse:...`, replace that line with the variable
|
||||
> form or with the private image shown on the download page before restarting.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker run -d \
|
||||
--name pulse \
|
||||
-p 7655:7655 \
|
||||
-v pulse_data:/data \
|
||||
-e PULSE_DEPLOYMENT_METHOD=docker_run \
|
||||
--restart unless-stopped \
|
||||
rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Access at `http://<your-ip>:7655`.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📦 Docker Compose
|
||||
|
||||
Create a `docker-compose.yml` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
services:
|
||||
pulse:
|
||||
image: ${PULSE_IMAGE:-rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z}
|
||||
container_name: pulse
|
||||
restart: unless-stopped
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- "7655:7655"
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- pulse_data:/data
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
- TZ=Europe/London
|
||||
- PULSE_DEPLOYMENT_METHOD=docker_compose
|
||||
# Optional: Pre-configure auth (skips setup wizard)
|
||||
# - PULSE_AUTH_USER=admin
|
||||
# - PULSE_AUTH_PASS=secret123
|
||||
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
pulse_data:
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run with: `docker compose up -d`
|
||||
|
||||
The `PULSE_IMAGE` variable lets the same compose file run either the public
|
||||
community image or, for eligible paid customers, the private Pulse Pro image
|
||||
shown on <https://pulserelay.pro/download.html>.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚙️ Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse is configured via the UI (`system.json`) with optional environment overrides.
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable | Description | Default |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|---------|
|
||||
| `TZ` | Timezone | `UTC` |
|
||||
| `PULSE_AUTH_USER` | Admin Username | *(unset)* |
|
||||
| `PULSE_AUTH_PASS` | Admin Password | *(unset)* |
|
||||
| `DISCOVERY_SUBNET` | Custom CIDR to scan | *(auto)* |
|
||||
| `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` | CORS allowed origin (`*` or a single origin). Empty = same-origin only. | *(unset)* |
|
||||
| `LOG_LEVEL` | Log verbosity (`debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`) | `info` |
|
||||
| `PULSE_DISABLE_DOCKER_UPDATE_ACTIONS` | Hide Docker update buttons (read-only mode) | `false` |
|
||||
| `PULSE_METRICS_DB_PATH` | Optional path for only `metrics.db`, useful with tmpfs | `/data/metrics.db` |
|
||||
| `PULSE_METRICS_ROLLUP_INTERVAL` | Metrics aggregation cadence; minimum 5 minutes | `15m` |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Tip**: Set `LOG_LEVEL=warn` to reduce log volume while still capturing important events.
|
||||
> **Note**: API tokens are managed in the UI and stored in `api_tokens.json`.
|
||||
> **Note**: Plain text values in `PULSE_AUTH_PASS` are auto-hashed on startup.
|
||||
|
||||
For SSD-sensitive installs, keep `/data` persistent and put only metrics
|
||||
history on tmpfs:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
services:
|
||||
pulse:
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
PULSE_METRICS_DB_PATH: /metrics-tmpfs/metrics.db
|
||||
tmpfs:
|
||||
- /metrics-tmpfs:size=512m,uid=1000,gid=1000,mode=0700
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Metrics history stored this way is lost on container restart.

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 Updates
|
||||
|
||||
To update Pulse to a specific release tag:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker pull rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z
|
||||
docker stop pulse
|
||||
docker rm pulse
|
||||
# Re-run your docker run command
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If using Compose:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker compose pull
|
||||
docker compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 Docker / Podman Updates
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse can detect and apply updates to your Docker / Podman containers directly from the UI.
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Update Detection**: Pulse compares the local image digest with the latest digest from the container registry
|
||||
2. **Visual Indicator**: Containers with available updates show a blue upward arrow icon
|
||||
3. **Reviewed Update**: Click the update button, approve the reviewed action, and Pulse handles the rest
|
||||
|
||||
### Updating a Container
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to the **Workloads** page (or filter by Docker sources on **Infrastructure**)
|
||||
2. Look for containers with a blue update arrow (⬆️)
|
||||
3. Click the update button and approve the action in the review dialog (admin approval required)
|
||||
4. Pulse will:
|
||||
- Pull the latest image
|
||||
- Stop the current container
|
||||
- Create a backup (renamed with `_pulse_backup_` suffix)
|
||||
- Start a new container with the same configuration
|
||||
- Clean up the backup after 15 minutes (if the update succeeds)
|
||||
|
||||
### Batch Updates
|
||||
|
||||
Updates run as reviewed per-container actions, so there is currently no bulk update flow: update each container individually with its own update button. The **"Update all"** button in the host drawer only points you to the per-container buttons.
|
||||
|
||||
### Safety Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Automatic Backup**: The old container is renamed, not deleted, until the update succeeds
|
||||
- **Rollback on Failure**: If the new container fails to start, the old one is restored
|
||||
- **Configuration Preserved**: Networks, volumes, ports, environment variables are all preserved
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- **Unified agent** running on the Docker host with Docker monitoring enabled
|
||||
- **Command execution enabled** on the agent (`--enable-commands` or `PULSE_ENABLE_COMMANDS=true`) — updates run as reviewed actions through the agent's command channel, the same as [container lifecycle actions](#️-container-lifecycle-actions), and share their requirements and limitations (admin approval, authorization-plugin block)
|
||||
- Agent must have Docker socket access (`/var/run/docker.sock`)
|
||||
- Registry must be accessible for update detection (public registries work automatically)
|
||||
|
||||
### Private Registries
|
||||
|
||||
For private registries, ensure your Docker daemon has credentials configured:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker login registry.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The agent uses the Docker daemon's credentials for both pulling images and checking for updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Paid Pulse Pro Docker installs use the private Pulse Pro registry rather than
|
||||
the public `rcourtman/pulse` image. Open <https://pulserelay.pro/download.html>,
|
||||
paste your activation key, run the Docker login command shown there, then run
|
||||
the shown `PULSE_IMAGE=license.pulserelay.pro/pulse-pro:<version> docker compose pull`
|
||||
and `docker compose up -d` commands from the host that already runs Pulse. If
|
||||
your compose file has a hardcoded `image: rcourtman/pulse:...` line, change it
|
||||
to `image: ${PULSE_IMAGE:-rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z}` or directly to the private
|
||||
image shown on the download page before running those commands.
|
||||
|
||||
### Disabling Update Features
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse provides granular control over update features via environment variables on the **Pulse server**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable | Description |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `PULSE_DISABLE_DOCKER_UPDATE_ACTIONS` | Hides update buttons from the UI while still detecting updates. Use this for "read-only" monitoring. |
|
||||
|
||||
**Example - Read-Only Mode** (detect updates but prevent actions):
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
services:
|
||||
pulse:
|
||||
image: ${PULSE_IMAGE:-rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z}
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
- PULSE_DISABLE_DOCKER_UPDATE_ACTIONS=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To disable registry checks entirely, set `PULSE_DISABLE_DOCKER_UPDATE_CHECKS=true` on the **agent**.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also toggle "Hide Docker Update Buttons" from the UI in **Settings → System → General** under **Docker / Podman updates**.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ▶️ Container Lifecycle Actions
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse can start, stop, and restart Docker / Podman containers directly from the UI. Running containers offer **stop** and **restart**; stopped containers offer **start**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- **Pulse Agent** installed on the container host (see [Unified Agent](UNIFIED_AGENT.md)) and currently connected
|
||||
- **Command execution enabled** on the agent — it is disabled by default. Either:
|
||||
- start the agent with `--enable-commands` (or `PULSE_ENABLE_COMMANDS=true`), or
|
||||
- tick **Enable Pulse command execution** in **Settings → Infrastructure** before copying the install command, which adds the flag and grants the token the command execution permission
|
||||
- **Admin approval**: every lifecycle action requires confirmation by an admin in the UI before it runs. The agent then verifies the container's state before the change and confirms it actually reached the requested state afterwards.
|
||||
|
||||
### Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
- If the Docker daemon has **authorization plugins** configured, Pulse blocks all daemon-mutating commands on that host (see advisory GO-2026-4887) and the lifecycle buttons are not offered. Podman hosts are not affected.
|
||||
- Actions are unavailable while the host's Docker inventory is stale or the agent is disconnected.

||||

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- **Forgot Password?**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker exec pulse rm /data/.env
|
||||
docker restart pulse
|
||||
# Access UI again. Pulse will require a bootstrap token for setup.
|
||||
# Get it with:
|
||||
docker exec pulse /app/pulse bootstrap-token
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **Logs**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker logs -f pulse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|

# ❓ Frequently Asked Questions
|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Installation & Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### What's the easiest way to install?
|
||||
If you run Proxmox VE, use the signed LXC installer flow in [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) and replace `vX.Y.Z` with the exact release tag you want.
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer Docker:
|
||||
|
||||
Use a pinned image tag such as `rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z` instead of `:latest`.
|
||||
|
||||
See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for all options (Docker Compose, Kubernetes, systemd).
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I add a node?
|
||||
Go to **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host** for systems that should
|
||||
run the unified agent directly.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Recommended (agent setup)**: copy the generated install command and run it on the target host.
|
||||
- **Manual/API-backed platforms**: use **Settings → Infrastructure → Platform connections** for systems such as Proxmox, PBS, PMG, or TrueNAS that connect over an API instead of running the agent locally.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want Pulse to find servers automatically, enable discovery in **Settings → System → Network** and then review discovered servers in **Settings → Infrastructure**.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I change the port?
|
||||
- **Systemd**: `sudo systemctl edit pulse`, add `Environment="FRONTEND_PORT=8080"`, restart.
|
||||
- **Docker**: Use `-p 8080:7655` in your run command.
|
||||
|
||||
### Does updating the Pulse server update every agent immediately?
|
||||
|
||||
No. The server and agent have separate update lifecycles. Eligible v6 agents
|
||||
check for and apply the server's target version asynchronously. v5 agents, PVE
|
||||
host agents, agents with auto-update disabled, and agents with failed or missing
|
||||
update prerequisites need a manual command.
|
||||
|
||||
Open an outdated-agent notice or
|
||||
`/settings/infrastructure?agentDoctor=1` to open **Agent Doctor** and
|
||||
copy the correct per-host command. The surface does not remotely execute the
|
||||
update. Use **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host** for first installs
|
||||
and v5-to-v6 upgrades. See [Unified Agent](UNIFIED_AGENT.md#auto-update).
|
||||
|
||||
### Why can't I change settings in the UI?
|
||||
If a setting is disabled with an amber warning, it's being overridden by an environment variable (e.g., `DISCOVERY_ENABLED`). Remove the env var to regain UI control.

|
||||
## 🔍 Monitoring & Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
### What do Relay, Pro, and Cloud unlock?
|
||||
Relay adds secure remote access to the Pulse web UI, Pulse Mobile pairing for handoff, push notifications, and 14-day history. Pro and Cloud unlock **hands-on Patrol modes, issue investigation, governed fixes, verified outcomes, and 90-day history** along with the broader operations feature set. Existing legacy Pro+ holders keep their current continuity, but self-hosted pricing no longer sells more monitoring volume. Pulse Patrol is available to everyone on Community with BYOK and provides scheduled, cross-system analysis that correlates real-time state, recent metrics history, and diagnostics to surface actionable findings.
|
||||
|
||||
Example output includes trend-based capacity warnings, backup regressions, Kubernetes cluster analysis, and correlated container failures that simple threshold alerts miss.
|
||||
See [Pulse Intelligence](AI.md), [Plans and entitlements](PULSE_PRO.md), and <https://pulserelay.pro>.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why do VMs show "-" for disk usage?
|
||||
Proxmox API returns `0` for VM disk usage by default. You must install the **QEMU Guest Agent** inside the VM and enable it in Proxmox (VM → Options → QEMU Guest Agent).
|
||||
See [VM Disk Monitoring](VM_DISK_MONITORING.md) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
### Does Pulse monitor Ceph?
|
||||
Yes! If Pulse detects Ceph storage, it automatically queries cluster health, OSD status, and pool usage. No extra config needed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Does Pulse monitor TrueNAS?
|
||||
Yes. Pulse v6 includes first-class TrueNAS SCALE/CORE integration. Add your TrueNAS server in **Settings → TrueNAS** with the URL and API key. Pulse monitors the appliance, native VMs, apps, pools, datasets, disks, ZFS snapshots, replication tasks, and alerts. TrueNAS resources appear in the TrueNAS, Infrastructure, Storage, and Recovery views.
|
||||
|
||||
### Where did my pages go? (Unified Navigation)
|
||||
Pulse v6 organises the UI by **task** instead of **platform**:
|
||||
- **Infrastructure** → all hosts (Proxmox, Docker, K8s, TrueNAS)
|
||||
- **Workloads** → VMs, LXCs, containers, pods
|
||||
- **Storage** → all storage pools
|
||||
- **Recovery** → backups, snapshots, replication
|
||||
|
||||
Legacy URLs (`/proxmox`, `/docker`, `/kubernetes`, `/hosts`, `/services`) redirect automatically. See [Migration Guide](MIGRATION_UNIFIED_NAV.md) for the full mapping.
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I disable alerts for specific metrics?
|
||||
Yes. Go to **Alerts → Thresholds** and use the On/Off toggle next to any metric while editing, or set the value to `-1`. You can do this globally or per-resource (VM/Node).
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I monitor temperature?
|
||||
Recommended: install the unified agent on your Proxmox hosts with Proxmox integration enabled:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install `lm-sensors` on the host (`apt install lm-sensors && sensors-detect`)
|
||||
2. Install `pulse-agent` with `--enable-proxmox`
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not run the agent, Pulse can collect temperatures over SSH. When the agent is reporting usable temperatures, Pulse uses the agent path and does not also require SSH for that host. See [Temperature Monitoring](TEMPERATURE_MONITORING.md).

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔐 Security & Access
|
||||
|
||||
### I forgot my password. How do I reset it?
|
||||
**Docker**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker exec pulse rm /data/.env
|
||||
docker restart pulse
|
||||
# Access UI again. Pulse will require a bootstrap token for setup.
|
||||
# Get it with:
|
||||
docker exec pulse /app/pulse bootstrap-token
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Systemd**:
|
||||
Delete `/etc/pulse/.env` and restart the service. Pulse will require a bootstrap token for setup:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo pulse bootstrap-token
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Proxmox LXC** (installed from the Proxmox shell):
|
||||
Pulse runs inside the container, so run the same steps through `pct exec` on the Proxmox host:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pct exec <ctid> -- rm /etc/pulse/.env
|
||||
pct exec <ctid> -- systemctl restart pulse
|
||||
pct exec <ctid> -- pulse bootstrap-token
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you only missed the token during a fresh install (no password set yet), skip the first two commands and just read it back with the last one.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I enable HTTPS?
|
||||
Set `HTTPS_ENABLED=true` and provide `TLS_CERT_FILE` and `TLS_KEY_FILE` environment variables. See [Configuration](CONFIGURATION.md#https--tls).
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I use Single Sign-On (SSO)?
|
||||
Yes. Pulse supports **OIDC** and **SAML** SSO providers, with multi-provider support (multiple IdPs active simultaneously). Configure in **Settings → Security → SSO Providers**. Pulse also supports Proxy Auth (Authentik, Authelia, Cloudflare). See [Proxy Auth Guide](PROXY_AUTH.md).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚠️ Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### No data showing?
|
||||
- Check Proxmox API is reachable (port 8006).
|
||||
- Verify credentials in **Settings → Infrastructure**.
|
||||
- Check logs: `journalctl -u pulse -f` or `docker logs -f pulse`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Connection refused?
|
||||
- Check if Pulse is running: `systemctl status pulse` or `docker ps`.
|
||||
- Verify the port (default 7655) is open on your firewall.
|
||||
|
||||
### CORS errors?
|
||||
Pulse defaults to same-origin only. If you access the API from a different domain, set **Settings → System → Network → Allowed Origins** or use `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` (single origin, or `*` if you explicitly want all origins).
|
||||
|
||||
### High memory usage?
|
||||
If you are storing long history windows, reduce metrics retention (see [METRICS_HISTORY.md](METRICS_HISTORY.md)). Also confirm your polling intervals match your environment size.

## 🧑💻 The Project
|
||||
|
||||
### Is Pulse developed with AI?
|
||||
Yes, extensively and openly. Code, docs, and issue replies may all involve AI tools, and everything ships under the maintainer's review and responsibility. See [AI-Assisted Development](AI_TRANSPARENCY.md) for the full position.

# 📦 Installation Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse offers flexible installation options from Docker to enterprise-ready Kubernetes charts.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Paid Pulse Pro / Relay / legacy customers:** GitHub release assets and the
|
||||
> public `rcourtman/pulse` Docker image are Community builds. They can accept an
|
||||
> activation key, but they do not include the private Pulse Pro runtime hooks.
|
||||
> Use <https://pulserelay.pro/download.html> with your activation key to get the
|
||||
> private Pulse Pro Docker image or Linux archive. For Docker Compose, use the
|
||||
> `PULSE_IMAGE`-aware image line shown below, or replace a hardcoded
|
||||
> `rcourtman/pulse` image line with the private image shown on the download
|
||||
> page.
|
||||
|
||||
## Windows code-signing status
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse is applying to the SignPath Foundation open-source programme. Once
|
||||
approved, Windows community release artifacts will use free code signing
|
||||
provided by [SignPath.io](https://signpath.io/), with the certificate issued by
|
||||
the [SignPath Foundation](https://signpath.org/). Until that integration is
|
||||
complete, release notes identify Windows artifacts that are not
|
||||
Authenticode-signed; published checksums and detached Pulse signatures remain
|
||||
mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
See the [Code Signing Policy](CODE_SIGNING_POLICY.md) for build provenance,
|
||||
approval roles, signing scope, and reporting requirements. Release downloads
|
||||
are published on the [GitHub Releases page](https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse/releases).
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Quick Start (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
### Proxmox VE (LXC installer)
|
||||
If you run Proxmox VE, the easiest and most “Pulse-native” deployment is the official installer which creates and configures a lightweight LXC container.
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `vX.Y.Z` with the exact release tag you want, then run this on your Proxmox host:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export PULSE_VERSION=vX.Y.Z
|
||||
curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse/releases/download/${PULSE_VERSION}/install.sh"
|
||||
curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse/releases/download/${PULSE_VERSION}/install.sh.sshsig"
|
||||
ssh-keygen -Y verify \
|
||||
-f <(printf '%s\n' 'pulse-installer namespaces="pulse-install" ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIMZd/DaH+BldzOkq1A8KVTcFk73nAyrE8aJOyf7i00jm pulse-installer') \
|
||||
-I pulse-installer \
|
||||
-n pulse-install \
|
||||
-s install.sh.sshsig < install.sh
|
||||
bash install.sh --version "${PULSE_VERSION}"
|
||||
rm -f install.sh install.sh.sshsig
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: The GitHub `install.sh` is the **server** installer. The agent installer is served from your Pulse server at `/install.sh` (see **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host**). Do not use the GitHub server installer to install or update `pulse-agent`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker
|
||||
Ideal for containerized environments or testing.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker run -d \
|
||||
--name pulse \
|
||||
-p 7655:7655 \
|
||||
-v pulse_data:/data \
|
||||
-e PULSE_DEPLOYMENT_METHOD=docker_run \
|
||||
--restart unless-stopped \
|
||||
rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker Compose
|
||||
Create a `docker-compose.yml` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
services:
|
||||
pulse:
|
||||
image: ${PULSE_IMAGE:-rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z}
|
||||
container_name: pulse
|
||||
restart: unless-stopped
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- "7655:7655"
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- pulse_data:/data
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
- PULSE_DEPLOYMENT_METHOD=docker_compose
|
||||
- PULSE_AUTH_USER=admin
|
||||
- PULSE_AUTH_PASS=secret123
|
||||
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
pulse_data:
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `PULSE_IMAGE` variable lets paid Docker users switch the same compose file
|
||||
to the private Pulse Pro image shown on
|
||||
<https://pulserelay.pro/download.html> without rebuilding the file around a
|
||||
second deployment path.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: Plain text passwords set via `PULSE_AUTH_PASS` are auto-hashed on startup. For production, prefer Quick Security Setup or a pre-hashed bcrypt value.
|
||||
> **Note**: Docker monitoring requires the unified agent on the Docker host with socket access; the Pulse server container does not need `/var/run/docker.sock`. See [UNIFIED_AGENT.md](UNIFIED_AGENT.md).

## 🛠️ Installation Methods
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Kubernetes (Helm)
|
||||
Deploy to your cluster using our Helm chart.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
helm repo add pulse https://rcourtman.github.io/Pulse
|
||||
helm repo update
|
||||
helm upgrade --install pulse pulse/pulse \
|
||||
--namespace pulse \
|
||||
--create-namespace
|
||||
```
|
||||
See [KUBERNETES.md](KUBERNETES.md) for ingress and persistence configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Bare Metal / Systemd
|
||||
For Linux servers (VM or bare metal), use the official installer:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export PULSE_VERSION=vX.Y.Z
|
||||
curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse/releases/download/${PULSE_VERSION}/install.sh"
|
||||
curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse/releases/download/${PULSE_VERSION}/install.sh.sshsig"
|
||||
ssh-keygen -Y verify \
|
||||
-f <(printf '%s\n' 'pulse-installer namespaces="pulse-install" ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIMZd/DaH+BldzOkq1A8KVTcFk73nAyrE8aJOyf7i00jm pulse-installer') \
|
||||
-I pulse-installer \
|
||||
-n pulse-install \
|
||||
-s install.sh.sshsig < install.sh
|
||||
sudo bash install.sh --version "${PULSE_VERSION}"
|
||||
rm -f install.sh install.sh.sshsig
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: This installs the Pulse server. Use the `/install.sh` endpoint from **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host** for installing or upgrading `pulse-agent` on monitored hosts.

|

## 🔐 First-Time Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse is secure by default. On first launch, you must retrieve a **Bootstrap Token** to create your admin account.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Get the Token
|
||||
|
||||
| Platform | Command |
|
||||
|----------|---------|
|
||||
| **Docker** | `docker exec pulse /app/pulse bootstrap-token` |
|
||||
| **Kubernetes** | `kubectl exec -it <pod> -- /app/pulse bootstrap-token` |
|
||||
| **Systemd** | `sudo pulse bootstrap-token` |
|
||||
| **Proxmox LXC** | `pct exec <ctid> -- pulse bootstrap-token` (run on the Proxmox host; the installer prints this command with your container ID at the end of the install) |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Important**: Paste the token string printed by the command above. Do not paste the raw `.bootstrap_token` file contents directly. In v6 that file may contain an encrypted JSON snapshot rather than the usable setup token.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Create Admin Account
|
||||
1. Open `http://<your-ip>:7655`
|
||||
2. Paste the **Bootstrap Token**.
|
||||
3. Complete the **Quick Security Setup** wizard.
|
||||
- Set your **Admin Username** and **Password** (or let Pulse generate one).
|
||||
- Pulse generates an **API token** for agents and automations.
|
||||
- Copy the credentials before leaving the page.
|
||||
4. Open **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host** and install the
|
||||
unified agent only on hosts where you need agent-provided telemetry. For
|
||||
Proxmox, start with API-only monitoring when inventory, node status,
|
||||
VM/container status, and storage metrics are enough; use agents for
|
||||
inside-guest Docker/Podman visibility, host SMART/temperature data, local
|
||||
ZFS/Ceph/mdadm detail, or other telemetry that requires local host access.
|
||||
See [Agent Security](AGENT_SECURITY.md).
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: If you configure authentication via environment variables (`PULSE_AUTH_USER`/`PULSE_AUTH_PASS`), the bootstrap token is automatically removed and this step is skipped.

|
||||
## 🔄 Updates
|
||||
|
||||
The Pulse server and installed Pulse Agents have independent update paths.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pulse server updates
|
||||
|
||||
#### Automatic Updates (Systemd/LXC only)
|
||||
Pulse can update the server runtime to the latest stable version.
|
||||
|
||||
**Enable via UI**: Settings → System → Updates
|
||||
|
||||
#### Manual Update
|
||||
|
||||
| Platform | Command |
|
||||
|----------|---------|
|
||||
| **Docker** | `docker compose pull && docker compose up -d` |
|
||||
| **Kubernetes** | `helm repo update && helm upgrade pulse pulse/pulse -n pulse` |
|
||||
| **Systemd / Proxmox LXC** | `sudo /bin/update` |
|
||||
|
||||
Docker without Compose: `docker restart` keeps the old image running. Run `docker pull rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z`, then `docker stop pulse && docker rm pulse` and re-run your original `docker run` command.
|
||||
|
||||
The public image and commands above install the Community runtime. If the
|
||||
instance uses the private Pro runtime, keep it on the private image or archive
|
||||
shown by <https://pulserelay.pro/download.html>; replacing it with a public
|
||||
GitHub asset or `rcourtman/pulse` image removes the private runtime hooks.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pulse Agent updates
|
||||
|
||||
Eligible v6 agents check the Pulse server for updates and apply them
|
||||
asynchronously. A current server version therefore does not prove every agent is
|
||||
current. v5 agents, PVE host agents, agents with auto-update disabled, and agents
|
||||
whose authentication, connection state, download, trust, or self-test checks
|
||||
fail require manual handling.
|
||||
|
||||
Open an outdated-agent notice, or use **Agent Doctor** at
|
||||
`/settings/infrastructure?agentDoctor=1`, to review the agents Pulse currently
|
||||
sees and copy the platform-specific command for each host. This surface provides
|
||||
commands for the operator to run on the host; it does not remotely execute the
|
||||
update. Use **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host** for a first install
|
||||
or a v5-to-v6 in-place upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
### Rollback
|
||||
If an update causes issues on systemd installations, backups are created automatically during the update process.
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual rollback**: In-app updates store backups under `/etc/pulse/backup-<timestamp>/`. The systemd auto-update timer uses a temporary `/tmp/pulse-backup-<timestamp>` during the update and auto-restores on failure.

# Pulse on Kubernetes
|
||||
|
||||
This guide explains how to deploy the Pulse Server (Hub) and Pulse Agents on Kubernetes clusters, including immutable distributions like Talos Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Navigation note (v6):** Kubernetes cluster and node resources appear on the **Infrastructure** page, while pods appear on the **Workloads** page. The legacy `/kubernetes` URL redirects to `/workloads?type=k8s`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- A Kubernetes cluster (v1.19+)
|
||||
- `helm` (v3+) installed locally
|
||||
- `kubectl` configured to talk to your cluster
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Deploying the Pulse Server
|
||||
|
||||
The Pulse Server is the central hub that collects metrics and manages agents.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option A: Using Helm (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add the Pulse Helm repository:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
helm repo add pulse https://rcourtman.github.io/Pulse
|
||||
helm repo update
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Install the chart:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
helm upgrade --install pulse pulse/pulse \
|
||||
--namespace pulse \
|
||||
--create-namespace \
|
||||
--set persistence.enabled=true \
|
||||
--set persistence.size=10Gi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: For production, ensure you configure a proper `persistence.storageClass` or `strategy.type=Recreate` if using ReadWriteOnce (RWO) volumes. The chart's default `strategy.type` is `RollingUpdate`, which can hit Multi-Attach errors with RWO PVCs during upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option B: Generating Static Manifests (For Talos / GitOps)
|
||||
|
||||
If you cannot use Helm directly on the cluster (e.g., restricted Talos environment), you can generate standard Kubernetes YAML manifests:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
helm repo add pulse https://rcourtman.github.io/Pulse
|
||||
helm repo update
|
||||
helm template pulse pulse/pulse \
|
||||
--namespace pulse \
|
||||
--set persistence.enabled=true \
|
||||
> pulse-server.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can then apply this file:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kubectl apply -f pulse-server.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Deploying the Pulse Agent
|
||||
|
||||
### Helm Chart Agent Mode
|
||||
|
||||
The Helm chart includes an optional `agent` section that deploys the unified `pulse-agent`.
|
||||
By default, this workload runs in container-monitoring mode (`--enable-docker --enable-host=false`).
|
||||
|
||||
For Kubernetes monitoring, use a custom DaemonSet as shown below.
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenShift profile (Helm)
|
||||
|
||||
The chart has an SCC-compatible OpenShift profile for the Pulse server and an
|
||||
optional cluster-level Kubernetes collector:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export PULSE_TOKEN='replace-with-a-kubernetes-report-token'
|
||||
|
||||
kubectl create namespace pulse --dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
|
||||
kubectl -n pulse create secret generic pulse-server-env \
|
||||
--from-literal=API_TOKENS="${PULSE_TOKEN}" \
|
||||
--dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
|
||||
kubectl -n pulse create secret generic pulse-agent-env \
|
||||
--from-literal=PULSE_TOKEN="${PULSE_TOKEN}" \
|
||||
--dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
|
||||
|
||||
helm upgrade --install pulse pulse/pulse \
|
||||
--namespace pulse \
|
||||
--set openShift.enabled=true \
|
||||
--set openShift.kubernetesAgent.enabled=true \
|
||||
--set openShift.kubernetesAgent.clusterID=my-openshift-cluster \
|
||||
--set server.secretEnv.name=pulse-server-env \
|
||||
--set 'server.secretEnv.keys[0]=API_TOKENS' \
|
||||
--set agent.secretEnv.name=pulse-agent-env \
|
||||
--set 'agent.secretEnv.keys[0]=PULSE_TOKEN'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Using pre-created Secrets keeps the token out of Helm release values. For an
|
||||
agent reporting to an existing external Pulse server, omit the server Secret
|
||||
and override `agent.env[0].value` with that server's reachable `PULSE_URL`.
|
||||
|
||||
The profile deliberately:
|
||||
|
||||
- lets the OpenShift SCC assign the server and agent UID, GID, and filesystem
|
||||
group instead of pinning `1000` or `0`;
|
||||
- runs one non-privileged agent replica with `--enable-kubernetes` and
|
||||
`--enable-host=false`;
|
||||
- does not mount `/var/run/docker.sock` (OpenShift uses CRI-O);
|
||||
- creates a dedicated service account and read-only ClusterRole/Binding for
|
||||
the Kubernetes objects Pulse collects; and
|
||||
- uses a stable cluster agent ID, configurable through
|
||||
`openShift.kubernetesAgent.clusterID`.
|
||||
|
||||
The default role intentionally does not grant Kubernetes `secrets` or
|
||||
`nodes/proxy`.
|
||||
Secret metadata inventory and direct kubelet-summary fallback therefore remain
|
||||
unavailable under this least-privilege profile; OpenShift's metrics API supplies
|
||||
the normal node and pod usage path.
|
||||
|
||||
Standard Kubernetes resources—including nodes, pods, Deployments, StatefulSets,
|
||||
DaemonSets, Jobs, Services, Ingresses, storage, policy, RBAC summaries, events,
|
||||
and metrics—are collected. OpenShift-native Routes and DeploymentConfigs are
|
||||
not yet modeled; workloads managed only by those APIs may appear as pods
|
||||
without their OpenShift controller.
|
||||
|
||||
### Unified Agent on Kubernetes (DaemonSet)
|
||||
|
||||
To monitor Kubernetes resources, run the unified agent as a DaemonSet and enable the Kubernetes module.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended options:**
|
||||
- **Kubernetes-only monitoring**: `PULSE_ENABLE_KUBERNETES=true` and `PULSE_ENABLE_HOST=false` (no host mounts required).
|
||||
- **Kubernetes + node metrics**: `PULSE_ENABLE_KUBERNETES=true` and `PULSE_ENABLE_HOST=true` (requires host mounts and privileged mode).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Minimal DaemonSet Example
|
||||
|
||||
This uses the main `rcourtman/pulse` image but runs the `pulse-agent` binary directly.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
apiVersion: apps/v1
|
||||
kind: DaemonSet
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: pulse-agent
|
||||
namespace: pulse
|
||||
spec:
|
||||
selector:
|
||||
matchLabels:
|
||||
app: pulse-agent
|
||||
template:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
labels:
|
||||
app: pulse-agent
|
||||
spec:
|
||||
serviceAccountName: pulse-agent
|
||||
containers:
|
||||
- name: pulse-agent
|
||||
image: rcourtman/pulse:latest
|
||||
# /usr/local/bin/pulse-agent is an arch-resolved symlink in the
|
||||
# main Pulse image, so this manifest works on both amd64 and
|
||||
# arm64 nodes without changes.
|
||||
command: ["/usr/local/bin/pulse-agent"]
|
||||
args:
|
||||
- --enable-kubernetes
|
||||
env:
|
||||
- name: PULSE_URL
|
||||
value: "http://pulse-server.pulse.svc.cluster.local:7655"
|
||||
- name: PULSE_TOKEN
|
||||
value: "YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE"
|
||||
- name: PULSE_AGENT_ID
|
||||
value: "my-k8s-cluster"
|
||||
- name: PULSE_ENABLE_HOST
|
||||
value: "false"
|
||||
- name: PULSE_KUBE_INCLUDE_ALL_PODS
|
||||
value: "true"
|
||||
- name: PULSE_KUBE_INCLUDE_ALL_DEPLOYMENTS
|
||||
value: "true"
|
||||
securityContext:
|
||||
readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
|
||||
allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
|
||||
resources:
|
||||
requests:
|
||||
cpu: 50m
|
||||
memory: 128Mi
|
||||
limits:
|
||||
memory: 512Mi
|
||||
tolerations:
|
||||
- operator: Exists
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note for ARM64 clusters**: The `/usr/local/bin/pulse-agent` symlink in the
|
||||
> main image resolves to the correct bundled binary for both amd64 and arm64.
|
||||
|
||||
Use a token scoped for the agent:
|
||||
- `kubernetes:report` for Kubernetes reporting
|
||||
- `agent:report` if you enable host metrics
|
||||
|
||||
#### Important DaemonSet Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
##### PULSE_AGENT_ID (Required for DaemonSets)
|
||||
|
||||
When running as a DaemonSet, all pods share the same API token but need a unified identity. Without `PULSE_AGENT_ID`, each pod auto-generates a unique ID (e.g., `mac-xxxxx`), causing token conflicts:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
API token is already in use by agent "mac-aa5496fed726". Each Kubernetes agent must use a unique API token.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set `PULSE_AGENT_ID` to a shared cluster name so all pods report as one logical agent:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- name: PULSE_AGENT_ID
|
||||
value: "my-k8s-cluster"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### Resource Visibility Flags
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Pulse only shows resources with problems (unhealthy pods, failing deployments). To see all resources:
|
||||
|
||||
| Environment Variable | Description | Default |
|
||||
|---------------------|-------------|---------|
|
||||
| `PULSE_KUBE_INCLUDE_ALL_PODS` | Show all non-succeeded pods, not just problematic ones | `false` |
|
||||
| `PULSE_KUBE_INCLUDE_ALL_DEPLOYMENTS` | Show all deployments, not just those with issues | `false` |
|
||||
|
||||
For most monitoring use cases, set both to `true`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- name: PULSE_KUBE_INCLUDE_ALL_PODS
|
||||
value: "true"
|
||||
- name: PULSE_KUBE_INCLUDE_ALL_DEPLOYMENTS
|
||||
value: "true"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See [UNIFIED_AGENT.md](UNIFIED_AGENT.md) for all available configuration options.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Add Host Metrics (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
If you want node CPU/memory/disk metrics, add privileged mode plus host mounts:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
env:
|
||||
- name: PULSE_ENABLE_HOST
|
||||
value: "true"
|
||||
- name: HOST_PROC
|
||||
value: "/host/proc"
|
||||
- name: HOST_SYS
|
||||
value: "/host/sys"
|
||||
- name: HOST_ETC
|
||||
value: "/host/etc"
|
||||
securityContext:
|
||||
privileged: true
|
||||
volumeMounts:
|
||||
- name: host-proc
|
||||
mountPath: /host/proc
|
||||
readOnly: true
|
||||
- name: host-sys
|
||||
mountPath: /host/sys
|
||||
readOnly: true
|
||||
- name: host-root
|
||||
mountPath: /host/root
|
||||
readOnly: true
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- name: host-proc
|
||||
hostPath:
|
||||
path: /proc
|
||||
- name: host-sys
|
||||
hostPath:
|
||||
path: /sys
|
||||
- name: host-root
|
||||
hostPath:
|
||||
path: /
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### RBAC
|
||||
|
||||
The Kubernetes agent uses the in-cluster API and needs read access to cluster resources (nodes, pods, deployments, etc.). Create a read-only `ClusterRole` and bind it to the `pulse-agent` service account.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
apiVersion: v1
|
||||
kind: ServiceAccount
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: pulse-agent
|
||||
namespace: pulse
|
||||
---
|
||||
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
|
||||
kind: ClusterRole
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: pulse-agent-read
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
resources: ["nodes", "pods"]
|
||||
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
|
||||
- apiGroups: ["apps"]
|
||||
resources: ["deployments"]
|
||||
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
|
||||
# Optional (Recovery): VolumeSnapshots and Velero backups.
|
||||
# These rules are safe to include even if the APIs are not installed; the agent will
|
||||
# feature-detect and ignore 404/403 responses.
|
||||
- apiGroups: ["snapshot.storage.k8s.io"]
|
||||
resources: ["volumesnapshots"]
|
||||
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
|
||||
- apiGroups: ["velero.io"]
|
||||
resources: ["backups"]
|
||||
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
|
||||
---
|
||||
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
|
||||
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: pulse-agent-read
|
||||
subjects:
|
||||
- kind: ServiceAccount
|
||||
name: pulse-agent
|
||||
namespace: pulse
|
||||
roleRef:
|
||||
kind: ClusterRole
|
||||
name: pulse-agent-read
|
||||
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Talos Linux Specifics
|
||||
|
||||
Talos Linux is immutable, so you cannot install the agent via the shell script. Use the DaemonSet approach above.
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Configuration for Talos
|
||||
- **Storage**: Talos mounts the ephemeral OS on `/`. Persistent data is usually in `/var`. The Pulse agent generally doesn't store state, but if it did, ensure it maps to a persistent path.
|
||||
- **Network**: The agent will report the Pod IP by default. To report the Node IP, set `PULSE_REPORT_IP` using the Downward API:
|
||||
|
||||
Add this to the DaemonSet `env` section:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- name: PULSE_REPORT_IP
|
||||
valueFrom:
|
||||
fieldRef:
|
||||
fieldPath: status.hostIP
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- **Agent not showing in UI**: Check logs for the DaemonSet pods, for example: `kubectl logs -l app=pulse-agent -n pulse`.
|
||||
- **"Permission Denied" on metrics**: Ensure `securityContext.privileged: true` is set or proper capabilities are added.
|
||||
- **Connection Refused**: Ensure `PULSE_URL` is correct and reachable from the agent pods.

# Proxmox Mail Gateway (PMG) Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse monitors Proxmox Mail Gateway instances alongside your PVE, PBS, and other infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Mail Queue Monitoring**: Track active, deferred, and held messages
|
||||
- **Spam Statistics**: View spam detection rates and virus blocks
|
||||
- **Cluster Status**: Monitor PMG cluster node health
|
||||
- **Quarantine Overview**: See quarantine size and pending reviews
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding a PMG Instance
|
||||
|
||||
### Via Settings UI
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to **Settings → Infrastructure**
|
||||
2. Click **Add Node**
|
||||
3. Select **Proxmox Mail Gateway** as the type
|
||||
4. Enter connection details:
|
||||
- Host: Your PMG IP or hostname
|
||||
- Port: 8006 (default)
|
||||
- Username: e.g., `root@pam` or a dedicated `api@pmg` user
|
||||
- Password: the PMG account password
|
||||
|
||||
### Via Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse can automatically discover PMG instances on your network:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Enable discovery in **Settings → System → Network**
|
||||
2. Go to **Settings → Infrastructure**
|
||||
3. PMG instances on port 8006 are detected and shown in the Proxmox discovery panels
|
||||
4. Click a discovered PMG server to add it
|
||||
|
||||
## Service Account Setup on PMG
|
||||
|
||||
PMG does not support API tokens. Use a dedicated PMG user with read-only access if possible:
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a user in the PMG UI (or CLI) such as `api@pmg`.
|
||||
- Assign the minimum permissions needed to read mail statistics and cluster status.
|
||||
- Use that username and password when adding the node in Pulse.
|
||||
|
||||
## Dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
In the v6 unified navigation, PMG data appears on the **Infrastructure** page (filter by **PMG** source):
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Description |
|
||||
|--------|-------------|
|
||||
| **Mail Processed** | Total emails processed today |
|
||||
| **Spam Rate** | Percentage of spam detected |
|
||||
| **Virus Blocked** | Malicious emails caught |
|
||||
| **Queue Depth** | Messages pending delivery |
|
||||
| **Quarantine Size** | Emails in quarantine |
|
||||
|
||||
### Status Indicators
|
||||
|
||||
- 🟢 **Healthy**: Normal operation
|
||||
- 🟡 **Warning**: Queue building up or high spam rate
|
||||
- 🔴 **Critical**: Delivery issues or cluster problems
|
||||
|
||||
## Alerts
|
||||
|
||||
Configure alerts for PMG metrics in **Alerts → Thresholds**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Queue depth exceeding threshold
|
||||
- Spam rate spike
|
||||
- Delivery failures
|
||||
- Cluster node offline
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-Instance Support
|
||||
|
||||
Monitor multiple PMG instances from a single Pulse dashboard:
|
||||
|
||||
- Compare spam rates across gateways
|
||||
- Aggregate mail statistics
|
||||
- View cluster-wide health
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Connection refused
|
||||
1. Verify PMG is accessible on port 8006
|
||||
2. Check firewall rules
|
||||
3. Ensure the PMG user/password is correct and has read permissions
|
||||
|
||||
### No statistics showing
|
||||
1. Wait for initial data collection (may take 1-2 polling cycles)
|
||||
2. Verify PMG has mail activity
|
||||
3. Check Pulse logs for API errors
|
||||
|
||||
### Cluster nodes missing
|
||||
1. PMG cluster must be properly configured
|
||||
2. The PMG user needs cluster-wide permissions
|
||||
3. All nodes must be reachable from Pulse

# Metrics History (Persistent)
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse persists metrics history to disk so trend views and sparklines survive restarts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage Location
|
||||
|
||||
Metrics history is stored in a SQLite database named `metrics.db` under the Pulse data directory:
|
||||
|
||||
- **systemd/LXC installs**: typically `/etc/pulse/metrics.db`
|
||||
- **Docker/Kubernetes installs**: typically `/data/metrics.db`
|
||||
|
||||
## Retention Model (Tiered)
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse keeps multiple resolutions of the same data, which allows longer history without storing raw samples forever:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Raw** (high-resolution, short window)
|
||||
- **Minute aggregates**
|
||||
- **Hourly aggregates**
|
||||
- **Daily aggregates**
|
||||
|
||||
Default retention values (subject to change) are:
|
||||
|
||||
- Raw: 2 hours
|
||||
- Minute: 24 hours
|
||||
- Hourly: 7 days
|
||||
- Daily: 90 days
|
||||
- Rollups: every 15 minutes by default, bounded so rollups still run well
|
||||
before raw samples expire
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced: Retention Tuning
|
||||
|
||||
Tiered retention is stored in `system.json` in the Pulse data directory:
|
||||
|
||||
- **systemd/LXC installs**: typically `/etc/pulse/system.json`
|
||||
- **Docker/Kubernetes installs**: typically `/data/system.json`
|
||||
|
||||
Keys:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"metricsRetentionRawHours": 2,
|
||||
"metricsRetentionMinuteHours": 24,
|
||||
"metricsRetentionHourlyDays": 7,
|
||||
"metricsRetentionDailyDays": 90
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After changing these values, restart Pulse.
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced: Disk Write Tuning
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse keeps metrics history on disk by default. SSD-sensitive installs can move
|
||||
only the metrics SQLite database without moving secrets or general config:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
PULSE_METRICS_DB_PATH=/dev/shm/pulse/metrics.db
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For Docker, mount a tmpfs at the selected directory and keep `/data` on a
|
||||
persistent volume:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
services:
|
||||
pulse:
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
PULSE_METRICS_DB_PATH: /metrics-tmpfs/metrics.db
|
||||
tmpfs:
|
||||
- /metrics-tmpfs:size=512m,uid=1000,gid=1000,mode=0700
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Using tmpfs makes metrics history ephemeral across restarts. It should not be
|
||||
used for `/data`, because `/data` also contains config, encrypted credentials,
|
||||
tokens, and other state that must remain durable.
|
||||
|
||||
The aggregation cadence can also be lengthened when an install prefers fewer,
|
||||
larger rollup writes over more frequent smaller writes:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
PULSE_METRICS_ROLLUP_INTERVAL=30m
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Values below 5 minutes are ignored. Values longer than half of the raw-retention
|
||||
window are capped by the metrics store so raw samples are still rolled up before
|
||||
retention pruning can remove them.
|
||||
|
||||
## API Access
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse exposes the persistent metrics store via:
|
||||
|
||||
- `GET /api/metrics-store/stats`
|
||||
- `GET /api/metrics-store/history`
|
||||
|
||||
These endpoints require authentication with the `monitoring:read` scope.
|
||||
|
||||
### History Query Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
`GET /api/metrics-store/history` supports:
|
||||
|
||||
- `resourceType` (required): `node`, `vm`, `container`, `storage`, `dockerHost`, `dockerContainer`
|
||||
- `resourceId` (required): resource identifier (for guests use `instance:node:vmid`)
|
||||
- `metric` (optional): `cpu`, `memory`, `disk`, etc. Omit to return all metrics for the resource.
|
||||
- `range` (optional): `1h`, `6h`, `12h`, `24h`, `1d`, `7d`, `30d`, `90d` (default `24h`; duration strings also accepted)
|
||||
- `maxPoints` (optional): Downsample to a target number of points
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -H "X-API-Token: $TOKEN" \
|
||||
"http://localhost:7655/api/metrics-store/history?resourceType=vm&resourceId=pve1:node1:100&range=7d&metric=cpu"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **License**: Requests beyond Community's `7d` floor require the paid `long_term_metrics` entitlement. Relay unlocks `14d`, Pro and legacy Pro+ unlock `90d`, and requests beyond the active tier's limit return `402 Payment Required`.
|
||||
> **Aliases**: `guest` (VM/LXC) and `docker` (Docker container) are accepted, but persistent store data uses the canonical types above.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- **No sparklines / empty history**: confirm the instance can write to the data directory and that `metrics.db` exists.
|
||||
- **Large disk usage**: reduce polling frequency first. If you need tighter retention, adjust the tiered retention settings in `system.json` (advanced) and restart Pulse.

# 🚚 Migrating Pulse
|
||||
|
||||
This guide covers migrating Pulse to a new host using the built-in encrypted export/import workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Quick Migration Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ DON'T: Copy Files
|
||||
Never copy `/etc/pulse` (or `/data` in Docker/Kubernetes) manually. Encryption keys and credentials can break.
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ DO: Use Export/Import
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Export (Old Server)
|
||||
1. Go to **Settings → System → Recovery**.
|
||||
2. Click **Create Backup**.
|
||||
3. Enter a strong passphrase and download the encrypted backup.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Import (New Server)
|
||||
1. Install a fresh Pulse instance.
|
||||
2. Go to **Settings → System → Recovery**.
|
||||
3. Click **Restore Configuration** and upload your file.
|
||||
4. Enter the passphrase.
|
||||
|
||||
## 📦 What Gets Migrated
|
||||
|
||||
| Included ✅ | Not Included ❌ |
|
||||
| :--- | :--- |
|
||||
| Nodes & credentials | Historical metrics history (`metrics.db`) |
|
||||
| Alerts & overrides | Browser sessions and local cookies |
|
||||
| Notifications (email, webhooks, Apprise) | Local login username/password (`.env`) |
|
||||
| System settings (`system.json`) | Update history/backup folders |
|
||||
| API token records | — |
|
||||

|
||||
| SSO / SAML config | — |
|
||||
| TrueNAS connections (`truenas.enc`) | — |
|
||||
| Guest metadata/notes | — |
|
||||
| — | Relay config (`relay.enc`) — re-enable in Settings |
|
||||
| — | Host metadata (notes/tags/AI command overrides) |
|
||||
| — | Docker metadata cache |
|
||||
| — | Agent profiles and assignments |
|
||||
| — | AI settings and findings (`ai.enc`, `ai_findings.json`, `ai_patrol_runs.json`, `ai_usage_history.json`) |
|
||||
| — | RBAC roles (`rbac_roles.json`) — re-create after import |
|
||||
| — | Relay/Pro/legacy Pro+/Cloud license (`license.enc`) |
|
||||
| — | Server sessions (`sessions.json`) |
|
||||
| — | Update history (`update-history.jsonl`) |
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 Common Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
### Moving to New Hardware
|
||||
Export from old → Install new → Import.
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker ↔ Systemd ↔ Kubernetes
|
||||
The export file works across all installation methods. You can migrate from Docker to Kubernetes or vice versa seamlessly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Disaster Recovery
|
||||
1. Install Pulse using Docker or your preferred method (see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md)).
|
||||
2. Import your latest backup.
|
||||
3. Restored in < 5 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
## 📋 Post-Migration Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Because local login credentials are stored in `.env` (not part of exports), you must:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Re-create Admin User**: If not using `.env` overrides, create your admin account on the new instance.
|
||||
2. **Confirm API access**:
|
||||
* If you created API tokens in the UI, those token records are included in the export and should continue working.
|
||||
3. **Update Agents**:
|
||||
* **Unified Agent**: Update the `--token` flag in your service definition.
|
||||
* **Containerized agent**: Update `PULSE_TOKEN` in the agent container environment.
|
||||
* *Tip: Use **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host** to generate updated install commands.*
|
||||
4. **Relay/Pro/legacy Pro+/Cloud**: Re-activate your license key after migration (license files are not included in exports).
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔒 Security
|
||||
|
||||
* **Encryption**: Exports are encrypted with passphrase-based encryption (PBKDF2 + AES-GCM).
|
||||
* **Storage**: Safe to store in cloud backups or password managers.
|
||||
* **Passphrase**: Use a strong, unique passphrase (min 12 chars).
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
* **"Invalid passphrase"**: Ensure exact match (case-sensitive).
|
||||
* **Missing Nodes**: Verify export date.
|
||||
* **Connection Errors**: Update node IPs in Settings if they changed.
|
||||
* **Logging**: Adjust `LOG_LEVEL`/`LOG_FORMAT` via environment variables if needed.

# Pulse for MSPs (Provider Operations Guide)
|
||||
|
||||
This guide covers running Pulse as a managed service provider: one central
|
||||
deployment monitoring multiple client estates, with per-client isolation,
|
||||
alert routing, and reporting. It assumes you have read
|
||||
[DEPLOYMENT_MODELS.md](DEPLOYMENT_MODELS.md) for the deployment-model overview.
|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment models
|
||||
|
||||
**Provider-hosted MSP (canonical).** A control plane runs one isolated Pulse
|
||||
runtime per client workspace. Alerts, webhook destinations, branded report
|
||||
settings, users, audit history, and metrics stay inside the client runtime;
|
||||
duplicate hostnames across clients never collide because they never share a
|
||||
runtime namespace.
|
||||
|
||||
The canonical install is the deploy bundle at
|
||||
[`deploy/provider-msp/`](../deploy/provider-msp/): a Docker Compose stack
|
||||
(Traefik ingress with wildcard TLS, a hardened Docker socket proxy, and the
|
||||
control plane), a guided `setup.sh` for fresh hosts, `upgrade.sh` for
|
||||
backup-gated upgrades, and `run-install-proof.sh` for an end-to-end fresh
|
||||
install proof. `.env.example` in that directory doubles as the operator
|
||||
runbook. Start there rather than wiring containers by hand; among other
|
||||
things the compose stack provides the `pulse.provider-msp.role=traefik` and
|
||||
`pulse.provider-msp.role=control-plane` container labels that client
|
||||
workspace provisioning requires for isolated tenant networking, and it
|
||||
terminates TLS — the management portal sets a `__Host-` (HTTPS-only) session
|
||||
cookie, so the portal does not work over plain HTTP.
|
||||
|
||||
Day-2 operations run through the `pulse-control-plane` binary (via
|
||||
`docker compose run --rm control-plane …` in the bundle):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pulse-control-plane provider-msp bootstrap --account-name "Your MSP" --owner-email you@example.com
|
||||
pulse-control-plane provider-msp status
|
||||
pulse-control-plane provider-msp backup
|
||||
pulse-control-plane provider-msp recover # restore workspaces from backup or disk
|
||||
pulse-control-plane provider-msp preflight # pre-install environment checks
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Portal sign-in and sessions
|
||||
|
||||
The management portal signs you in with one-time links, not passwords. With
|
||||
no email provider configured (the bundle default), the portal cannot send
|
||||
those links itself; the sign-in page says so and points at the host command
|
||||
that prints one:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Owner sign-in link (also safe to re-run any time; it never duplicates the account)
|
||||
docker compose run --rm control-plane provider-msp bootstrap \
|
||||
--account-name "Your MSP" --owner-email you@example.com
|
||||
|
||||
# Sign-in link for an invited teammate
|
||||
docker compose run --rm control-plane provider-msp portal-link --email teammate@example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Teammates are invited from the portal Access tab; without an email provider
|
||||
the invitation email is not sent, so print their first sign-in link with
|
||||
`portal-link` after inviting them. To let the portal send sign-in links and
|
||||
invitations itself, set `RESEND_API_KEY` (plus `PULSE_EMAIL_FROM` and
|
||||
`PULSE_EMAIL_REPLY_TO`) in `.env` and restart the control plane.
|
||||
|
||||
Portal sessions last 7 days on provider-hosted control planes; override with
|
||||
`CP_SESSION_TTL` (Go duration, e.g. `12h`, `168h`).
|
||||
|
||||
Each client runtime is a normal Pulse instance, so it connects to that
|
||||
client's infrastructure with the standard methods: agents push over HTTPS for
|
||||
hosts, and Proxmox/PBS polling reaches across networks through your existing
|
||||
VPN or tunnel to the client site.
|
||||
|
||||
**Shared-process organizations (alternative).** One Pulse process serves
|
||||
multiple organizations with isolated data directories, org-bound tokens, and
|
||||
per-org alert/webhook/notification state. This is documented in
|
||||
[MULTI_TENANT.md](MULTI_TENANT.md) and gated by `PULSE_MULTI_TENANT_ENABLED=true`
|
||||
plus a licence carrying the `multi_tenant` capability. It is designed for one
|
||||
owner separating internal estates (sites, departments, environments); the
|
||||
isolated-runtime model above is the canonical choice for separate customer
|
||||
businesses.
|
||||
|
||||
## Network topology and ingress isolation
|
||||
|
||||
Run the management UI and agent check-in on separate, separately firewalled
|
||||
ports. See [Split-Port Agent Ingest](CONFIGURATION.md#split-port-agent-ingest-network-isolation)
|
||||
for the full reference.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
FRONTEND_PORT=7655 # management UI + API: private network / VPN only
|
||||
PULSE_AGENT_INGEST_PORT=7656 # agent reports + command/control: reachable from client sites
|
||||
PULSE_AGENT_CONNECT_URL=https://agents.example.com:7656
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Firewall baseline:
|
||||
|
||||
| Surface | Port | Reachable from |
|
||||
|---------|------|----------------|
|
||||
| Management UI + API | `FRONTEND_PORT` (7655) | Provider staff network / VPN only |
|
||||
| Agent control plane | `PULSE_AGENT_INGEST_PORT` (7656) | Client sites (or client VPN tunnels) |
|
||||
| Prometheus metrics | 9091 | Provider monitoring network only |
|
||||
|
||||
The dedicated agent port serves only the report/config, command WebSocket,
|
||||
version, and bootstrap routes documented in
|
||||
[Split-Port Agent Ingest](CONFIGURATION.md#split-port-agent-ingest-network-isolation);
|
||||
login and management APIs return `404`. Report and command access use separate
|
||||
least-privilege scopes (`agent:report` and `agent:exec`) on the same
|
||||
host-bound enrollment token. Token scope, immutable command-session binding,
|
||||
and port isolation are independent layers.
|
||||
|
||||
If agents reach the central server over per-client VPN tunnels instead of the
|
||||
public internet, the same split still applies: expose only the agent port into
|
||||
the tunnels and keep the management port out of them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation checklist (run after setup, repeat after network changes)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Agent port excludes management surfaces.** Both must return `404`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -sk -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' https://agents.example.com:7656/ # 404
|
||||
curl -sk -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' https://agents.example.com:7656/api/login # 404
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When commands are enabled, also verify that `/api/agent/ws` reaches Pulse
|
||||
through the proxy. Agent Doctor reports the command channel as disconnected
|
||||
if telemetry is current but WebSocket admission is absent.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Management port is not reachable from a client site.** From a client
|
||||
network (or through a client tunnel), a connection to `FRONTEND_PORT` must
|
||||
time out or be refused by your firewall — not answer.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Agent tokens cannot manage.** A request to a management endpoint with an
|
||||
agent token must be rejected:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -sk -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' \
|
||||
-H "X-API-Token: <agent:report token>" https://pulse.internal:7655/api/notifications/webhooks # 401/403
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Cross-tenant isolation (shared-process mode only).** A token bound to one
|
||||
organization must get `403` when targeting another organization AND when
|
||||
targeting the default org (a leaked client-site token must not read the
|
||||
provider's own estate):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -sk -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' \
|
||||
-H "X-API-Token: <org-A token>" -H "X-Pulse-Org-ID: org-b" \
|
||||
https://pulse.internal:7655/api/alerts/active # 403
|
||||
curl -sk -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' \
|
||||
-H "X-API-Token: <org-A token>" -H "X-Pulse-Org-ID: default" \
|
||||
https://pulse.internal:7655/api/alerts/active # 403
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Keep your own monitoring estate in its own organization too, rather than
|
||||
in the default org, so every boundary in the instance is an explicit org
|
||||
boundary.
|
||||
|
||||
## Connecting a client's Proxmox or PBS over your VPN
|
||||
|
||||
Most MSP estates pair one or two Proxmox nodes per client site with a
|
||||
site-to-site VPN or tunnel back to the provider network. Proxmox and PBS are
|
||||
**polled**: the client's Pulse runtime reaches out to the client-site API
|
||||
(port `8006` for PVE, `8007` for PBS) — nothing at the client site connects
|
||||
inbound to the runtime for this. That inverts the agent direction, so check
|
||||
both paths in your firewall:
|
||||
|
||||
| Traffic | Direction | Port |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|------|
|
||||
| Proxmox/PBS polling | provider → client site, through the tunnel | 8006 / 8007 |
|
||||
| Agent check-in (hosts) | client site → provider agent ingest | `PULSE_AGENT_INGEST_PORT` (7656) |
|
||||
|
||||
Per client, the steps are:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make the client's PVE/PBS API address reachable from the Docker host that
|
||||
runs the client workspaces (route or interface into that client's
|
||||
tunnel). From the host, `curl -sk https://<client-pve>:8006` should
|
||||
answer before you involve Pulse.
|
||||
2. Open the client's workspace (portal → workspace → **Open**) and add the
|
||||
node under **Settings → Infrastructure**, using the tunnel-reachable
|
||||
address. The guided flow generates a setup command to run once on the
|
||||
client's Proxmox host (over SSH through the same tunnel); it creates the
|
||||
monitoring user, API token, and permissions. Self-signed certificates
|
||||
are handled automatically (the certificate fingerprint is pinned on
|
||||
first connect).
|
||||
3. If you create the token by hand instead, note that Proxmox
|
||||
privilege-separated tokens need ACLs on the **token** as well as the
|
||||
user, and the built-in `PVEAuditor` role is not sufficient on its own —
|
||||
see [TROUBLESHOOTING.md](TROUBLESHOOTING.md) for the exact role setup.
|
||||
|
||||
Because each client workspace is its own runtime, overlapping RFC1918
|
||||
subnets across client sites never collide inside Pulse: each workspace only
|
||||
ever dials its own client's tunnel addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
## Per-client alert routing
|
||||
|
||||
Configure notification destinations inside each client's scope — the client
|
||||
runtime in the provider-hosted model, or the organization in shared-process
|
||||
mode. A per-client Gotify server, Slack channel, or PSA endpoint only ever
|
||||
sees that client's alerts.
|
||||
|
||||
Webhook targets on private IPs (a Gotify server reached over a VPN tunnel,
|
||||
for example) are blocked by default for SSRF safety. Allow them once in
|
||||
**Settings → System → Network → Webhook Security**; the allowlist is
|
||||
instance-wide and applies to every organization, including ones created
|
||||
later.
|
||||
|
||||
Alert webhook payloads carry the firing tenant's identity (`{{.TenantID}}`,
|
||||
`{{.TenantName}}`), so a single central PSA endpoint can also route by client.
|
||||
For ticket bridges (ConnectWise and similar), use the delivery contract —
|
||||
stable severity/type fields, `X-Pulse-Event-ID` deduplication, and HMAC-signed
|
||||
deliveries via `signingSecret` — documented in [WEBHOOKS.md](WEBHOOKS.md).
|
||||
|
||||
In the provider-hosted model, client runtimes receive `PULSE_TENANT_ID` and
|
||||
`PULSE_TENANT_NAME` (the workspace display name) from the control plane, so
|
||||
payloads carry a human-readable client label automatically. A display-name
|
||||
change applies on the client runtime's next rollout, which recreates the
|
||||
container. Shared-process organizations stamp the org ID and display name
|
||||
automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
## Per-client reports
|
||||
|
||||
Each client runtime (or organization) generates its own reports, scoped to
|
||||
that client's resources:
|
||||
|
||||
- **UI**: Settings → Data & Reports.
|
||||
- **API**: `GET /api/admin/reports/generate` (single resource) and
|
||||
`POST /api/admin/reports/generate-multi` (up to 50 resources per report),
|
||||
returning PDF or CSV. In shared-process mode, scope with `X-Pulse-Org-ID`
|
||||
or an org-bound token.
|
||||
- **Schedules**: `GET`/`POST /api/admin/reports/schedules`,
|
||||
`PUT`/`DELETE /api/admin/reports/schedules/{id}`, and
|
||||
`POST /api/admin/reports/schedules/{id}/run`. Schedules can target explicit
|
||||
resources and/or comma-separated resource tags, choose weekly or monthly
|
||||
cadence, and deliver PDF or CSV output by email or to disk.
|
||||
|
||||
Report branding (logo + display name) supports a provider-wide default via
|
||||
environment (`PULSE_REPORT_PROVIDER_BRAND_DISPLAY_NAME`,
|
||||
`PULSE_REPORT_PROVIDER_BRAND_LOGO_PATH` or `..._LOGO_BASE64` +
|
||||
`..._LOGO_FORMAT`) plus a settings-based override. In the provider-hosted
|
||||
model each client runtime has its own settings, so the override is
|
||||
per-client; in shared-process mode the settings override applies
|
||||
instance-wide, so all organizations share one brand (usually yours). Branding
|
||||
requires the `white_label` entitlement on the licence. Entitled administrators
|
||||
can edit the settings-based display name and bounded inline PNG, JPEG, or GIF
|
||||
under **Settings → System → General → Appearance**. That override is used by
|
||||
both generated reports and the authenticated application header; the browser
|
||||
title follows the configured display name. Without the entitlement, the
|
||||
runtime returns and renders the built-in Pulse identity even if branding
|
||||
settings remain stored.
|
||||
|
||||
Scheduled reports are tenant-local. In provider-hosted MSP, each client
|
||||
runtime stores its own schedules in `report_schedules.json`, writes generated
|
||||
outputs under `reports/generated/`, and applies its own SMTP settings,
|
||||
recipients, resource tags, branding, and entitlement checks. If email delivery
|
||||
is selected before SMTP is configured, Pulse records the run and saves the
|
||||
report to disk instead of sending it. The Pulse Account portal may show whether
|
||||
a workspace has an enabled report schedule, but it does not render cross-client
|
||||
reports or collect report data in the provider control plane.
|
||||
|
||||
## Licensing
|
||||
|
||||
MSP and Enterprise capabilities (`multi_tenant`, `unlimited`, `white_label`)
|
||||
are carried on the licence key. MSP plans are sized by client workspace count
|
||||
(Starter 5, Growth 15, Scale 40); workspace creation is blocked, not billed,
|
||||
when the limit is reached. MSP and Enterprise keys are issued through sales —
|
||||
contact support to get set up or to join the MSP design-partner program.
|
||||
|
||||
### Evaluating without a licence
|
||||
|
||||
Leave `CP_PROVIDER_MSP_LICENSE_FILE` blank and `setup.sh` self-issues a
|
||||
2-client evaluation licence for you. It sends only the public half of the
|
||||
signing key it generated on your host, exactly as the paid path does, and the
|
||||
private key never leaves the machine. Nothing to request and nobody to wait
|
||||
for. Stand the stack up, onboard two real clients, and confirm the isolation
|
||||
boundary holds on your own infrastructure before you spend anything.
|
||||
|
||||
The evaluation licence lasts 60 days and re-running `setup.sh` reuses the one
|
||||
already on disk. On an air-gapped host set
|
||||
`PULSE_PROVIDER_MSP_SKIP_EVAL_LICENSE=1`; the portal, provisioning and client
|
||||
isolation all still work, but client workspaces will not carry MSP capabilities
|
||||
until a licence is installed, because release-build client runtimes only trust
|
||||
entitlement leases chained to a Pulse-signed licence.
|
||||
|
||||
`setup.sh` also resolves the four image pins from their published tags when
|
||||
you leave them blank, writing the resolved digests back into `.env`. The
|
||||
images are public, so this needs no credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
Set the licence file when you buy; paid client caps come from the licence.
|
||||
|
||||
### Licensing a provider deployment
|
||||
|
||||
In the provider-hosted model the licence is a signed file
|
||||
(`CP_PROVIDER_MSP_LICENSE_FILE`) that also binds your control plane's
|
||||
entitlement lease signing key:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `setup.sh` generates `CP_ENTITLEMENT_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY` locally; the
|
||||
private key never leaves your host.
|
||||
2. Send the derived public key
|
||||
(`./setup.sh --print-lease-signing-public-key`) with your licence request.
|
||||
3. The issued licence binds that key. The control plane refuses to start in
|
||||
provider mode if the licence and key do not match, so a misconfigured
|
||||
stack fails at startup instead of provisioning client workspaces that
|
||||
silently run unlicensed.
|
||||
|
||||
Client runtimes lease their entitlements from your control plane (the
|
||||
control plane injects the refresh endpoint; nothing phones Pulse Cloud) and
|
||||
verify each lease through the licence chain: Pulse's embedded key signs your
|
||||
licence, your licence binds your signing key, your signing key signs the
|
||||
lease. Leases carry the MSP capability set plus `white_label`, so branded
|
||||
per-client reports work inside every client workspace. When the licence
|
||||
expires, leases stop verifying after the grace period and client runtimes
|
||||
fall back to Community behavior; renew and restart the control plane to
|
||||
restore them.

# Multi-Tenant Organizations (Enterprise/Internal)
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse supports shared-process organizations for Enterprise and internal multi-organization deployments. Each organization gets its own infrastructure, resources, alerts, and audit log namespace on the same Pulse process.
|
||||
|
||||
This is not the canonical Pulse MSP model for separate customer businesses. MSP crosses legal and security ownership boundaries, so the canonical MSP route is provider-hosted: a Stripe-free provider control plane runs one isolated Pulse runtime per client workspace. Use shared-process organizations when one owner is deliberately separating internal sites, teams, departments, or environments.
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
| Requirement | Detail |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Feature flag** | `PULSE_MULTI_TENANT_ENABLED=true` |
|
||||
| **License** | Enterprise license with `multi_tenant` capability |
|
||||
|
||||
Without these, all API calls return `501 Not Implemented` (flag off) or `402 Payment Required` (no license). The **default** organization always works regardless.
|
||||
|
||||
The Community, Relay, and Pro tiers do not include the `multi_tenant` capability, and Enterprise licensing is not sold self-serve on the pricing page. Email [support@pulserelay.pro](mailto:support@pulserelay.pro) to arrange an Enterprise license.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
1. Set `PULSE_MULTI_TENANT_ENABLED=true` in your environment and restart Pulse.
|
||||
2. Activate your Enterprise license in **Settings → Plans & Billing**.
|
||||
3. Go to **Settings → Organization** and click **Create Organization**.
|
||||
4. Name your organization and assign infrastructure to it.
|
||||
5. Use the **Org Switcher** in the header bar to switch between organizations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Organizations
|
||||
|
||||
An organization is a separate monitoring namespace inside the same Pulse runtime:
|
||||
|
||||
- Its own set of monitored nodes and resources.
|
||||
- Its own alerts, thresholds, and notifications.
|
||||
- Its own audit log.
|
||||
- Its own configuration directory on disk.
|
||||
|
||||
The **default** organization always exists and is used when multi-tenant is disabled. It cannot be deleted or renamed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Roles
|
||||
|
||||
Each member has a role within an organization:
|
||||
|
||||
| Role | Permissions |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Owner** | Full control. Can transfer ownership, delete the org. |
|
||||
| **Admin** | Manage members, shares, and org settings. Cannot transfer ownership. |
|
||||
| **Editor** | Read/write access to org resources. Cannot manage members or shares. |
|
||||
| **Viewer** | Read-only access to all org data. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Resource Sharing
|
||||
|
||||
Organizations can share specific resources with other organizations:
|
||||
|
||||
- Share a VM, container, host, or storage resource with another org.
|
||||
- Assign an access role (`viewer`, `editor`, or `admin`) to the share.
|
||||
- The receiving org sees shared resources alongside their own, with a share badge.
|
||||
|
||||
## Managing Organizations
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating an Organization
|
||||
|
||||
**UI:** Settings → Organization → Create Organization
|
||||
|
||||
**API:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:7655/api/orgs \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"name": "Production Datacenter", "description": "EU production infrastructure"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Switching Organizations
|
||||
|
||||
Use the **Org Switcher** dropdown in the header. When you switch:
|
||||
|
||||
- All pages reload with the new organization's data.
|
||||
- AI chat history is reset (each org has its own context).
|
||||
- Caches are invalidated and re-fetched.
|
||||
|
||||
### Managing Members
|
||||
|
||||
**UI:** Settings → Organization → Access
|
||||
|
||||
**API:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List members
|
||||
curl http://localhost:7655/api/orgs/{orgId}/members \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
|
||||
|
||||
# Add a member
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:7655/api/orgs/{orgId}/members \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"userId": "user-id", "role": "editor"}'
|
||||
|
||||
# Update role
|
||||
curl -X PATCH http://localhost:7655/api/orgs/{orgId}/members/{userId} \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"role": "admin"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Sharing Resources
|
||||
|
||||
**UI:** Settings → Organization → Sharing
|
||||
|
||||
**API:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create a share
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:7655/api/orgs/{orgId}/shares \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{
|
||||
"targetOrgId": "other-org-id",
|
||||
"resourceType": "host",
|
||||
"resourceId": "resource-id",
|
||||
"role": "viewer"
|
||||
}'
|
||||
|
||||
# View incoming shares
|
||||
curl http://localhost:7655/api/orgs/{orgId}/shares/incoming \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring Multiple Internal Estates
|
||||
|
||||
An Enterprise deployment can run one central Pulse server and keep each internal estate in its own organization, so dashboards, alerts, notifications, and audit logs are scoped by organization. The same default node names (`pve`, `pve1`) in different organizations do not collide, because each organization is a separate namespace.
|
||||
|
||||
Use this for one company operating many internal sites, teams, departments, or environments. Do not use this as the default MSP model for unrelated customer businesses; MSP client isolation belongs to the provider-hosted client-workspace model with one isolated Pulse runtime per client.
|
||||
|
||||
To onboard an internal estate:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create an organization for the estate** (see [Creating an Organization](#creating-an-organization)).
|
||||
2. **Create an org-bound API token** with the `agent:report` scope, bound to that estate's organization (`orgId`). A token bound to a single organization automatically routes every agent that uses it into that organization, with no extra header required. Binding also scopes the token: an org-bound token cannot access other organizations, including the default org (bind `default` explicitly if a token genuinely needs it). Legacy unbound tokens keep their default-org access.
|
||||
3. **Install the estate's agents** (Proxmox host, Docker, Kubernetes) using that token. Their telemetry lands in the selected organization.
|
||||
4. **(Optional) Alias node names per estate.** If two estates both use the default `pve` hostname and you want them visually distinct, set `--hostname` (or the `PULSE_HOSTNAME` environment variable) on the agent, for example `--hostname "acme-pve1"`. See [UNIFIED_AGENT.md](UNIFIED_AGENT.md).
|
||||
5. **(Optional) Isolate the agent control plane on its own port.** When remote nodes reach the central server across the internet, enable [Split-Port Agent Ingest](CONFIGURATION.md#split-port-agent-ingest-network-isolation) so reports and command WebSockets share a dedicated, firewalled agent port that never exposes the web UI or management API.
|
||||
|
||||
Route each estate's alerts into the right internal system with per-organization webhooks or the org-scoped alerts API. See the multi-tenant section of [WEBHOOKS.md](WEBHOOKS.md).
|
||||
|
||||
**Licensing:** self-hosted multi-tenant requires an Enterprise license with the `multi_tenant` capability (see [Requirements](#requirements)). MSP licensing is separate and is based on a signed provider MSP license that sets the client workspace cap for isolated client runtimes, not shared-process organizations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Settings Panels
|
||||
|
||||
When multi-tenant is enabled, **Settings → Organization** shows:
|
||||
|
||||
| Panel | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Overview** | Organization name, description, creation date |
|
||||
| **Access** | Member list, invite/remove members, change roles |
|
||||
| **Sharing** | Outgoing and incoming resource shares |
|
||||
| **Billing & Plan** | Organization-level plan and license info |
|
||||
|
||||
## API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/orgs` | List organizations the current user can access |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/api/orgs` | Create a new organization |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/orgs/{id}` | Get organization details |
|
||||
| `PATCH` | `/api/orgs/{id}` | Update organization |
|
||||
| `DELETE` | `/api/orgs/{id}` | Delete organization |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/orgs/{id}/members` | List members |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/api/orgs/{id}/members` | Add a member |
|
||||
| `PATCH` | `/api/orgs/{id}/members/{userId}` | Update member role |
|
||||
| `DELETE` | `/api/orgs/{id}/members/{userId}` | Remove a member |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/orgs/{id}/shares` | List outgoing shares |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/orgs/{id}/shares/incoming` | List incoming shares |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/api/orgs/{id}/shares` | Create a share |
|
||||
| `DELETE` | `/api/orgs/{id}/shares/{shareId}` | Remove a share |
|
||||
|
||||
### Tenant Context
|
||||
|
||||
All data-fetching endpoints respect the active organization context. The active org is determined by:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `X-Pulse-Org-ID` header (API clients)
|
||||
2. Session cookie (browser)
|
||||
3. Falls back to the `default` organization
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage
|
||||
|
||||
- The **default** org uses the root data directory (backward compatible).
|
||||
- Non-default orgs store data in `{data-dir}/orgs/{org-id}/`.
|
||||
- Organization metadata is stored in `org.json` inside each org directory.
|
||||
- When multi-tenant is first enabled, legacy single-tenant data is migrated into `orgs/default/` with symlinks for compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "Multi-tenant is not enabled on this server" (501)
|
||||
|
||||
Set `PULSE_MULTI_TENANT_ENABLED=true` in your environment and restart Pulse.
|
||||
|
||||
### "Multi-tenant requires an Enterprise license" (402)
|
||||
|
||||
Activate an Enterprise license with the `multi_tenant` capability in **Settings → Plans & Billing**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Organization data not loading after switch
|
||||
|
||||
1. Hard-refresh the browser (`Ctrl+Shift+R`).
|
||||
2. Check the Org Switcher dropdown — ensure the correct org is selected.
|
||||
3. Check Pulse logs for tenant middleware errors.
|
||||
|
||||
### Shared resources not appearing
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify the share exists: **Settings → Organization → Sharing → Incoming**.
|
||||
2. Confirm the share role grants sufficient access.
|
||||
3. Check that the source org's resources are online.

# 🔐 OIDC Single Sign-On
|
||||
|
||||
Enable Single Sign-On (SSO) with providers like Authentik, Keycloak, Okta, and Microsoft Entra ID.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Configure Provider**: Create an OIDC application in your IdP.
|
||||
- **Redirect URI**: `https://<your-pulse-domain>/api/oidc/<provider-id>/callback`
|
||||
- **Scopes**: `openid`, `profile`, `email`
|
||||
2. **Enable in Pulse**: Go to **Settings → Security → Single Sign-On**.
|
||||
3. **Enter Details**:
|
||||
- **Issuer URL**: The base URL of your IdP (e.g., `https://auth.example.com/application/o/pulse/`).
|
||||
- **Client ID & Secret**: From your IdP.
|
||||
4. **Save**: The login page will now show your configured SSO provider button(s).
|
||||
|
||||
> **Tip**: To hide the username/password form and only show the SSO button, set `PULSE_AUTH_HIDE_LOCAL_LOGIN=true` in your environment. You can still access the local login by appending `?show_local=true` to the URL (e.g., `https://your-pulse-instance/?show_local=true`).
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚙️ Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
| Setting | Description |
|
||||
| :--- | :--- |
|
||||
| **Issuer URL** | The OIDC provider's issuer URL. Must match the `iss` claim in tokens. |
|
||||
| **Client ID** | The application ID from your provider. |
|
||||
| **Client Secret** | The application secret. |
|
||||
| **Redirect URL** | Auto-detected. Override only if running behind a complex proxy setup. |
|
||||
| **Scopes** | Space-separated scopes. Default: `openid profile email`. |
|
||||
| **Claim Mapping** | Map `email`, `username`, and `groups` to specific token claims. |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: Setting `OIDC_*` environment variables locks those fields in the UI. See [CONFIGURATION.md](CONFIGURATION.md) for the full list of overrides.
|
||||
|
||||
### Access Control
|
||||
Restrict access to specific users or groups:
|
||||
- **Allowed Groups**: Only users in these groups can login. Requires the `groups` scope/claim.
|
||||
- **Allowed Domains**: Restrict to specific email domains (e.g., `example.com`).
|
||||
- **Allowed Emails**: Allow specific email addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
### Group-to-Role Mapping (Pro and Above)
|
||||
|
||||
Automatically assign Pulse roles based on OIDC group membership. When a user logs in, Pulse checks their groups claim and assigns the corresponding roles.
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration:**
|
||||
Group-role mappings are configured per SSO provider through the UI (or the
|
||||
SSO provider API for automated setup). Go to **Settings → Security → Single
|
||||
Sign-On**, edit the provider, and populate **Group Role Mappings** with
|
||||
entries like:
|
||||
- `oidc-admins` → `admin`
|
||||
- `oidc-operators` → `operator`
|
||||
- `oidc-viewers` → `viewer`
|
||||
|
||||
The mappings persist on the provider record as a `groupRoleMappings` JSON
|
||||
field. Provider-level config (including this field) can be PUT through the
|
||||
SSO provider API for automated setup.
|
||||
|
||||
`OIDC_GROUP_ROLE_MAPPINGS` populates the same field, but only for the legacy
|
||||
single-provider OIDC configuration built from `OIDC_*` environment variables —
|
||||
it has no effect on providers created through the UI or the SSO provider API.
|
||||
See [CONFIGURATION.md](CONFIGURATION.md).
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works:**
|
||||
- On each login, Pulse reads the user's groups from the configured groups claim.
|
||||
- For each group that matches a mapping, the corresponding role is assigned.
|
||||
- Multiple groups can map to multiple roles (user gets all matching roles).
|
||||
- Role assignments are updated on every login to reflect current group membership.
|
||||
- Role changes are logged to the audit log for compliance tracking.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
If a user has groups `["oidc-admins", "developers"]` and you have mappings:
|
||||
- `oidc-admins` → `admin`
|
||||
- `developers` → `operator`
|
||||
|
||||
The user will be assigned both `admin` and `operator` roles.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: Ensure your IdP includes the `groups` scope and that the groups claim is properly configured. Some providers use `groups`, others use `roles` or custom claims.
|
||||
|
||||
### Long-Lived Sessions with `offline_access`
|
||||
For persistent sessions that don't require frequent re-authentication:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add `offline_access` scope**: Include `offline_access` in your OIDC scopes (e.g., `openid profile email offline_access`).
|
||||
2. **Configure your IdP**: Ensure your identity provider issues refresh tokens when `offline_access` is requested.
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works:**
|
||||
- When you login with `offline_access`, Pulse stores the refresh token alongside your session.
|
||||
- When your access token expires, Pulse automatically refreshes it using the stored refresh token.
|
||||
- Your session remains valid as long as the refresh token is valid (typically 30-90 days depending on your IdP).
|
||||
- If the IdP revokes access (user disabled, token revoked), Pulse detects this on the next refresh attempt and logs you out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Security considerations:**
|
||||
- Refresh tokens are stored encrypted at rest.
|
||||
- If the IdP configuration changes, existing sessions with mismatched issuers are automatically invalidated.
|
||||
- Failed refresh attempts immediately invalidate the session.
|
||||
|
||||
## 📚 Provider Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentik
|
||||
- **Type**: OAuth2/OpenID (Confidential)
|
||||
- **Redirect URI**: `https://pulse.example.com/api/oidc/<provider-id>/callback`
|
||||
- **Signing Key**: Must use **RS256** (create a certificate/key pair if needed).
|
||||
- **Issuer URL**: `https://auth.example.com/application/o/pulse/`
|
||||
|
||||
### Keycloak
|
||||
- **Client ID**: `pulse`
|
||||
- **Access Type**: Confidential
|
||||
- **Valid Redirect URIs**: `https://pulse.example.com/api/oidc/<provider-id>/callback`
|
||||
- **Issuer URL**: `https://keycloak.example.com/realms/myrealm`
|
||||
|
||||
### Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)
|
||||
|
||||
Create the provider in Pulse first (**Settings → Security → Single Sign-On → Add Provider**) so it gets its ID — Pulse generates a UUID per provider and shows the resulting callback URL. You need that URL for the Entra redirect URI below.
|
||||
|
||||
**In the Entra admin center:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **App registrations → New registration**: give it a name (e.g. `Pulse SSO`) and choose *Accounts in this organizational directory only (Single tenant)*.
|
||||
2. **Authentication → Add a platform → Web**: set the redirect URI to `https://pulse.example.com/api/oidc/<provider-id>/callback` and tick **ID tokens**.
|
||||
3. **Certificates & secrets → New client secret**: copy the secret **Value** (not the Secret ID) — it is only shown once.
|
||||
4. **Token configuration → Add groups claim**: select **Groups assigned to the application**, expand **ID**, and choose **Group ID**.
|
||||
5. **Enterprise applications → (your app) → Properties**: set **Assignment required?** to `Yes`, so only assigned users and groups can sign in.
|
||||
6. **Enterprise applications → (your app) → Users and groups**: assign the security group (e.g. `Pulse-Admins`) and copy its **Object ID** — a GUID like `a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-123456789abc`.
|
||||
|
||||
**In Pulse:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Issuer URL**: `https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant-id>/v2.0`
|
||||
- **Client ID**: the app registration's *Application (client) ID*.
|
||||
- **Client Secret**: the secret value from step 3.
|
||||
- **Redirect URI**: `https://pulse.example.com/api/oidc/<provider-id>/callback`, matching the app registration exactly. The bare `/api/oidc/callback` is a v5 compatibility path that only serves the legacy env-configured provider — don't use it for a new provider.
|
||||
- **Scopes**: exactly `openid profile email`. Do **not** add `groups`. Entra has no `groups` scope and fails the whole authorization request with `AADSTS650053`; group membership arrives in the ID token from the Token configuration step, not from a scope.
|
||||
- **Groups Claim**: `groups`
|
||||
- **Allowed Groups**: the group's Object ID (GUID), not its display name.
|
||||
- **Group Role Mappings**: `<guid>=admin`. Keying on the Object ID means the mapping survives a group rename in Entra.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Warning — group overage**: if a user belongs to more groups than Entra will fit in a token, Entra omits the `groups` claim entirely and sends a `_claim_names` / `_claim_sources` overage marker pointing at Microsoft Graph instead. Pulse does not follow that marker, so it sees the user as having no groups — and because a configured group-role mapping is authoritative, that login **clears** the user's role assignments instead of leaving them alone. Selecting **Groups assigned to the application** rather than **Security groups** in Token configuration keeps the claim small and avoids the overage.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: Group-to-role mapping requires a Pro (or above) license. Plain SSO login and **Allowed Groups** gating work on any plan.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
| Issue | Solution |
|
||||
| :--- | :--- |
|
||||
| **`invalid_id_token`** | Issuer URL mismatch. Check logs (`LOG_LEVEL=debug`) to see the expected vs. received issuer. |
|
||||
| **`unexpected signature algorithm "HS256"`** | Your IdP is signing with HS256. Configure it to use **RS256**. |
|
||||
| **Redirect Loop** | Check `X-Forwarded-Proto` header (must be `https`) and cookie settings. |
|
||||
| **Self-Signed Certs** | Set the **CA Bundle** field on the SSO provider to a host path readable by Pulse (e.g. `/etc/ssl/certs/oidc-ca.pem` mounted into the container). The field is stored on the provider record as `oidc.caBundle`; there is no `OIDC_CA_BUNDLE` env var. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Debugging
|
||||
Enable debug logs to trace the OIDC flow:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export LOG_LEVEL=debug
|
||||
# Restart Pulse
|
||||
```
|
||||
Logs will show discovery, token exchange, and claim parsing details.

# Operational Trust
|
||||
|
||||
Operational Trust is Pulse v6's shared model for answering five operator
|
||||
questions:
|
||||
|
||||
1. What needs attention now?
|
||||
2. What evidence supports that conclusion?
|
||||
3. Is the affected resource protected by usable recovery history?
|
||||
4. What changed in the issue lifecycle?
|
||||
5. Can Pulse offer a narrow action, and did fresh evidence verify its result?
|
||||
|
||||
Alerts, the Patrol attention queue, navigation counts, attached availability
|
||||
checks, notifications, protection posture, and governed actions project the
|
||||
same canonical records. None of those views owns a second writable lifecycle.
|
||||
|
||||
## Lifecycle states
|
||||
|
||||
| State | Operator meaning |
|
||||
| :--- | :--- |
|
||||
| `observing` | Evidence is being confirmed. This is not yet active work. |
|
||||
| `open` | Current evidence supports an operational issue. |
|
||||
| `acknowledged` | An operator has seen the issue. The issue is not resolved. |
|
||||
| `suppressed` | The issue is temporarily removed from active attention with an actor, reason, and bounded expiry. |
|
||||
| `resolving` | Recovery evidence exists, but the detector has not yet confirmed normal health. |
|
||||
| `resolved` | Fresh detector evidence confirms that the issue no longer applies. |
|
||||
| `stale` | The prior issue remains relevant, but its collection evidence is no longer current. |
|
||||
| `unknown` | Permissions, completeness, provider state, or identity prevent a stronger conclusion. |
|
||||
|
||||
Missing observations never resolve an open record. Collector disconnects move
|
||||
existing work to `stale`; permission or provider uncertainty moves it to
|
||||
`unknown`. A successful action result also does not close a record. Only fresh
|
||||
detector evidence can confirm recovery.
|
||||
|
||||
Acknowledgement is reversible and does not reduce the active issue truth.
|
||||
Suppression requires a non-empty reason and an expiry no more than 30 days in
|
||||
the future. The Patrol UI offers shorter 1-hour, 24-hour, and 7-day choices by
|
||||
default.
|
||||
|
||||
## Evidence
|
||||
|
||||
Every evidence envelope records:
|
||||
|
||||
- a stable opaque evidence ID;
|
||||
- provider, collector, and optional provider instance;
|
||||
- one canonical resource ID or one unresolved provider-scoped reference;
|
||||
- observation, ingestion, and optional validity times;
|
||||
- completeness, confidence, and permission state;
|
||||
- an optional bounded payload reference and identity-correlation proof.
|
||||
|
||||
`fresh`, `complete`, and `confirmed` are independent dimensions. Partial,
|
||||
denied, unavailable, stale, inferred, ambiguous, and unknown evidence is
|
||||
represented explicitly and never upgraded to healthy by a client.
|
||||
|
||||
The attention detail response contains the retained envelopes needed for the
|
||||
normal operator journey. An authorized client can request one exact envelope
|
||||
through the evidence endpoint. If the record still links the evidence ID but
|
||||
its bounded detail has expired, the endpoint returns `410
|
||||
attention_evidence_detail_expired`; it does not pretend the evidence never
|
||||
existed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Protection posture
|
||||
|
||||
Protection posture is evaluated server-side per canonical subject resource:
|
||||
|
||||
- `protected`: current usable protection satisfies policy;
|
||||
- `attention`: protection exists but freshness, verification, or provider
|
||||
outcome needs attention;
|
||||
- `unprotected`: sufficient evidence confirms that required protection is
|
||||
absent;
|
||||
- `unknown`: identity, history, permissions, or collection coverage cannot
|
||||
support a stronger claim.
|
||||
|
||||
The response explains the conclusion, preserves provider-specific state, and
|
||||
links the recovery and repository resources involved. Platform tables fetch
|
||||
posture in batches of at most 200 resource IDs. They must not issue one network
|
||||
request per row.
|
||||
|
||||
## Availability
|
||||
|
||||
An availability check attaches to an existing unified resource only when an
|
||||
explicit link resolves or identity correlation yields exactly one candidate.
|
||||
The relationship carries a stable relationship ID and the evidence ID that
|
||||
supports it. Every configured check remains a source-owned inventory resource,
|
||||
including an attached check. Correlation additionally projects its bounded
|
||||
facet onto the matched platform row and detail; it never replaces the check
|
||||
identity or copies the check's incident and service identity into the machine.
|
||||
Ambiguous and unresolved checks remain visible with their typed correlation
|
||||
state.
|
||||
|
||||
Availability success is time-bounded. A stale successful observation is
|
||||
`stale`, not healthy. A failure enters the same alert lifecycle and Patrol
|
||||
attention queue as other detectors.
|
||||
|
||||
## Patrol workflow
|
||||
|
||||
The normal operator path is:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open Patrol from the monitor shell.
|
||||
2. Review the urgency-ordered active queue.
|
||||
3. Select an item for impact, next step, resource, evidence, protection, and
|
||||
lifecycle detail.
|
||||
4. Acknowledge it, or temporarily suppress it with a reason and expiry.
|
||||
5. If an eligible Pulse Pro action is offered, review the server-owned plan,
|
||||
approve it, run it, and inspect execution and verification separately.
|
||||
|
||||
A calm state appears only when the lifecycle evaluation succeeded, coverage is
|
||||
current, and no active item exists. A failed read or partial coverage never
|
||||
becomes a calm claim.
|
||||
|
||||
The first governed action is a Docker container restart. It is offered only
|
||||
for a uniquely identified container with fresh confirmed unhealthy evidence,
|
||||
declared executor readiness, the required authorization scope, and the
|
||||
`ai_autofix` entitlement. The action framework owns plan hashing, approval,
|
||||
idempotent execution, durable audit, restart reconciliation, and verification.
|
||||
|
||||
## API and authorization
|
||||
|
||||
Read routes require `monitoring:read`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `GET /api/ai/patrol/attention`
|
||||
- `GET /api/ai/patrol/attention/summary`
|
||||
- `GET /api/ai/patrol/attention/{id}`
|
||||
- `GET /api/ai/patrol/attention/{id}/evidence/{evidenceId}`
|
||||
|
||||
Lifecycle mutations require `monitoring:write`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `POST /api/ai/patrol/attention/{id}/acknowledge`
|
||||
- `POST /api/ai/patrol/attention/{id}/unacknowledge`
|
||||
- `POST /api/ai/patrol/attention/{id}/suppress`
|
||||
- `POST /api/ai/patrol/attention/{id}/unsuppress`
|
||||
|
||||
Suppression body:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"reason": "Planned host maintenance",
|
||||
"expiresAt": "2026-07-20T08:00:00Z"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Planning an offered restart requires the action scopes enforced by the
|
||||
canonical action API and an active `ai_autofix` entitlement:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
POST /api/ai/patrol/attention/{id}/actions/restart/plan
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Action decision, execution, detail, and audit use `/api/actions`.
|
||||
|
||||
All IDs are opaque. Clients must path-escape operational-record and evidence
|
||||
IDs because canonical IDs can contain `/`, `:`, and provider-specific
|
||||
segments.
|
||||
|
||||
## Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
The `/metrics` listener exposes Operational Trust counters and histograms under
|
||||
`pulse_operational_trust_*`. Labels use closed, low-cardinality vocabularies;
|
||||
resource IDs, evidence IDs, provider-instance names, actors, and destination
|
||||
IDs never appear as labels.
|
||||
|
||||
Useful alerts include:
|
||||
|
||||
- sustained growth in `active_count_mismatch_total`;
|
||||
- notification `failed` or `dead_letter` outcomes;
|
||||
- growing stale, unavailable, denied, or partial evidence observations;
|
||||
- identity `ambiguous` or `unresolved` outcomes;
|
||||
- action verification `contradicted`, `inconclusive`, or `timed_out` outcomes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Upgrade and compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
Operational Trust migrations are additive. Existing alert, notification,
|
||||
recovery, relationship, availability, and action records are normalized on
|
||||
read or migrated in their owning stores. Read-side compatibility fields remain
|
||||
supported where older clients need them, but new writes go only through the
|
||||
canonical lifecycle, recovery, unified-resource, notification, and action
|
||||
owners.
|
||||
|
||||
The Pulse Mobile primary backlog uses `/api/ai/patrol/attention` and preserves
|
||||
operational record, evidence, and action-verification identity. Its old finding
|
||||
shape is now a local display adapter, not a writable source of truth.
|
||||
|
||||
Before upgrading:
|
||||
|
||||
1. back up the Pulse data directory;
|
||||
2. confirm that the v6 process can write its alert, notification, recovery, and
|
||||
action database directories;
|
||||
3. confirm supported clients can read additive JSON fields;
|
||||
4. expose the metrics listener to a protected scraper if rollout telemetry is
|
||||
required;
|
||||
5. verify Pulse Pro entitlement connectivity before relying on action offers.
|
||||
|
||||
After upgrading:
|
||||
|
||||
1. confirm the Patrol navigation count matches the active queue;
|
||||
2. inspect an active item through its deepest evidence and protection detail;
|
||||
3. acknowledge and unacknowledge a test item;
|
||||
4. verify a bounded suppression returns to active attention;
|
||||
5. confirm stale collection remains visible rather than resolving;
|
||||
6. exercise notification retry/dead-letter monitoring;
|
||||
7. if using Pulse Pro actions, complete a review/approve/run/verify journey.
|
||||
|
||||
If a migration fails, stop the upgraded process, preserve the data directory
|
||||
and logs, and restore the prior release with the pre-upgrade data backup. Do
|
||||
not delete lifecycle, evidence, notification, recovery, or action records to
|
||||
force startup.

# Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) Integration
|
||||
|
||||
This guide explains how to connect Pulse to your Proxmox Backup Server for comprehensive backup monitoring.
|
||||
|
||||
## Two Ways to Monitor PBS Backups
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse can monitor PBS backups in two ways:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Direct PBS Connection (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Connect directly to your PBS server for full monitoring capabilities:
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
- ✅ Deduplication factor and storage efficiency stats
|
||||
- ✅ PBS server health monitoring (CPU, memory, uptime)
|
||||
- ✅ Datastore usage and namespace hierarchy
|
||||
- ✅ Sync, verify, prune, and GC job status
|
||||
- ✅ Backup owner information
|
||||
- ✅ Faster queries (no PVE proxy overhead)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. PVE Passthrough (Automatic)
|
||||
|
||||
If your PVE cluster has PBS storage configured, Pulse automatically fetches backup data through the PVE API.
|
||||
|
||||
**Limitations:**
|
||||
- ❌ No deduplication stats
|
||||
- ❌ No PBS server health data
|
||||
- ❌ No job monitoring
|
||||
- ❌ Can be slow for encrypted PBS storage
|
||||
- ❌ Limited metadata per backup
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** If you see a banner in the Recovery page (formerly Backups) suggesting you add PBS directly, following this guide will significantly improve your monitoring experience.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Setting Up Direct PBS Connection
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 1: Unified Agent Install (Recommended for Bare Metal)
|
||||
|
||||
Install the unified agent directly on your PBS server for automatic setup:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run on your PBS server
|
||||
curl -fsSL http://<pulse-ip>:7655/install.sh | \
|
||||
sudo bash -s -- --url http://<pulse-ip>:7655 --token <api-token> --enable-proxmox --proxmox-type pbs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The agent will:
|
||||
1. Detect it's running on a PBS server
|
||||
2. Create a `pulse-monitor@pbs` user with read-only access
|
||||
3. Generate an API token
|
||||
4. Register the PBS node with Pulse automatically
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 2: API-Only Setup Script (Best for PBS in Containers) ⭐
|
||||
|
||||
Use this when you can run a command on the PBS host but do not want to install the agent.
|
||||
|
||||
From Pulse's Settings page:
|
||||
1. Go to **Settings → Infrastructure**.
|
||||
2. Click **Add infrastructure**.
|
||||
3. Choose **Proxmox Backup Server**.
|
||||
4. Use the API-only setup path and enter your PBS server's URL.
|
||||
5. Click copy to get the setup command.
|
||||
6. Run the command on your PBS server.
|
||||
|
||||
Example (what the UI generates):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL "http://<pulse-ip>:7655/api/setup-script?type=pbs&host=https://<pbs-ip>:8007&pulse_url=http://<pulse-ip>:7655" | { if [ "$(id -u)" -eq 0 ]; then PULSE_SETUP_TOKEN="<setup-token>" bash; elif command -v sudo >/dev/null 2>&1; then sudo env PULSE_SETUP_TOKEN="<setup-token>" bash; else echo "Root privileges required. Run as root (su -) and retry." >&2; exit 1; fi; }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse generates that full command for you from **Settings → Infrastructure**, including
|
||||
the one-time setup token. The script creates a `pulse-monitor@pbs` user,
|
||||
generates a scoped API token, and registers the server with Pulse.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: API-only mode does not include temperature monitoring or AI command execution. Use **Agent Install** for full functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Tip**: The installer now auto-detects Proxmox mode (`pve` or `pbs`) when possible, but keeping `--proxmox-type pbs` explicit is recommended for predictable PBS onboarding.
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 3: Manual Token Creation
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer manual setup:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# SSH into your PBS server
|
||||
|
||||
# 1. Create a dedicated monitoring user
|
||||
proxmox-backup-manager user create pulse-monitor@pbs --comment "Pulse monitoring"
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Grant read-only access (Audit role)
|
||||
proxmox-backup-manager acl update / Audit --auth-id pulse-monitor@pbs
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Generate an API token (save the output!)
|
||||
proxmox-backup-manager user generate-token pulse-monitor@pbs pulse-token
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the token value and enter it in Pulse:
|
||||
- **Token ID:** `pulse-monitor@pbs!pulse-token`
|
||||
- **Token Value:** The UUID shown after running the command
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## PBS Permissions
|
||||
|
||||
The Pulse monitoring user needs minimal permissions:
|
||||
|
||||
| Role | Path | Purpose |
|
||||
|------|------|---------|
|
||||
| `Audit` | `/` | Read-only access to all datastores, backups, and server status |
|
||||
|
||||
The `Audit` role provides:
|
||||
- List datastores and their usage
|
||||
- View backup groups and snapshots
|
||||
- Read server status (CPU, memory, uptime)
|
||||
- View job history and status
|
||||
|
||||
It does **not** allow:
|
||||
- Creating, modifying, or deleting backups
|
||||
- Running backup/restore operations
|
||||
- Changing server configuration
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple PBS Servers
|
||||
|
||||
If you have multiple PBS servers, add each one separately in Settings. Pulse will:
|
||||
- Monitor each server independently
|
||||
- Show backups from all servers in the unified Recovery view
|
||||
- Deduplicate if the same backup appears via both PVE passthrough and direct PBS
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "Connection Failed" Error
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check URL:** Ensure the PBS URL is correct (default port is 8007)
|
||||
- Format: `https://pbs.example.com:8007`
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Verify token:** Test authentication:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -sk -H "Authorization: PBSAPIToken=pulse-monitor@pbs!pulse-token:YOUR_TOKEN" \
|
||||
https://your-pbs:8007/api2/json/version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Network access:** Ensure Pulse can reach PBS on port 8007
|
||||
|
||||
4. **SSL verification:** If using self-signed certificates, disable SSL verification in the node settings
|
||||
|
||||
### Slow Backup Loading
|
||||
|
||||
If you notice slow loading for PBS storage accessed via PVE:
|
||||
- This often happens with encrypted PBS datastores
|
||||
- The fix is to add PBS directly (this guide)
|
||||
- Direct PBS connections bypass the slow PVE content listing
|
||||
|
||||
### Duplicate Backups
|
||||
|
||||
If you see the same backup twice:
|
||||
- This shouldn't happen—Pulse deduplicates by VMID and timestamp
|
||||
- If it does occur, the direct PBS version takes priority
|
||||
- Check console for debug logs: `localStorage.setItem('debug-pmg', 'true')`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Source Indicator
|
||||
|
||||
In the Recovery view, PBS backups show a data source indicator:
|
||||
|
||||
- **"PBS"** badge alone = Direct PBS connection (full data)
|
||||
- **"PBS via PVE"** = Passthrough via PVE storage (limited data)
|
||||
|
||||
Adding your PBS server directly will remove the "via PVE" indicator and unlock full monitoring capabilities.

This document explains Pulse's user-facing plan structure, the locked self-hosted commercial model, and how those plans map to runtime feature gates.
|
||||

For the canonical, code-aligned entitlement table (including internal tier names), see:
|
||||
- `docs/architecture/ENTITLEMENT_MATRIX.md`
|
||||
|
||||
## Plan Mapping (User-Facing -> Code Tiers)
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse uses capability keys (for example, `ai_autofix`) to gate features at runtime. Those capabilities are bundled into internal tiers in `pkg/licensing/features.go`.
|
||||
|
||||
User-facing plans map to internal tiers as follows:
|
||||
- **Community**: `free`
|
||||
- **Relay**: `relay`
|
||||
- **Pro**: `pro`, `pro_annual`, `lifetime`
|
||||
- **Cloud**: `cloud` for hosted Pro-level instances, with `enterprise` for internal multi-organization add-ons
|
||||
- **MSP**: signed provider MSP license using `msp_*` plan versions, with Enterprise/custom terms for higher client counts or white-label report branding
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
- `lifetime` keeps the same runtime feature set as Pro, and lifetime plus grandfathered recurring legacy entitlements are not metered by self-hosted monitoring or child-resource volume under the current v6 policy. Other migrated legacy paid installs can still carry cohort continuity metadata for support and audit, but self-hosted monitoring volume is no longer the paid gate.
|
||||
- `pro_plus` remains a legacy compatibility tier for existing holders. It is not a current public self-hosted plan because monitored-system volume is no longer the paid boundary.
|
||||
- Items marked **Enterprise*** require an Enterprise/custom entitlement rather than the base hosted or MSP tier.
|
||||
- If you are self-hosting, you can use capability keys and `GET /api/license/features` to discover exactly what is active in your instance.
|
||||
- Ordinary self-hosted Pulse stays free-first. MSP and Enterprise paths are explicit commercial paths and should not appear in normal self-hosted monitoring flows.
|
||||
|
||||
## Self-Hosted Commercial Model
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse does not monetize self-hosted users on monitored-system volume. The counted
|
||||
unit remains a monitored system for product understanding, migrations, and
|
||||
inventory truth, but self-hosted core monitoring is not the paid gate.
|
||||
|
||||
Self-hosted pricing is:
|
||||
|
||||
| Plan | Price | Core monitoring | Metric history | Purpose |
|
||||
|---|---:|---|---:|---|
|
||||
| Community | Free | Included | 7 days | Full self-hosted monitoring for normal homelab use |
|
||||
| Relay | $39/yr or $4.99/mo | Included | 14 days | Remote web access, Pulse Mobile pairing for handoff, push, and convenience |
|
||||
| Pro | $79/yr or $8.99/mo | Included | 90 days | AI operations and advanced admin features |
|
||||
|
||||
Counted examples:
|
||||
- Proxmox PVE node
|
||||
- PBS or PMG server
|
||||
- Standalone Linux, Windows, or macOS host
|
||||
- Docker host
|
||||
- TrueNAS or Unraid system
|
||||
- Kubernetes cluster
|
||||
|
||||
Not counted separately:
|
||||
- VMs
|
||||
- containers
|
||||
- pods
|
||||
- disks
|
||||
- pools
|
||||
- datastores
|
||||
- backup jobs
|
||||
- other child resources under a counted top-level system
|
||||
|
||||
Runtime rules:
|
||||
- API-backed monitoring and agent-backed monitoring use the same counted-system
|
||||
model. Self-hosted public plans include core monitoring without a
|
||||
monitored-system volume gate; finite
|
||||
capacity policies apply only where a hosted, enterprise, or explicit
|
||||
compatibility policy says so.
|
||||
- If the same system is seen through both paths, it counts once.
|
||||
- Deduplication follows canonical unified-resource identity rather than transport-specific state.
|
||||
|
||||
Migration policy:
|
||||
- Legacy recurring Pulse Pro subscriptions already active before the public v6 pricing cutover keep their grandfathered recurring price until cancellation. Self-hosted monitoring and child-resource volume are not metered under the current v6 policy.
|
||||
- Existing lifetime license holders remain valid, with self-hosted monitoring and child-resource volume not metered under the current v6 policy.
|
||||
- Supported legacy paid v5 migrations outside that recurring grandfathered path can still exchange into the v6 activation model without losing self-hosted monitoring access. Migration metadata can preserve the original cohort for support and audit, but monitored-system volume is no longer the paid gate.
|
||||
|
||||
### Paid Customer Continuity Matrix
|
||||
|
||||
| Customer cohort | What happens in v6 | Pricing and capacity outcome |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Legacy recurring subscriber from a v5 or earlier Pulse Pro monthly/annual plan, already active before the public v6 pricing cutover | The install can migrate into the v6 activation model without forcing a repurchase. | The existing recurring price stays in place while the subscription remains continuously active; self-hosted monitoring and child-resource volume are not metered under the current v6 policy. |
|
||||
| Existing lifetime license holder | The license remains valid through the v6 licensing transition. | Lifetime remains permanently valid; self-hosted monitoring and child-resource volume are not metered under the current v6 policy. |
|
||||
| Legacy paid v5 license migrated into v6 outside the recurring grandfathered path | The install can still exchange into the v6 activation model without forcing a repurchase. Migration records can still preserve the original cohort for support and audit. | Self-hosted monitoring stays available; monitored-system volume is no longer sold as a paid gate on current v6 self-hosted plans. |
|
||||
| Former recurring subscriber who already canceled or later lapses/cancels | A later return is treated as a new paid purchase, not as a grandfathered renewal. | The old grandfathered price does not resume automatically; current public v6 pricing applies for paid features while self-hosted monitoring remains included without a monitored-system volume gate. |
|
||||
| New self-hosted v6 purchase | The purchase uses the current Community / Relay / Pro self-hosted plans. | Core monitoring is included by default; paid value comes from convenience, AI, history, and advanced admin features. |
|
||||
|
||||
Support rule:
|
||||
- If any self-hosted v6 install shows a finite monitored-system, guest, or child-resource volume limit after activation or migration, treat it as a bug rather than as intended policy.
|
||||
|
||||
## V6 Product Classification
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse keeps some entitlement keys for compatibility, but not every Pro
|
||||
capability key is a primary v6 product pillar.
|
||||
|
||||
### Build On In v6
|
||||
|
||||
These are the current self-hosted Pro pillars that Pulse should keep
|
||||
investing in, surfacing, and marketing:
|
||||
- Patrol investigates issues.
|
||||
- Patrol handles safe fixes through approval-backed execution and Patrol mode.
|
||||
- 90-day history.
|
||||
- Included team/admin extras: RBAC, audit logging, reporting, and agent
|
||||
profiles. SSO is included with Community and higher tiers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Compatibility-Only In v6
|
||||
|
||||
These remain valid runtime gates for backwards compatibility, but should not
|
||||
be elevated into headline Pro marketing or generic upgrade prompts:
|
||||
- `FeatureKubernetesAI` / `kubernetes_ai`
|
||||
- Keeps the legacy `/api/ai/kubernetes/analyze` route gate intact.
|
||||
- Do not present it as a primary Pulse Pro pillar on current v6 surfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
### Legacy / Retired Claims
|
||||
|
||||
These should not appear as current v6 Pro promises unless they are rebuilt
|
||||
into first-class product surfaces:
|
||||
- `incident memory` as a standalone feature name
|
||||
- `scheduled automated fixes`
|
||||
- `execution audit trail`
|
||||
|
||||
## Paid Feature Proof Map
|
||||
|
||||
Use this map before adding or changing public Pulse Pro/Relay copy. A feature is safe to sell only
|
||||
when the claim has a runtime gate, presentation copy, and at least one regression proof. The
|
||||
automated proof bundle also checks that ordinary self-hosted sessions stay free-first and do not
|
||||
surface upgrade prompts unless the user deliberately enters a commercial path.
|
||||
|
||||
| Claim | Runtime source | Regression proof |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Self-hosted monitoring is not sold by monitored-system or child-resource volume. | `pkg/licensing/features.go` and `pkg/licensing/entitlement_payload.go` normalize self-hosted limits to the current no-volume-gate policy. | `pkg/licensing/grant_claims_contract_test.go`, `pkg/licensing/activation_types_test.go`, and `internal/api/licensing_handlers_auto_migrate_test.go` prove self-hosted paid/legacy continuity does not surface finite monitored-system allowances. |
|
||||
| Relay includes secure remote web access, Pulse Mobile pairing for handoff, push notifications, and 14-day history. | `pkg/licensing/features.go` grants `relay`, `mobile_app`, `push_notifications`, and `long_term_metrics` to Relay with `TierHistoryDays[relay] == 14`; relay onboarding/settings routes are gated behind Relay. | `pkg/licensing/features_test.go`, `pkg/licensing/entitlement_payload_test.go`, `internal/api/relay_sso_license_gating_test.go`, and `frontend-modern/src/components/Settings/__tests__/RelaySettingsPanel.runtime.test.tsx`. |
|
||||
| Pro includes Patrol issue investigation and verified fix actions. | `internal/api/ai_handlers.go` gates alert-triggered analysis behind `ai_alerts` and fix/autonomy behavior behind `ai_autofix`; `internal/ai/service.go` enforces the same capabilities in service-level paths. | `pkg/licensing/features_test.go`, `internal/api/router_routes_ai_execute_stream_test.go`, `internal/api/ai_intelligence_handlers_remediation_more_test.go`, and `frontend-modern/src/pages/__tests__/AIIntelligence.test.tsx`. |
|
||||
| Pro includes 90-day history. | `pkg/licensing/features.go` sets `TierHistoryDays[pro] == 90`; `pkg/licensing/entitlement_payload.go` emits `max_history_days`; `frontend-modern/src/stores/license.ts` and `frontend-modern/src/components/shared/useHistoryChartState.ts` lock ranges above the entitlement. | `pkg/licensing/features_test.go`, `pkg/licensing/entitlement_payload_test.go`, and `frontend-modern/src/stores/__tests__/license.test.ts`. |
|
||||
| Pro includes business/admin extras: RBAC, audit logging, reporting, and agent profiles. | Router and settings gates use `rbac`, `audit_logging`, `advanced_reporting`, and `agent_profiles`; audit capture is SQLite-backed in `pkg/server/server.go` and `pkg/audit/sqlite_factory.go`, while query/export remains license-gated. | `internal/api/security_regression_test.go`, `internal/api/rbac_lifecycle_test.go`, `pkg/reporting/catalog_test.go`, and `frontend-modern/src/components/Settings/__tests__/settingsNavigation.integration.test.tsx`. |
|
||||
|
||||
## Feature Matrix
|
||||
|
||||
Legend:
|
||||
- Included: `Y` / `N`
|
||||
- `Y*`: Enterprise/custom only (`enterprise` tier or explicit entitlement)
|
||||
|
||||
This matrix is derived from the canonical table in `docs/architecture/ENTITLEMENT_MATRIX.md` plus runtime history/limit semantics exposed through entitlements.
|
||||
|
||||
| Constant | Capability Key | Display Name | Community | Relay | Pro | Cloud | Primary Gating Mechanism / Notes |
|
||||
|---|---|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|---|
|
||||
| `FeatureAIPatrol` | `ai_patrol` | Pulse Patrol (Background Health Checks) | Y | Y | Y | Y | Patrol itself is available on Community with your own provider or local model. Higher-autonomy outcomes and fix execution are separately gated. |
|
||||
| `FeatureRelay` | `relay` | Remote Access (Mobile Relay) | N | Y | Y | Y | API route gating via `RequireLicenseFeature(..., relay, ...)` for relay settings and onboarding endpoints. |
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Patrol Modes
|
||||
|
||||
Patrol mode decides how far Pulse can go after Patrol finds something that needs attention. Assistant chat command access is configured separately.
|
||||
|
||||
| Mode | Behavior | Plan |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Watch only** | Detect issues only. No investigation or fix execution. | Community / Relay |
|
||||
| **Ask before changes** | Investigates findings and proposes fixes. All fixes require approval before execution. | Pro / hosted Cloud |
|
||||
| **Auto-fix safe issues** | Runs approved safe fixes and verifies the outcome. Critical findings require approval by default. | Pro / hosted Cloud |
|
||||
| **Policy autopilot** | Runs eligible policy-approved fixes without approval when explicitly enabled. | Pro / hosted Cloud |
|
||||
|
||||
## What You Get (By Plan)
|
||||
|
||||
### Community
|
||||
- Core self-hosted monitoring included without a monitored-system volume gate.
|
||||
- 7-day history.
|
||||
- Pulse Patrol with your own provider or local model.
|
||||
- Core SSO and update alerts.
|
||||
|
||||
### Relay
|
||||
- Everything in Community, plus:
|
||||
- 14-day history.
|
||||
- Remote access via Relay.
|
||||
- Pulse Mobile pairing for handoff and push notifications.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pro
|
||||
- Everything in Relay, plus:
|
||||
- Patrol investigates issues.
|
||||
- Patrol handles safe fixes through Patrol mode.
|
||||
- Centralized agent profiles.
|
||||
- RBAC, audit logging, and advanced reporting.
|
||||
- 90-day history.
|
||||
|
||||
### Legacy Pro+
|
||||
- Existing Pro+ entitlements remain supported for current holders, but Pro+ is no longer presented as a public self-hosted plan because monitored-system volume is no longer the paid boundary.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cloud
|
||||
- Hosted Pulse with Pro-level capabilities and hosted lifecycle management.
|
||||
- Cloud Enterprise adds internal multi-organization mode and multi-user mode.
|
||||
|
||||
### MSP
|
||||
- Provider-hosted MSP is request-assisted and license-backed. The MSP runs a Stripe-free provider control plane that creates one isolated Pulse runtime per client workspace.
|
||||
- Each client runtime keeps its own data, alerts, webhooks, users, audit history, report settings, and branded PDF reports when `white_label` is granted.
|
||||
- Pulse-hosted MSP is an optional request-assisted path where Pulse operates the provider stack.
|
||||
|
||||
## License Activation and Introspection
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse plan upgrades are activated locally with a license key.
|
||||
|
||||
- License key storage: `license.enc` under the Pulse config directory (encrypted; requires `.encryption.key` to decrypt).
|
||||
- Export/import note: license files are not included in exports, so you typically re-activate after migrations.
|
||||
- Pulse v6 prefers v6 activation keys, but it can migrate valid Pulse v5 Pro or Lifetime JWT-style licenses into the v6 activation model.
|
||||
- If a v5 license is already persisted on disk during upgrade and no v6 activation state exists yet, Pulse will try to auto-exchange it on startup.
|
||||
- If you are activating manually in v6, paste the v6 activation key shown on the hosted checkout success page. A backup copy is also sent by email. You can also paste a valid v5 Pro or Lifetime license key and Pulse will try to exchange it automatically.
|
||||
- If the exchange cannot complete, retry from the v6 license panel or use the self-serve retrieval flow to fetch the current v6 activation key.
|
||||
|
||||
### Feature Status API
|
||||
|
||||
You can inspect active feature gates via:
|
||||
- `GET /api/license/features` (authenticated)
|
||||
|
||||
This returns a feature map including keys like `relay`, `ai_alerts`, `ai_autofix`, `agent_profiles`, and `multi_tenant` so you can conditionally enable paid workflows safely.

# Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
|
||||
|
||||
RBAC lets you define custom roles with granular permissions and assign them to users. This restricts what each user can see and do in Pulse.
|
||||
|
||||
**Requires:** Pro, legacy Pro+, Cloud, MSP, or Enterprise/custom license with the `rbac` capability.
|
||||
|
||||
For plan details, see [PULSE_PRO.md](PULSE_PRO.md). For API endpoints, see [API Reference](API.md#-rbac--role-management-pro).

|
||||
|
||||
## Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Roles
|
||||
|
||||
A role is a named set of permissions. Each permission is an `(action, resource)` pair:
|
||||
|
||||
- **action**: `read`, `write`, `delete`, or `admin`
|
||||
- **resource**: A Pulse resource type (e.g., `alerts`, `settings`, `nodes`, `ai`)
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse ships with built-in roles: `admin` (full access), `operator` (manage alerts and resources), `viewer` (read-only), and `auditor` (audit log access). You can create additional custom roles for more granular control.
|
||||
|
||||
### Role Assignment
|
||||
|
||||
Users can hold multiple roles. Their effective permissions are combined across all assigned roles. Explicit `deny` rules take precedence over `allow` grants.
|
||||
|
||||
### OIDC Group Mapping
|
||||
|
||||
When using OIDC/SSO, roles can be automatically assigned based on group membership. See [OIDC Group-to-Role Mapping](OIDC.md#group-to-role-mapping-pro-and-above) for configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
1. Activate a Pro, grandfathered Pro+, Cloud, MSP, or Enterprise/custom license in **Settings → Plans & Billing**.
|
||||
2. Go to **Settings → Security → Access Control**.
|
||||
3. Create roles with the permissions you need.
|
||||
4. Assign roles to users.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Managing Roles
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating a Role
|
||||
|
||||
**UI:** Settings → Security → Access Control → Create Role
|
||||
|
||||
**API:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:7655/api/admin/roles \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{
|
||||
"id": "operator",
|
||||
"name": "Operator",
|
||||
"description": "Can view and manage alerts",
|
||||
"permissions": [
|
||||
{"action": "read", "resource": "alerts"},
|
||||
{"action": "write", "resource": "alerts"},
|
||||
{"action": "read", "resource": "nodes"}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Listing Roles
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl http://localhost:7655/api/admin/roles \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Updating a Role
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X PUT http://localhost:7655/api/admin/roles/operator \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{
|
||||
"name": "Operator",
|
||||
"description": "Updated description",
|
||||
"permissions": [
|
||||
{"action": "read", "resource": "alerts"},
|
||||
{"action": "write", "resource": "alerts"},
|
||||
{"action": "read", "resource": "nodes"},
|
||||
{"action": "read", "resource": "ai"}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Deleting a Role
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:7655/api/admin/roles/operator \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Managing User Assignments
|
||||
|
||||
### Listing Users and Their Roles
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl http://localhost:7655/api/admin/users \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setting Roles for a User
|
||||
|
||||
Role assignments are set as a complete list — the user's roles are replaced with the provided set:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X PUT http://localhost:7655/api/admin/users/jane/roles \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"roleIds": ["operator", "viewer"]}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To remove all custom roles from a user, send an empty list:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X PUT http://localhost:7655/api/admin/users/jane/roles \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"roleIds": []}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Users cannot modify their own role assignments (self-escalation prevention).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Automatic Role Assignment via OIDC
|
||||
|
||||
If you use an OIDC identity provider, Pulse can automatically assign roles based on group membership on each login.
|
||||
|
||||
**UI:** Settings → Security → Single Sign-On → Group Role Mappings
|
||||
|
||||
**Environment variable** (legacy env-configured OIDC provider only — it does not apply to providers created through the UI or the SSO provider API):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Format: group1=role1,group2=role2
|
||||
OIDC_GROUP_ROLE_MAPPINGS="oidc-admins=admin,oidc-operators=operator,oidc-viewers=viewer"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
How it works:
|
||||
- On each login, Pulse reads the user's groups from the OIDC groups claim.
|
||||
- Matching groups are mapped to Pulse roles.
|
||||
- A user can receive multiple roles from multiple group mappings.
|
||||
- Once a provider has any group role mappings configured, the mapping is authoritative: on every login the user's role assignments are replaced with whatever the mapping resolves to. A login that matches no mapped group resolves to an empty set, which clears the user's existing role assignments. Watch for identity providers that silently drop the groups claim (see the Entra ID group overage warning in [OIDC.md](OIDC.md#microsoft-entra-id-formerly-azure-ad)) — to Pulse that looks the same as losing every group.
|
||||
- Role changes are logged to the [audit log](AUDIT_LOGGING.md) as `oidc_role_assignment` events.
|
||||
|
||||
See [OIDC documentation](OIDC.md#group-to-role-mapping-pro-and-above) for full configuration details.

## Organization Roles (Enterprise/Internal Multi-Org)
|
||||
|
||||
In Enterprise/internal multi-organization deployments, each organization has its own role hierarchy:
|
||||
|
||||
| Role | Permissions |
|
||||
|------|------------|
|
||||
| **Owner** | Full control. Can transfer ownership and delete the org. |
|
||||
| **Admin** | Manage members, shares, and org settings. Cannot transfer ownership. |
|
||||
| **Editor** | Read/write access to org resources. Cannot manage members. |
|
||||
| **Viewer** | Read-only access to all org data. |
|
||||
|
||||
These organization roles are separate from the RBAC custom roles described above. Organization roles control access within a specific internal organization, while RBAC roles control access to Pulse features globally.
|
||||
|
||||
Provider-hosted MSP uses a different boundary: each client workspace is its own isolated Pulse runtime. RBAC inside that runtime controls access for that client, and the provider control plane handles account-level staff access and handoff.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Multi-Tenant Organizations](MULTI_TENANT.md) for details.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Example: Team Setup
|
||||
|
||||
A typical team configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
| User | Role | Access |
|
||||
|------|------|--------|
|
||||
| alice | `admin` | Full access to everything |
|
||||
| bob | `operator` | Can view nodes/VMs and manage alerts |
|
||||
| carol | `viewer` | Read-only access to monitoring views and metrics |
|
||||
| monitoring-bot | API token with `monitoring:read` scope | Automated alert polling |

# Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse v6 includes a **provider-neutral recovery view** that aggregates backup, snapshot, and replication artifacts across all connected platforms into a single interface.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Recovery is event-first and answers two questions:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **"What happened?"** → The **Recovery events** table shows individual recovery points (artifacts) with timestamps, outcomes, and sizes.
|
||||
2. **"What can I actually recover?"** → **Protection coverage** shows the canonical posture for each resource: protected, attention, unprotected, or unknown.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Providers
|
||||
|
||||
| Provider | Recovery Point Types |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Proxmox Backup Server (PBS)** | Full and incremental backups, sync jobs, verify tasks |
|
||||
| **Proxmox VE (PVE)** | Local dump-style backups (`vzdump`) |
|
||||
| **TrueNAS** | ZFS snapshots, replication tasks |
|
||||
| **Kubernetes** | VolumeSnapshots, Velero backups (when available) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Subject (What Was Protected)
|
||||
|
||||
A subject is the thing being protected:
|
||||
|
||||
- A Proxmox VM or container
|
||||
- A TrueNAS dataset (e.g., `tank/apps/postgres`)
|
||||
- A Kubernetes PVC (e.g., `monitoring/prometheus-pvc`)
|
||||
|
||||
Subjects link to unified resources via `subjectResourceId` when possible.
|
||||
|
||||
### Recovery Point (An Artifact / Event)
|
||||
|
||||
A recovery point is a single concrete artifact:
|
||||
|
||||
- A PBS backup snapshot
|
||||
- A local `vzdump` backup file
|
||||
- A ZFS snapshot
|
||||
- A replication run result
|
||||
|
||||
### Rollup (A Subject Summary)
|
||||
|
||||
A rollup groups recovery points for a subject to show:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Protection status** — is this subject actively protected?
|
||||
- **Latest point** — when was the most recent successful backup/snapshot?
|
||||
- **Health** — are there recent failures or warnings?
|
||||
|
||||
### Protection Posture (A Trust Decision)
|
||||
|
||||
A protection posture combines subject-linked recovery points with the latest
|
||||
provider collection evidence. It deliberately keeps four operator-facing
|
||||
states:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Protected** — a qualifying current recovery point is linked to the resource
|
||||
and complete provider evidence does not invalidate the claim.
|
||||
- **Attention** — evidence exists, but it is stale, failing, incomplete, or
|
||||
unverified when verification is expected.
|
||||
- **Unprotected** — complete evidence confirms that no qualifying protection
|
||||
exists.
|
||||
- **Unknown** — identity, permissions, provider history, or collection
|
||||
completeness cannot support a stronger claim.
|
||||
|
||||
A backup or snapshot artifact may still be shown while posture is unknown.
|
||||
Artifacts answer what Pulse found; posture answers what Pulse can safely claim.
|
||||
Snapshot presence alone is never presented as independent recovery.
|
||||
|
||||
## Navigating Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
### Recovery Events
|
||||
|
||||
Shows individual recovery points. Key columns:
|
||||
|
||||
| Column | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Time | When the point was created (started/completed) |
|
||||
| Subject | What was backed up |
|
||||
| Method | Kind + mode of the backup |
|
||||
| Outcome | success / warning / failed / running |
|
||||
| Size | Size of the artifact (when available) |
|
||||
| Verified | Whether the backup has been verified (tri-state) |
|
||||
|
||||
### Protection Coverage
|
||||
|
||||
The Proxmox **Backups → Coverage** view shows one row per workload. The default
|
||||
table stays compact; expanding a row reveals the plain-language posture reason,
|
||||
provider evidence quality, and individual restore artifacts.
|
||||
|
||||
| Column | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Item | The protected resource (VM name, dataset path, etc.) |
|
||||
| Item Type | Canonical resource category |
|
||||
| Posture | Protected, attention, unprotected, or unknown |
|
||||
| Restore | Most recent successful recovery point timestamp |
|
||||
| Provider columns | Latest PBS, PVE, or guest-snapshot artifact where available |
|
||||
|
||||
### Filtering
|
||||
|
||||
Both workspaces support:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Platform filter** — show only points from a specific platform
|
||||
- **Outcome filter** — show only failed, successful, or running points
|
||||
- **Time range** — filter to a specific time window
|
||||
- **Search** — full-text search across items and details
|
||||
|
||||
## API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/recovery/points` | List individual recovery points |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/recovery/rollups` | List subject rollups (protection coverage) |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/recovery/postures` | List canonical per-resource protection postures |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/recovery/series` | Time-series data for recovery charts |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/recovery/facets` | Available filter facets (providers, kinds, outcomes) |
|
||||
|
||||
### Query Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
All recovery endpoints support:
|
||||
|
||||
| Parameter | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `provider` | Filter by provider (`pve`, `pbs`, `truenas`, `k8s`) |
|
||||
| `kind` | Filter by kind (`backup`, `snapshot`, `replication`) |
|
||||
| `outcome` | Filter by outcome (`success`, `failed`, `warning`, `running`) |
|
||||
| `since` | ISO 8601 timestamp — only points after this time |
|
||||
| `until` | ISO 8601 timestamp — only points before this time |
|
||||
| `subject` | Filter by subject reference |
|
||||
| `limit` | Max results (default: 500) |
|
||||
|
||||
`/api/recovery/postures` has a deliberately bounded table contract. Supply one
|
||||
or more repeated `resourceId` parameters for a resource or batch lookup (at
|
||||
most 200), or omit them for a paged list. It also accepts `state`, `page`, and
|
||||
`limit`; `state=attention` returns the actionable attention list. The response
|
||||
includes the posture policy and provider evidence states so clients do not
|
||||
re-derive trust from raw artifacts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### No recovery data showing
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify at least one data source provides backup/snapshot data:
|
||||
- **PBS**: Ensure a PBS connection exists in Settings → Infrastructure.
|
||||
- **TrueNAS**: Ensure a TrueNAS connection exists in Settings → TrueNAS.
|
||||
- **PVE**: Local backups from PVE are included automatically.
|
||||
2. Wait one polling cycle (~30 seconds) for data to appear.
|
||||
3. Check the source filter — make sure you're not filtering to an empty source.
|
||||
|
||||
### PBS backups showing but not TrueNAS snapshots (or vice versa)
|
||||
|
||||
Check the **Source** filter on the Recovery page. Each provider surfaces its recovery points independently. Clear all filters to see everything.
|
||||
|
||||
### Recovery points showing as "failed"
|
||||
|
||||
Click the row to expand the details drawer, which shows the provider-specific error message. Common causes:
|
||||
|
||||
- **PBS**: Datastore unreachable, verification failed, prune job errors
|
||||
- **TrueNAS**: Replication target unreachable, dataset locked, insufficient space
|
||||
- **PVE**: Backup storage full, vzdump process error
|
||||
|
||||
### Current backups show an unknown posture
|
||||
|
||||
Expand the workload row and inspect the limiting evidence. Pulse uses unknown
|
||||
when the current poll cannot prove provider-history completeness, permission
|
||||
scope, or subject identity. Fix the reported collection or access gap and wait
|
||||
for the next provider poll; Pulse does not promote retained backup artifacts to
|
||||
protected while that uncertainty remains.

# Relay / Pulse Mobile Handoff (Relay and Above)
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse Relay provides **end-to-end encrypted remote access** foundations for Pulse instances. It allows secure remote connectivity without exposing your Pulse server to the public internet.
|
||||
|
||||
> Supported Pulse Mobile clients pair from **Settings → Remote Access** using a QR code or deep link and connect through Pulse Relay over end-to-end encrypted remote access.
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
┌──────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────┐
|
||||
│ Pulse │◄──E2E──►│ Relay │◄──WSS──►│ Pulse │
|
||||
│ Mobile │ ECDH │ Server │ │ Server │
|
||||
└──────────┘ └──────────────┘ └──────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Your Pulse server maintains a persistent WebSocket connection to the relay server.
|
||||
2. A mobile client connects to the relay server and authenticates.
|
||||
3. An ECDH key exchange creates a per-channel encryption key.
|
||||
4. Tunneled remote-access traffic is encrypted end-to-end — the relay server **never sees plaintext data**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to **Settings → Remote Access**.
|
||||
2. Toggle relay **On**.
|
||||
3. Use the **QR Code** or **Deep Link** to pair a supported Pulse Mobile client.
|
||||
4. Your paired mobile client connects through relay.
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- **Relay, Pro, legacy Pro+, or Cloud license** — relay is gated by the `relay` feature key.
|
||||
- **Outbound WebSocket** — Pulse must be able to reach `relay.pulserelay.pro` (port 443).
|
||||
- **No inbound ports** — you do not need to open any ports on your firewall.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security
|
||||
|
||||
Relay was designed with a zero-trust model:
|
||||
|
||||
| Property | Detail |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Encryption** | End-to-end ECDH key exchange per channel |
|
||||
| **Plaintext** | Relay server never sees your monitoring data |
|
||||
| **Authentication** | Per-session mobile authentication |
|
||||
| **Back-pressure** | Data limiters prevent channel flooding |
|
||||
| **License-gated** | Requires an active Relay-or-higher license |
|
||||
| **Configurable** | Can be enabled/disabled at any time via Settings |
|
||||
| **Audit** | Relay connection events are logged to the audit trail |
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### UI
|
||||
|
||||
**Settings → Remote Access** — toggle on/off, view QR code, and manage relay pairing sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
For headless / container deployments, two env vars override the persisted
|
||||
`relay.enc` values at load time. Unset leaves the file value untouched.
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable | Description | Default |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `PULSE_RELAY_ENABLED` | Enable/disable relay (`true`/`false`/`yes`/`no`/`1`/`0`). Unrecognized values are ignored. | *(unset)* |
|
||||
| `PULSE_RELAY_SERVER` | Override relay server URL. Must be `ws://` or `wss://`. Invalid values are logged and ignored. | `wss://relay.pulserelay.pro/ws/instance` |
|
||||
|
||||
Env vars take precedence over the file at load. Saving from the UI after an
|
||||
env override is active persists the env-effective state to disk, so clearing
|
||||
the env var alone will not revert the change — disable in the UI too.
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage
|
||||
|
||||
Relay configuration is stored encrypted in `relay.enc` in the Pulse data directory.
|
||||
|
||||
## API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | Endpoint | Scope | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/settings/relay` | `settings:read` | Get relay status and config |
|
||||
| `PUT` | `/api/settings/relay` | `settings:write` | Update relay settings |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/api/onboarding/qr` | `settings:read` | Generate mobile onboarding QR code |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/api/onboarding/deep-link` | `settings:read` | Generate mobile deep link |
|
||||
|
||||
## Pulse Mobile Pairing
|
||||
|
||||
### iOS / Android
|
||||
|
||||
1. Pulse Mobile is in early access. Relay and Pro customers get install links from the authenticated [download page](https://pulserelay.pro/download.html).
|
||||
2. Open Pulse Mobile and tap **Connect to Server**.
|
||||
3. Scan the QR code from **Settings → Remote Access** in your Pulse web UI.
|
||||
4. The app connects via the relay for push notifications and secure Open Pulse handoff.
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple Servers
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse Mobile can pair with multiple Pulse instances. Each pairing has its own encrypted channel.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Relay showing "Disconnected"
|
||||
|
||||
1. Confirm your Relay, Pro, grandfathered Pro+, or Cloud license is active (**Settings → Plans & Billing**).
|
||||
2. Verify the Pulse server can reach the relay server:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -s https://relay.pulserelay.pro/healthz
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Check Pulse logs for relay errors:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
journalctl -u pulse | grep -i relay
|
||||
# or
|
||||
docker logs pulse | grep -i relay
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pulse Mobile can't connect
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify relay is enabled in **Settings → Remote Access**.
|
||||
2. Confirm your mobile account has beta access.
|
||||
3. Re-scan the QR code — sessions can expire.
|
||||
4. Ensure your mobile device has internet access.
|
||||
|
||||
### Open Pulse handoff not loading
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check the relay connection status in **Settings → Remote Access**.
|
||||
2. Look for WebSocket reconnection messages in Pulse logs.
|
||||
3. Restart Pulse Mobile.

# 🔄 Reverse Proxy Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse uses WebSockets for real-time updates. Your proxy **MUST** support WebSockets.
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚡ Quick Configs
|
||||
|
||||
### Nginx
|
||||
```nginx
|
||||
location / {
|
||||
proxy_pass http://localhost:7655;
|
||||
proxy_http_version 1.1;
|
||||
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
|
||||
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
|
||||
proxy_set_header Host $host;
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
|
||||
|
||||
# Critical for WebSockets
|
||||
proxy_read_timeout 86400; # 24h
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Caddy
|
||||
```caddy
|
||||
pulse.example.com {
|
||||
reverse_proxy localhost:7655
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Traefik (Docker Compose)
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
labels:
|
||||
- "traefik.enable=true"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.pulse.rule=Host(`pulse.example.com`)"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.services.pulse.loadbalancer.server.port=7655"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Apache
|
||||
```apache
|
||||
RewriteEngine On
|
||||
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC]
|
||||
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Connection} upgrade [NC]
|
||||
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) "ws://localhost:7655/$1" [P,L]
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## ⚠️ Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### "HTTPS: HTTP only" in Security Posture
|
||||
|
||||
If your reverse proxy terminates SSL but Pulse shows "HTTPS: HTTP only" in Settings → Security:
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause**: Pulse detects HTTPS in two ways:
|
||||
1. Direct TLS connection (`req.TLS != nil`)
|
||||
2. The `X-Forwarded-Proto: https` header
|
||||
|
||||
If your proxy terminates SSL but doesn't forward this header, Pulse sees plain HTTP.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Add the `X-Forwarded-Proto` header in your proxy config:
|
||||
|
||||
```nginx
|
||||
# Nginx
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```caddy
|
||||
# Caddy (automatic, but explicit override if needed)
|
||||
header_up X-Forwarded-Proto {scheme}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```apache
|
||||
# Apache
|
||||
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Issues
|
||||
|
||||
- **"Connection Lost"**: WebSocket upgrade failed. Check `Upgrade` and `Connection` headers.
|
||||
- **502 Bad Gateway**: Pulse is not running on port 7655.
|
||||
- **CORS Errors**: Do not add CORS headers in the proxy; Pulse handles them. Set **Settings → System → Network → Allowed Origins** or use `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` if needed.
|
||||
- **OIDC redirects fail**: Ensure `X-Forwarded-Proto` is set (see above).
|
||||
- **Wrong client IPs**: Set `PULSE_TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS` to your proxy IP/CIDR so `X-Forwarded-For` is trusted.

# Storage Architecture Proposal
|
||||
|
||||
This document defines the intended storage model for Pulse beyond the current "show storage resources and raw S.M.A.R.T. fields" behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
The goal is to make storage genuinely useful for operators, not merely visible.
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Today Pulse can surface storage-adjacent data from several sources:
|
||||
|
||||
- Proxmox storage pools
|
||||
- Proxmox physical disks
|
||||
- Ceph
|
||||
- host-agent disk inventories
|
||||
- host-agent S.M.A.R.T. data
|
||||
- TrueNAS pools/datasets/disks
|
||||
|
||||
That is useful, but it is not yet a coherent storage product.
|
||||
|
||||
The current gaps are:
|
||||
|
||||
- disk data is source-shaped instead of operator-shaped
|
||||
- S.M.A.R.T. attributes are visible, but risk is not modeled
|
||||
- topology is weak: disk -> pool/array/host/workload impact is incomplete
|
||||
- agent-only hosts need first-class storage treatment, not second-class fallback behavior
|
||||
- storage alerting is mostly threshold-oriented rather than consequence-oriented
|
||||
|
||||
## Product Principle
|
||||
|
||||
Operators do not want "S.M.A.R.T. monitoring."
|
||||
|
||||
They want answers to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Which disks are at risk?
|
||||
- Which pools/arrays are at risk because of those disks?
|
||||
- Is redundancy still intact?
|
||||
- Is this getting worse?
|
||||
- What needs action now?
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse should therefore treat S.M.A.R.T. as one input signal inside a broader storage health model.
|
||||
|
||||
## Primary User Jobs
|
||||
|
||||
### Homelab / power users
|
||||
|
||||
- Identify failing disks before data loss
|
||||
- See parity/cache/array issues clearly
|
||||
- Map a bad disk to a specific device/serial/path
|
||||
- Understand whether replacement is urgent or watch-only
|
||||
|
||||
### SMB / business operators
|
||||
|
||||
- See storage risk by host, cluster, site, and business impact
|
||||
- Know whether backup targets and primary storage remain healthy
|
||||
- Detect degraded redundancy, not just degraded disks
|
||||
- Track long-term degradation trends and maintenance windows
|
||||
|
||||
## Canonical Storage Model
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse should model storage in four layers.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Physical Disk
|
||||
|
||||
This is the actual block device.
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical resource type:
|
||||
|
||||
- `physical_disk`
|
||||
|
||||
Identity signals, strongest first:
|
||||
|
||||
- serial
|
||||
- WWN / EUI
|
||||
- controller-specific stable disk ID
|
||||
- source-scoped fallback `(host, device path)`
|
||||
|
||||
Core fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- serial, WWN, device path
|
||||
- model, vendor, firmware
|
||||
- transport / type (`sata`, `sas`, `nvme`, `usb`, etc.)
|
||||
- size
|
||||
- health / risk / confidence
|
||||
- temperature
|
||||
- wear indicators
|
||||
- media / pending / reallocated / CRC / unsafe-shutdown style counters
|
||||
- telemetry freshness
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Storage Membership
|
||||
|
||||
This is the topology layer.
|
||||
|
||||
A disk is often only meaningful in context:
|
||||
|
||||
- member of mdraid array
|
||||
- member of ZFS vdev/pool
|
||||
- Unraid parity/data/cache assignment
|
||||
- Ceph OSD backing device
|
||||
- PBS datastore backing disk set
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse should model storage membership as first-class relationships, not implicit text fields.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- disk -> host
|
||||
- disk -> array
|
||||
- disk -> pool
|
||||
- disk -> OSD
|
||||
- pool -> workloads
|
||||
- datastore -> backup jobs / recovery points
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Logical Storage Object
|
||||
|
||||
These are the operator-facing objects:
|
||||
|
||||
- pool
|
||||
- datastore
|
||||
- filesystem
|
||||
- dataset
|
||||
- share
|
||||
- Ceph cluster / pool
|
||||
- backup repository
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical resource types already mostly exist:
|
||||
|
||||
- `storage`
|
||||
- `datastore`
|
||||
- `ceph`
|
||||
|
||||
These resources should carry:
|
||||
|
||||
- capacity
|
||||
- health
|
||||
- redundancy state
|
||||
- rebuild/resilver/scrub state
|
||||
- impacted children
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Consumer Impact
|
||||
|
||||
This is the "why should I care" layer.
|
||||
|
||||
Storage objects should be traceable to:
|
||||
|
||||
- VMs
|
||||
- LXCs
|
||||
- app containers / pods
|
||||
- backup jobs
|
||||
- recovery points
|
||||
|
||||
This allows Pulse to answer:
|
||||
|
||||
- a degraded mirror affects these VMs
|
||||
- this backup datastore is filling and will affect these protection jobs
|
||||
- this failed disk left this array with no redundancy
|
||||
|
||||
## S.M.A.R.T. Model
|
||||
|
||||
### Raw telemetry
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse should ingest raw S.M.A.R.T. data when available, including vendor-specific subsets.
|
||||
|
||||
Raw attributes remain important in the detail view, but they should not be the primary UX.
|
||||
|
||||
### Derived model
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse should derive a normalized disk health model from raw telemetry:
|
||||
|
||||
- `health_state`
|
||||
- healthy
|
||||
- watch
|
||||
- degraded
|
||||
- critical
|
||||
- unknown
|
||||
- `risk_score`
|
||||
- 0-100
|
||||
- `confidence`
|
||||
- low / medium / high
|
||||
- `reason_codes`
|
||||
- `pending_sectors_nonzero`
|
||||
- `reallocated_sectors_rising`
|
||||
- `nvme_spare_low`
|
||||
- `temperature_sustained_high`
|
||||
- `smart_failed`
|
||||
- `telemetry_missing`
|
||||
|
||||
### Trend model
|
||||
|
||||
Current values are not enough.
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse should preserve time series for:
|
||||
|
||||
- temperature
|
||||
- reallocated sectors
|
||||
- pending sectors
|
||||
- media errors
|
||||
- NVMe percentage used
|
||||
- available spare
|
||||
- unsafe shutdowns
|
||||
|
||||
Trend direction matters:
|
||||
|
||||
- stable
|
||||
- improving
|
||||
- slowly worsening
|
||||
- sharply worsening
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Proxmox
|
||||
|
||||
Use Proxmox for:
|
||||
|
||||
- storage pools
|
||||
- physical disks when available
|
||||
- Ceph
|
||||
- host/node topology
|
||||
|
||||
Use agent linkage to enrich Proxmox disks with:
|
||||
|
||||
- better temperature coverage
|
||||
- richer S.M.A.R.T. attributes
|
||||
- better device identity
|
||||
|
||||
### Unified host agent
|
||||
|
||||
The host agent must be a first-class storage source, not only an enrichment source.
|
||||
|
||||
For agent-backed hosts, Pulse should directly create:
|
||||
|
||||
- `physical_disk` resources from agent S.M.A.R.T.
|
||||
- logical storage resources when the agent can report them
|
||||
- storage topology when the platform supports it
|
||||
|
||||
This matters for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Unraid
|
||||
- generic Linux servers
|
||||
- bare-metal NAS boxes
|
||||
- non-Proxmox storage hosts
|
||||
|
||||
### Unraid
|
||||
|
||||
Unraid deserves explicit treatment, not generic-Linux treatment forever.
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse should ultimately understand:
|
||||
|
||||
- array state
|
||||
- parity devices
|
||||
- cache pools
|
||||
- disk disabled / missing / emulated state
|
||||
- rebuild progress
|
||||
- filesystem status
|
||||
- share impact
|
||||
|
||||
Initial fallback can still be generic host-agent disk ingestion, but the end state should be Unraid-aware topology.
|
||||
|
||||
### ZFS / TrueNAS
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse should normalize:
|
||||
|
||||
- pool health
|
||||
- vdev health
|
||||
- read/write/checksum errors
|
||||
- scrub status and age
|
||||
- resilver status and age
|
||||
- per-disk membership
|
||||
|
||||
### Generic Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Even without a rich platform API, Pulse should still provide value:
|
||||
|
||||
- agent physical disks
|
||||
- mdraid state if available
|
||||
- mount/device correlation
|
||||
- filesystem usage
|
||||
- telemetry coverage warnings
|
||||
|
||||
## Alerts
|
||||
|
||||
Storage alerts should be layered.
|
||||
|
||||
### Disk alerts
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- S.M.A.R.T. failed
|
||||
- pending sectors non-zero
|
||||
- reallocated sectors rising
|
||||
- NVMe spare below threshold
|
||||
- sustained high temperature
|
||||
|
||||
### Redundancy alerts
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- pool degraded but still redundant
|
||||
- array has lost redundancy
|
||||
- parity invalid / parity missing
|
||||
- OSD count below safe threshold
|
||||
|
||||
### Capacity alerts
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- pool nearing full
|
||||
- backup datastore nearing full
|
||||
- cache pool under pressure
|
||||
|
||||
### Telemetry coverage alerts
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- disk telemetry missing for previously known disk
|
||||
- controller blocks S.M.A.R.T. visibility
|
||||
- host stopped reporting disk inventory
|
||||
|
||||
This category is important because silent storage blind spots are dangerous.
|
||||
|
||||
## UX Proposal
|
||||
|
||||
The storage surface should be organized around three questions.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. What is at risk?
|
||||
|
||||
Top-level storage page should prioritize:
|
||||
|
||||
- disks needing attention
|
||||
- degraded pools/arrays
|
||||
- rebuilds/resilvers in progress
|
||||
- backup repositories at risk
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Where is the risk?
|
||||
|
||||
Every disk or pool should show context:
|
||||
|
||||
- host
|
||||
- platform
|
||||
- array / pool / vdev / parity role
|
||||
- impacted workloads / backups
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. What should I do?
|
||||
|
||||
Each finding should have a recommended action:
|
||||
|
||||
- replace now
|
||||
- schedule maintenance
|
||||
- monitor trend
|
||||
- investigate controller / cable / cooling
|
||||
- improve telemetry coverage
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended Page Structure
|
||||
|
||||
### Fleet summary
|
||||
|
||||
- disks at risk
|
||||
- degraded storage objects
|
||||
- active rebuild/resilver operations
|
||||
- storage capacity hotspots
|
||||
|
||||
### Disk view
|
||||
|
||||
Grouped and filterable by:
|
||||
|
||||
- host
|
||||
- pool / array
|
||||
- risk state
|
||||
- platform
|
||||
- disk type
|
||||
|
||||
Columns:
|
||||
|
||||
- device / serial
|
||||
- host
|
||||
- role
|
||||
- health
|
||||
- risk
|
||||
- temperature
|
||||
- wear
|
||||
- trend
|
||||
- last seen
|
||||
|
||||
### Topology view
|
||||
|
||||
For a selected disk:
|
||||
|
||||
- parent host
|
||||
- array / pool / vdev membership
|
||||
- redundancy state
|
||||
- affected storage objects
|
||||
- affected workloads / backups
|
||||
|
||||
### Detail drawer
|
||||
|
||||
Include:
|
||||
|
||||
- normalized summary
|
||||
- risk reasons
|
||||
- trend charts
|
||||
- raw S.M.A.R.T. attributes
|
||||
- source provenance
|
||||
- telemetry freshness
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Model Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
The canonical unified resource model should support:
|
||||
|
||||
- `physical_disk` from every valid source
|
||||
- disk identity merge across sources
|
||||
- parent/child relationships between host, disk, pool, workload
|
||||
- source provenance per disk field when signals disagree
|
||||
- storage topology edges, not just flat metadata blobs
|
||||
- freshness per source and per sub-signal
|
||||
|
||||
## Rollout Plan
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Canonical disk coverage
|
||||
|
||||
- ensure every agent-backed host can emit `physical_disk`
|
||||
- unify disk identity across agent / Proxmox / TrueNAS sources
|
||||
- show agent-only disks in storage
|
||||
- attach disk metrics targets consistently
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Disk health model
|
||||
|
||||
- add derived S.M.A.R.T. health / risk / confidence
|
||||
- add reason codes
|
||||
- add telemetry freshness semantics
|
||||
- improve disk alerts
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Topology
|
||||
|
||||
- model disk -> pool/array/vdev membership
|
||||
- model redundancy state
|
||||
- propagate impact to workloads / backups
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Platform specialization
|
||||
|
||||
- Unraid-aware storage model
|
||||
- deeper ZFS / TrueNAS topology
|
||||
- mdraid normalization
|
||||
- controller-specific enrichments where feasible
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5: Operator UX
|
||||
|
||||
- risk-first storage landing page
|
||||
- action-oriented recommendations
|
||||
- maintenance-friendly detail workflows
|
||||
|
||||
## Near-Term Priority
|
||||
|
||||
If I were sequencing this immediately, I would prioritize:
|
||||
|
||||
1. agent-only physical disk coverage
|
||||
2. canonical disk identity merge by serial / WWN
|
||||
3. disk metrics and S.M.A.R.T. trend persistence for agent-backed disks
|
||||
4. derived disk risk model
|
||||
5. topology edges for arrays/pools/parity
|
||||
|
||||
That gives Pulse a strong storage foundation before investing in more UI complexity.
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition of "Useful"
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse storage is useful when an operator can answer, in under a minute:
|
||||
|
||||
- what is unhealthy
|
||||
- what is merely noisy
|
||||
- what is losing redundancy
|
||||
- what will impact workloads or backups
|
||||
- what needs action now
|
||||
|
||||
If the user still has to mentally decode raw S.M.A.R.T. tables to get there, the storage model is not finished.

# Temperature Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse can collect host temperatures in two supported ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- Pulse agent on Proxmox hosts (recommended)
|
||||
- SSH-based collection from the Pulse server (fallback or for non-agent hosts)
|
||||
|
||||
If you are upgrading from older releases that used `pulse-sensor-proxy`, see the legacy cleanup section below. The sensor proxy is no longer supported in Pulse.
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended: Pulse Agent (Proxmox)
|
||||
|
||||
The unified agent runs on each Proxmox host and reports temperatures locally with no SSH keys needed.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL http://<pulse-ip>:7655/install.sh | \
|
||||
bash -s -- --url http://<pulse-ip>:7655 --token <api-token> --enable-proxmox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
- Install `lm-sensors` on each host (`apt install lm-sensors && sensors-detect --auto`).
|
||||
- Temperatures appear automatically once the agent reports.
|
||||
- When a Proxmox host has recent usable agent temperature data, Pulse treats the agent as the source of truth and does not also try SSH temperature collection for that host.
|
||||
|
||||
## Windows temperatures
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows hosts with an NVIDIA driver, the unified agent uses the driver's
|
||||
`nvidia-smi` executable to report GPU temperature, utilization, and VRAM
|
||||
usage. No extra Pulse configuration is required; `nvidia-smi.exe` must be
|
||||
available on the agent service's `PATH`.
|
||||
|
||||
Supported physical disks are read separately through Windows Storage
|
||||
reliability counters. Missing counters or unsupported devices are simply
|
||||
omitted.
|
||||
|
||||
Windows does not provide a dependable built-in API for CPU or motherboard
|
||||
temperatures. For those readings, install and run
|
||||
[LibreHardwareMonitor](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor)
|
||||
as Administrator, leave its port at `8085`, and enable
|
||||
**Options → Remote Web Server → Run**. Do not allow inbound network access to
|
||||
port `8085` in Windows Firewall; Pulse reads only the local
|
||||
`http://127.0.0.1:8085/data.json` endpoint. Web authentication must be disabled
|
||||
for this loopback integration.
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse accepts only bounded CPU and motherboard Celsius readings from that
|
||||
endpoint. It ignores LibreHardwareMonitor disk and GPU nodes so the native
|
||||
Windows Storage and `nvidia-smi` providers remain authoritative. If the helper
|
||||
is absent or unavailable, the rest of the Windows report is unaffected.
|
||||
|
||||
## SSH-Based Collection (Fallback)
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse can also collect temperatures by SSHing into each host that does not have usable agent temperature data. The SSH path runs the Pulse sensor wrapper when present, falls back to `sensors -j`, and can fall back again to `/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp` when available (for example, on Raspberry Pi).
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- SSH connectivity from the Pulse server to each host
|
||||
- `lm-sensors` installed and `sensors -j` returning JSON on the host
|
||||
- A restricted SSH key entry that only allows the Pulse sensor wrapper
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Generate the node setup command from the UI:
|
||||
**Settings -> Infrastructure -> Add Node**
|
||||
2. Run the command on each Proxmox host. The setup script can:
|
||||
- Create the required API user and permissions
|
||||
- Add a restricted SSH key entry for temperature collection
|
||||
- Install `lm-sensors` (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
The SSH entry added to `authorized_keys` is restricted to the Pulse sensor wrapper, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
command="/usr/local/sbin/pulse-sensors",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-pty <public-key> # pulse-sensors
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you use a non-standard SSH port, set `SSH_PORT` (system-wide) or configure it in **Settings -> System**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Containerized Pulse
|
||||
|
||||
SSH-based collection from inside a container is not recommended for production. Prefer the agent method or run Pulse on the host. For dev/test, you can allow SSH from the container with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
PULSE_DEV_ALLOW_CONTAINER_SSH=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Verification
|
||||
|
||||
From the Pulse server, verify that SSH and sensors output work:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh -i /path/to/key root@node "sensors -j"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For platforms that expose a thermal zone file:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh -i /path/to/key root@node "cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- If `sensors -j` returns empty output, run `sensors-detect --auto` and retry.
|
||||
- If temperatures show as unavailable, confirm the host actually exposes sensor data.
|
||||
- If the unified agent is already reporting temperatures for a Proxmox host, SSH collection is not required for that host.
|
||||
- Ensure the SSH key entry is present and restricted to `/usr/local/sbin/pulse-sensors`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Legacy Cleanup (If Upgrading)
|
||||
|
||||
If you still have the old sensor proxy installed from prior releases, remove it from each **Proxmox host** (not the Pulse container) with the supported cleanup helper:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcourtman/Pulse/main/scripts/uninstall-sensor-proxy.sh | \
|
||||
sudo bash -s -- --uninstall --purge
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you also want to remove the old `pulse-monitor@pam` API user and tokens before re-adding the node, include `--remove-proxmox-access`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcourtman/Pulse/main/scripts/uninstall-sensor-proxy.sh | \
|
||||
sudo bash -s -- --uninstall --purge --remove-proxmox-access
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Reinstalling or upgrading the Pulse container does **not** remove the sensor proxy from the host — they are separate installations. If you skip this cleanup, the selfheal timer will keep running and may generate recurring `TASK ERROR` entries in the Proxmox task log.

# 🔧 Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚡ Quick Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
### I forgot my password
|
||||
**Docker**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker exec pulse rm /data/.env
|
||||
docker restart pulse
|
||||
# Access UI again. Pulse will require a bootstrap token for setup.
|
||||
# Get it with:
|
||||
docker exec pulse /app/pulse bootstrap-token
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Systemd**:
|
||||
Delete `/etc/pulse/.env` and restart the service. Pulse will require a bootstrap token for setup:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo pulse bootstrap-token
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Proxmox LXC** (installed from the Proxmox shell):
|
||||
Pulse runs inside the container, so run the same steps through `pct exec` on the Proxmox host:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pct exec <ctid> -- rm /etc/pulse/.env
|
||||
pct exec <ctid> -- systemctl restart pulse
|
||||
pct exec <ctid> -- pulse bootstrap-token
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you only missed the token during a fresh install (no password set yet), skip the first two commands and just read it back with the last one.
|
||||
|
||||
### Port change didn't take effect
|
||||
1. Check which service is running: `systemctl status pulse` (legacy installs may use `pulse-backend`).
|
||||
2. Verify environment override: `systemctl show pulse --property=Environment`.
|
||||
3. Docker: Ensure you updated the `-p` flag (e.g., `-p 8080:7655`).
|
||||
|
||||
### "Connection Refused"
|
||||
- Check if Pulse is running.
|
||||
- Verify the port is open on your firewall.
|
||||
- **PBS**: Remember PBS uses port **8007** and requires **HTTPS**.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔍 Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
#### "Invalid username or password" after setup
|
||||
- **Docker Compose**: Did you escape the `$` signs in your hash? Use `$$2a$$...`.
|
||||
- **Truncated Hash**: Ensure your bcrypt hash is exactly 60 characters.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Cannot login / 401 Unauthorized
|
||||
- Clear browser cookies.
|
||||
- Check if your IP is locked out (wait 15 mins).
|
||||
- If another admin can log in, use `POST /api/security/reset-lockout` to clear the lockout for your username or IP.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Audit Log verification shows unsigned events
|
||||
- **Symptom**: Audit Log entries show “Unsigned” or verification fails in the UI.
|
||||
- **Root cause**: Audit signing is disabled (crypto manager unavailable), so events are stored without signatures.
|
||||
- **Fix**: Ensure `.encryption.key` is present and Pro/legacy Pro+/Cloud audit logging is enabled, then restart Pulse to regenerate `.audit-signing.key`. Newly created events will be signed; existing unsigned events remain unsigned.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Audit Log is empty
|
||||
- **Symptom**: Audit Log shows zero events or "Console Logging Only."
|
||||
- **Root cause**: Community plan uses console logging only, or Pro/legacy Pro+/Cloud audit logging is not enabled.
|
||||
- **Fix**: Use Pro, legacy Pro+, or Cloud with audit logging enabled, then generate new audit events (logins, token creation, password changes).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Audit Log verification fails for older events
|
||||
- **Symptom**: Older events fail verification while newer events pass.
|
||||
- **Root cause**: The audit signing key changed (for example, `.audit-signing.key` was regenerated), so signatures no longer match.
|
||||
- **Fix**: Restore the previous `.audit-signing.key` from backup to verify older events. If rotated intentionally, expect older events to fail verification.
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitoring Data
|
||||
|
||||
#### Agent fleet update or identity issue
|
||||
|
||||
- Open an outdated-agent notice or
|
||||
`/settings/infrastructure?agentDoctor=1` to open **Agent Doctor** and
|
||||
copy the platform-specific command for each reported host. This is a manual
|
||||
handoff; Pulse does not remotely execute the command.
|
||||
- Administrators can call the read-only Agent Fleet Doctor endpoint,
|
||||
`GET /api/agents/diagnostics`, to inspect liveness, version drift, profile
|
||||
deployment drift, expected telemetry gaps, and identity-split evidence. It
|
||||
does not change agent configuration or enqueue a repair.
|
||||
- A current Pulse server does not prove fleet convergence. Eligible v6 agents
|
||||
update asynchronously; v5, PVE, disabled, and failed updates require manual
|
||||
handling.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Removed Pulse server but `pulse-agent` still logs connection failures
|
||||
|
||||
Removing the Pulse server does not remove agent services installed on monitored
|
||||
hosts. On a systemd host, stop and disable the orphaned service to halt retries:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo systemctl disable --now pulse-agent.service
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the Pulse server is still reachable, use its generated uninstall command so
|
||||
the agent can deregister cleanly. Otherwise, stopping the service is the safe
|
||||
first step before platform-local cleanup.
|
||||
|
||||
#### VMs show "-" for disk usage
|
||||
- Install **QEMU Guest Agent** in the VM.
|
||||
- Enable "QEMU Guest Agent" in Proxmox VM Options.
|
||||
- Restart the VM.
|
||||
- See [VM Disk Monitoring](VM_DISK_MONITORING.md).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Temperature data missing
|
||||
- Install `lm-sensors` on the host.
|
||||
- Run `sensors-detect`.
|
||||
- Install the unified agent on the Proxmox host with `--enable-proxmox`.
|
||||
- See [Temperature Monitoring](TEMPERATURE_MONITORING.md).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Docker hosts appearing/disappearing
|
||||
- **Duplicate IDs**: Cloned VMs often share `/etc/machine-id`.
|
||||
- **Fix**: Run `rm /etc/machine-id && systemd-machine-id-setup` on the clone.
|
||||
- **Identity note**: The displayed IP is not the durable identity. Pulse uses
|
||||
the machine ID or an explicit agent ID, so two clones with the same value can
|
||||
collapse into one record even when their hostnames or IP addresses differ.
|
||||
|
||||
### Notifications
|
||||
|
||||
#### Emails not sending
|
||||
- Open **Alerts → Notifications** first. Pulse shows a delivery warning when
|
||||
failed or dead-lettered notifications remain in the persistent queue; a
|
||||
missing queue-health read is shown as unavailable rather than healthy.
|
||||
- Check SMTP settings in **Alerts → Notifications**.
|
||||
- Check logs: `docker logs pulse | grep email`.
|
||||
- Ensure your SMTP provider allows the connection (e.g., Gmail App Passwords).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Webhooks failing
|
||||
- Check the delivery warning in **Alerts → Notifications** and use **Send test**
|
||||
after correcting the destination. Recoverable retries do not trigger the
|
||||
warning; retained terminal failures do.
|
||||
- Verify the URL is reachable from the Pulse server.
|
||||
- If targeting private IPs, allow them in **Settings → System → Network → Webhook Security**.
|
||||
- Check Pulse logs for HTTP status codes and response bodies.
|
||||
|
||||
### TrueNAS
|
||||
|
||||
#### "TrueNAS service unavailable"
|
||||
- Ensure TrueNAS was added in **Settings → TrueNAS** with a valid URL and API key.
|
||||
- Check that the TrueNAS system is reachable from the Pulse server (default HTTPS port).
|
||||
- Verify the API key has read access. Test with:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -sk -H "Authorization: Bearer <api-key>" https://<truenas-ip>/api/v2.0/system/info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### TrueNAS pools/datasets not appearing
|
||||
- TrueNAS data appears in the unified resource model and may take one polling cycle (30s) to appear.
|
||||
- Check **Infrastructure** (TrueNAS host), **Storage** (pools/datasets), and **Recovery** (snapshots/replication).
|
||||
|
||||
### Navigation (v6)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Old bookmarks don't work
|
||||
- Legacy URLs (`/proxmox`, `/docker`, `/kubernetes`, `/hosts`, `/services`) are not supported in v6.
|
||||
- Update bookmarks to canonical routes. See [Migration Guide](MIGRATION_UNIFIED_NAV.md).
|
||||
|
||||
### Relay / Mobile
|
||||
|
||||
#### Relay showing "Disconnected"
|
||||
- Confirm a valid Relay, Pro, grandfathered Pro+, or Cloud license is active (**Settings → Plans & Billing**).
|
||||
- Check Pulse server can reach the relay server (outbound WebSocket to `relay.pulserelay.pro`).
|
||||
- Review logs: `journalctl -u pulse | grep relay` or `docker logs pulse | grep relay`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Advanced Diagnostics
|
||||
|
||||
### Correlate Logs with Requests
|
||||
Every API response has an `X-Request-ID` header. Use it to find the exact log entry:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# systemd / Proxmox LXC
|
||||
journalctl -u pulse --no-pager | grep "request_id=abc123"
|
||||
|
||||
# Docker
|
||||
docker logs pulse 2>&1 | grep "request_id=abc123"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Permissions (Proxmox)
|
||||
If Pulse can't see VMs or storage, check the user permissions on Proxmox:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pveum user permissions <user>@pam
|
||||
```
|
||||
At minimum, ensure the user/token has read access for inventory and metrics:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Sys.Audit`
|
||||
- `Datastore.Audit`
|
||||
|
||||
For VM guest agent features on PVE 9+, prefer:
|
||||
|
||||
- `VM.GuestAgent.Audit` — required for disk usage and guest info
|
||||
- `VM.GuestAgent.FileRead` — required for accurate memory monitoring (excludes buff/cache)
|
||||
|
||||
For PVE 8 only, use `VM.Monitor` instead of the `VM.GuestAgent.*` privileges.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: The built-in `PVEAuditor` role cannot be modified. Create a custom role (e.g. `PulseMonitor`) with the above privileges added, and assign it to your Pulse API token. After upgrading to PVE 9, add the `VM.GuestAgent.*` privileges and remove legacy `VM.Monitor` from the custom role.
|
||||
|
||||
**Rocky Linux / RHEL VMs**: The default qemu-guest-agent configuration may block file-read RPCs (`guest-file-open`, `guest-file-read`, `guest-file-close`). If memory or disk data is missing for these VMs, check `/etc/sysconfig/qemu-ga` and ensure those operations are not blocked, then restart the agent. Refer to your distro's qemu-guest-agent documentation for the exact config syntax.
|
||||
|
||||
### Recovery Mode
|
||||
If you are completely locked out, you can trigger a recovery token from localhost:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:7655/api/security/recovery \
|
||||
-d '{"action":"generate_token","duration":30}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
Use the returned token in `X-Recovery-Token` when calling `/api/security/recovery` to enable or disable local-only auth bypass (`disable_auth` / `enable_auth`). Token generation is localhost-only.
|
||||
|
||||
Example (enable recovery mode):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:7655/api/security/recovery \
|
||||
-H "X-Recovery-Token: <token>" \
|
||||
-d '{"action":"disable_auth"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🆘 Getting Help
|
||||
|
||||
If you're still stuck:
|
||||
1. **Check Logs**: `journalctl -u pulse -n 100` or `docker logs --tail 100 pulse`.
|
||||
2. **Check Version**: `curl http://localhost:7655/api/version`.
|
||||
3. **Open Issue**: Report on [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse/issues) with your logs and version info.

# TrueNAS Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse v6 includes first-class monitoring for **TrueNAS SCALE** and **TrueNAS CORE** systems. TrueNAS data flows through the unified resource model, appearing alongside Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes, and host agent data throughout the UI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to **Settings → TrueNAS**.
|
||||
2. Click **Add Connection**.
|
||||
3. Enter the TrueNAS URL (e.g., `https://truenas.local`) and an API key.
|
||||
4. Click **Test Connection** → **Save**.
|
||||
5. Data appears within one polling cycle (~30 seconds).
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating a TrueNAS API Key
|
||||
|
||||
On your TrueNAS system:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to **Settings → API Keys** (SCALE) or **System → API Keys** (CORE).
|
||||
2. Click **Add** and create a new key.
|
||||
3. Copy the key value and paste it into Pulse.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Tip**: A read-only key is sufficient for monitoring on most TrueNAS versions. Native app control actions require a key with the corresponding TrueNAS app permissions.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> **TrueNAS SCALE 25.10**: API keys are linked to a user, and keys for users with the Readonly Admin role can be rejected with 403 on endpoints Pulse polls (TrueNAS serves these through its deprecated REST bridge). Until Pulse moves to the TrueNAS WebSocket API, use a key linked to a Full Admin user on 25.10.
|
||||
|
||||
## What Gets Monitored
|
||||
|
||||
| Data | Unified Page | Details |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| System info (hostname, version, uptime) | Infrastructure | CPU, memory, health status |
|
||||
| Virtual machines | TrueNAS Overview | State, CPU, memory, boot mode, devices, and security flags from the TrueNAS VM API |
|
||||
| Apps | TrueNAS Overview | Native app state, image/version, ports, volumes, networks, and runtime container details |
|
||||
| ZFS Pools | Storage | Total/used/free capacity, pool status (ONLINE/DEGRADED/FAULTED) |
|
||||
| ZFS Datasets | Storage | Used/available space, mount status, read-only flag |
|
||||
| Physical Disks | Storage | Model, serial, size, transport type, rotational flag |
|
||||
| ZFS Snapshots | Recovery | Dataset, creation time, size, referenced data |
|
||||
| Replication Tasks | Recovery | Source/target datasets, direction, last run status |
|
||||
| TrueNAS Alerts | Alerts | Native TrueNAS alert messages and severity levels |
|
||||
|
||||
## Unified Resource Mapping
|
||||
|
||||
TrueNAS resources are mapped into the unified resource model:
|
||||
|
||||
- **TrueNAS host** → appears as a resource with `source: truenas` on the **Infrastructure** page.
|
||||
- **TrueNAS VMs** → appear as canonical `vm` workloads on the **TrueNAS** page.
|
||||
- **TrueNAS apps** → appear as canonical `app-container` workloads on the **TrueNAS** page.
|
||||
- **ZFS pools and datasets** → appear on the **Storage** page.
|
||||
- **ZFS snapshots and replication** → appear on the **Recovery** page as recovery points.
|
||||
- **TrueNAS alerts** → surfaced on the **Alerts** page alongside Proxmox and other platform alerts.
|
||||
|
||||
Resources from TrueNAS can be filtered using the **source** filter on any page.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple TrueNAS Systems
|
||||
|
||||
Add as many TrueNAS connections as needed. Each connection is polled independently. Resources from all connected systems are merged into the unified view.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable | Description | Default |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `PULSE_ENABLE_TRUENAS` | Enable/disable TrueNAS integration | `true` |
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage
|
||||
|
||||
TrueNAS connection credentials are stored encrypted in `truenas.enc` in the Pulse data directory (`/etc/pulse` or `/data`).
|
||||
|
||||
## API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
All endpoints require admin authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `GET` | `/api/truenas/connections` | List all configured TrueNAS connections |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/api/truenas/connections` | Add a new TrueNAS connection |
|
||||
| `DELETE` | `/api/truenas/connections/{id}` | Remove a TrueNAS connection |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/api/truenas/connections/test` | Test a connection before saving |
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding a connection (API)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:7655/api/truenas/connections \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"name":"nas-1","host":"https://truenas.local","api_key":"your-api-key"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing a connection (API)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:7655/api/truenas/connections/test \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"name":"nas-1","host":"https://truenas.local","api_key":"your-api-key"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "TrueNAS service unavailable"
|
||||
- Check that the TrueNAS system is reachable from the Pulse server.
|
||||
- Verify the URL includes the protocol (`https://`).
|
||||
- Test connectivity manually:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -sk -H "Authorization: Bearer <api-key>" https://<truenas-ip>/api/v2.0/system/info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### No data appearing after adding connection
|
||||
- Wait at least 30 seconds for the first poll cycle.
|
||||
- Check Pulse logs for TrueNAS-related errors:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
journalctl -u pulse | grep -i truenas
|
||||
# or
|
||||
docker logs pulse | grep -i truenas
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Stale TrueNAS data
|
||||
- If TrueNAS data stops updating, the source status transitions to `stale` after ~120 seconds.
|
||||
- Check TrueNAS connectivity and API key validity.
|
||||
- Verify with the API:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://localhost:7655/api/resources \
|
||||
| jq '.resources[] | select(.platformType == "truenas")'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Disabling TrueNAS integration
|
||||
Set `PULSE_ENABLE_TRUENAS=false` and restart Pulse. Existing connection data is preserved but polling stops.

# Pulse Unified Agent
|
||||
|
||||
The unified agent (`pulse-agent`) is the single host-installed Pulse infrastructure agent binary. It combines host, Docker/Podman, Kubernetes, Proxmox-local, and other enabled node-local telemetry modules into one deployment and one service.
|
||||
Install it on standalone hosts and on machines where Pulse needs full node-local telemetry.
|
||||
For API-backed platforms, start with the platform connection first and add the agent only where local telemetry is needed.
|
||||
|
||||
For Proxmox, install the agent only where you need telemetry that the Proxmox
|
||||
API cannot provide, such as host SMART and temperature data, local
|
||||
ZFS/Ceph/mdadm detail, arbitrary host mount reads, or the full mounted
|
||||
filesystem breakdown for running LXCs. Docker containers inside LXCs can be
|
||||
reported by a Proxmox host agent when the server has explicitly enabled the
|
||||
privacy-bounded LXC inventory mode; Docker/Podman inside VMs still needs a
|
||||
guest-local agent or another explicit guest reporting path.
|
||||
Basic Proxmox inventory and utilization can use a read-only or narrowly scoped
|
||||
Proxmox API token instead. Settings uses that API inventory path as the
|
||||
default for new PVE/PBS setup. See [Agent Security](AGENT_SECURITY.md) for
|
||||
the root-service trade-off, restricted-user expectations, and supply-chain
|
||||
verification guidance.
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: For agent-based temperature monitoring, use `pulse-agent --enable-proxmox` or SSH-based collection. The legacy sensor proxy has been removed. See `docs/TEMPERATURE_MONITORING.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
Generate an installation command in the UI:
|
||||
**Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host**
|
||||
|
||||
Choose a target profile in that screen when you want explicit install flags for Docker, Kubernetes, Proxmox VE, or Proxmox Backup Server.
|
||||
|
||||
The same generated command is also the supported v5-to-v6 agent upgrade path.
|
||||
Run it on the host that already has the v5 `pulse-agent` service to replace the
|
||||
binary and service configuration in place; do not uninstall the old service
|
||||
first unless you are intentionally removing that host from Pulse.
|
||||
|
||||
An installed agent has one **primary** Pulse URL and token. The primary is the
|
||||
only server allowed to supply remote configuration, commands, enrollment, or
|
||||
updates. The same collection can also be sent to explicitly configured,
|
||||
report-only **observer** instances; see [Observer destinations](#observer-destinations).
|
||||
After an upgrade, check the relevant platform page or **Machines** view once
|
||||
the agent has reported, and confirm the host-local version with
|
||||
`pulse-agent --version` if the UI has not received a fresh report yet.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the agent installer served by your Pulse server. It is separate from the
|
||||
top-level GitHub `install.sh`, which installs or updates the Pulse server itself.
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux (systemd)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL http://<pulse-ip>:7655/install.sh | \
|
||||
bash -s -- --url http://<pulse-ip>:7655 --token <api-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### macOS
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL http://<pulse-ip>:7655/install.sh | \
|
||||
bash -s -- --url http://<pulse-ip>:7655 --token <api-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows (PowerShell, run as Administrator)
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
irm http://<pulse-ip>:7655/install.ps1 | iex
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With environment variables:
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
$env:PULSE_URL="http://<pulse-ip>:7655"
|
||||
$env:PULSE_TOKEN="<api-token>"
|
||||
irm http://<pulse-ip>:7655/install.ps1 | iex
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Synology NAS
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL http://<pulse-ip>:7655/install.sh | \
|
||||
bash -s -- --url http://<pulse-ip>:7655 --token <api-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### TrueNAS SCALE/CORE
|
||||
TrueNAS SCALE and TrueNAS CORE are both supported. The installer auto-detects the platform and configures the appropriate service manager (systemd for SCALE, rc.d for CORE).
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL http://<pulse-ip>:7655/install.sh | \
|
||||
bash -s -- --url http://<pulse-ip>:7655 --token <api-token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Host Metrics**: CPU, memory, disk, network I/O, temperatures
|
||||
- **Docker Monitoring**: Container metrics, health checks, Swarm support (when enabled)
|
||||
- **Kubernetes Monitoring**: Cluster, node, pod, and deployment health (when enabled)
|
||||
- **Libvirt/KVM Monitoring**: Read-only VM inventory, state, vCPU, memory, and disk/network rates when the Linux host exposes `virsh`
|
||||
- **XCP-ng Monitoring**: Read-only pool and VM inventory, power state, vCPU, and memory when an XCP-ng control domain exposes `xe`
|
||||
- **External Probes** (Pro): runs availability checks assigned to this agent from the Pulse server and reports the results back — see below
|
||||
- **Auto-Update**: Automatically updates when a new version is released
|
||||
- **Multi-Platform**: Linux, macOS, Windows support
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux, the host module automatically checks for `virsh`. When the agent can
|
||||
open the default libvirt connection read-only, defined domains appear as VM
|
||||
workloads under that host. Collection uses libvirt's bounded bulk statistics
|
||||
interface and does not grant Pulse VM start, stop, console, or configuration
|
||||
authority. If `virsh` is absent, the socket is inaccessible, or the driver does
|
||||
not support the requested statistics, normal host reporting continues without
|
||||
libvirt inventory.
|
||||
|
||||
Appliance packaging can still differ. In particular, a QNAP installation must
|
||||
make its Container Station libvirt client/socket available to the agent service;
|
||||
the presence of KVM processes alone is not enough to establish a readable
|
||||
libvirt connection.
|
||||
|
||||
On XCP-ng, the host module automatically checks for the local `xe` CLI. It
|
||||
uses only bounded `pool-list`, `host-list`, and `vm-list` queries: no XAPI
|
||||
credentials or VM lifecycle authority are added. The XCP-ng pool becomes the
|
||||
host's cluster grouping, and pool-wide VMs are de-duplicated by UUID and
|
||||
parented to the resident Pulse host when that node also reports. If several
|
||||
pool nodes run the Unified Agent, their identical pool views coalesce rather
|
||||
than creating duplicate workloads. A failed `xe` query preserves the last
|
||||
successful inventory while normal host metrics continue to report.
|
||||
|
||||
This local integration covers one XCP-ng pool. Multi-pool deployments that
|
||||
need a central Xen Orchestra connection remain a separate integration surface.
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows CPU and motherboard temperatures
|
||||
|
||||
Windows does not expose dependable built-in CPU or motherboard temperature
|
||||
readings. The Unified Agent can import those readings from
|
||||
[LibreHardwareMonitor](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor),
|
||||
which supplies the required driver-backed hardware access:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run LibreHardwareMonitor as Administrator on the Windows host.
|
||||
2. Keep its HTTP port at the default `8085`.
|
||||
3. Select **Options → Remote Web Server → Run**.
|
||||
4. Do not permit inbound network access to port `8085` in Windows Firewall.
|
||||
Pulse connects only to `http://127.0.0.1:8085/data.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
LibreHardwareMonitor's web authentication must remain disabled for this
|
||||
loopback-only integration. Pulse uses a fixed local URL, follows no redirects,
|
||||
and accepts only bounded, validated CPU and motherboard Celsius readings.
|
||||
If LibreHardwareMonitor is stopped, unavailable, or returns unsupported data,
|
||||
the rest of the Windows host report continues normally.
|
||||
|
||||
Native Windows Storage reliability counters remain the source for supported
|
||||
physical-disk temperatures. NVIDIA GPU telemetry continues to come directly
|
||||
from `nvidia-smi`; Pulse deliberately ignores LibreHardwareMonitor GPU and
|
||||
storage nodes to avoid duplicate or ambiguously correlated readings.
|
||||
|
||||
## External Probes (Pro)
|
||||
|
||||
With the Pro `external_probe` entitlement, availability checks configured in
|
||||
Pulse can be assigned to run from a specific agent instead of the Pulse
|
||||
server (Settings -> Monitoring -> Availability checks -> "Run from"). This is
|
||||
how you monitor a site from the outside: deploy the agent on a machine
|
||||
elsewhere — a cloud VM, a Docker host at another location — and assign checks
|
||||
to it. Target failures are evaluated on the Pulse server through your normal
|
||||
alert routes.
|
||||
|
||||
There is nothing to configure on the agent itself. Assignments arrive through
|
||||
the agent's signed remote configuration, the agent runs each check on its
|
||||
configured interval, and results are delivered with its regular reports.
|
||||
Results survive temporary connectivity loss to the Pulse server in a bounded
|
||||
in-memory queue; if the agent cannot deliver for several check intervals the
|
||||
check shows as indeterminate in Pulse until reports resume. After the
|
||||
five-minute minimum grace window, Pulse raises one
|
||||
`availability_probe_unavailable` warning per disconnected probe, regardless of
|
||||
how many checks it owns. Pulse measures that reporting window from server receipt
|
||||
time rather than the agent's clock, so clock skew cannot create or conceal the
|
||||
disconnect. That warning uses the normal email, webhook, Apprise, and
|
||||
recovery-notification pipeline. When Pulse Mobile is paired through Relay, Pulse
|
||||
also sends a privacy-safe `external_probe_offline` push linked to the canonical
|
||||
mobile attention item without exposing target names or addresses. The alert
|
||||
identity belongs to the probe agent, so adding or removing an assigned check
|
||||
does not resolve and reopen it.
|
||||
|
||||
When the host heartbeat itself is offline, Pulse keeps the existing
|
||||
host-offline alert as the single canonical incident and suppresses the
|
||||
probe-results warning. Assigned probe hosts still receive the external-probe
|
||||
mobile push, but operators do not get two normal alerts for the same agent
|
||||
failure.
|
||||
|
||||
This has a complementary dark-site path: if the entire Pulse instance or its
|
||||
site goes offline, Pulse Relay independently sends its existing instance
|
||||
offline push after five minutes. Together, probe-loss alerts while Pulse is
|
||||
online and Relay's instance-loss alert while Pulse is dark ensure the
|
||||
outside-monitoring path cannot disappear silently. Relay does not evaluate
|
||||
individual target results while the Pulse server is offline.
|
||||
|
||||
The module appears as `availability` in the agent's module status when at
|
||||
least one check is assigned.
|
||||
|
||||
Note for ICMP (ping) checks: the probe uses the system `ping` binary. In
|
||||
containers or hardened service units without `CAP_NET_RAW`, ICMP checks fail;
|
||||
prefer TCP or HTTP checks there, or grant the capability. See "ICMP probe
|
||||
privileges" in docs/CONFIGURATION.md.
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom metrics
|
||||
|
||||
The host module can report numeric, boolean, and timestamp metrics produced by
|
||||
local executables or HTTP(S) REST endpoints. This is intended for site-specific
|
||||
signals such as queue depth, UPS load, service status, DNS update age, or a
|
||||
backup timestamp that Pulse cannot collect natively.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a private YAML file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
version: 1
|
||||
sensors:
|
||||
- id: queue_depth
|
||||
name: Queue depth
|
||||
command: /usr/local/libexec/pulse-queue-depth
|
||||
unit: items
|
||||
interval: 1m
|
||||
timeout: 2s
|
||||
warningAbove: 20
|
||||
criticalAbove: 50
|
||||
alertOnError: true
|
||||
|
||||
- id: main_dns_update
|
||||
name: Main DNS update
|
||||
group: Main server
|
||||
subgroup: Domain
|
||||
kind: timestamp
|
||||
url: https://metrics.example.net/dns/main
|
||||
interval: 1m
|
||||
timeout: 2s
|
||||
staleAfter: 10m
|
||||
warningAbove: 3600
|
||||
criticalAbove: 7200
|
||||
|
||||
- id: checkout_online
|
||||
name: Checkout service
|
||||
group: Main server
|
||||
subgroup: Service statuses
|
||||
kind: boolean
|
||||
url: http://monitoring.internal/checkout
|
||||
criticalBelow: 0.5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then start or restart the agent with
|
||||
`--custom-sensors-file /etc/pulse/custom-sensors.yaml`, or set
|
||||
`PULSE_CUSTOM_SENSORS_FILE` to that absolute path. Each metric configures
|
||||
exactly one source:
|
||||
|
||||
- `command`: an absolute executable path. It receives no arguments and writes
|
||||
one scalar to standard output.
|
||||
- `url`: an absolute HTTP(S) URL polled with `GET`. Redirects are not followed,
|
||||
non-2xx responses fail, and the response is limited to 4 KiB.
|
||||
|
||||
REST endpoints can return a plain scalar or a JSON object:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{"value": 42.5, "observedAt": "2026-07-30T20:00:00Z"}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`value` may be a number, string, or boolean. `observedAt` is optional RFC3339
|
||||
source time. When `staleAfter` is configured, older source data becomes a stale
|
||||
error and follows `alertOnError`.
|
||||
|
||||
`kind` defaults to `number`. Boolean metrics accept true/false, 1/0, yes/no,
|
||||
on/off, up/down, and online/offline; Pulse stores true as 1 and false as 0, so
|
||||
`criticalBelow: 0.5` alerts when a service is offline. Timestamp metrics accept
|
||||
RFC3339 or Unix seconds, display time since the event, and apply thresholds to
|
||||
the age in seconds. Optional `group` and `subgroup` values organize labels in
|
||||
the **Custom Metrics** card.
|
||||
|
||||
The agent evaluates optional `warningAbove`, `criticalAbove`, `warningBelow`,
|
||||
and `criticalBelow` thresholds locally. Pulse displays the typed value and unit
|
||||
under **Custom Metrics** and creates normal warning/critical alerts. A collection
|
||||
failure alerts by default; set `alertOnError: false` to make failures
|
||||
report-only. If a probe fails after a successful reading, the last good value is
|
||||
shown as stale with its original observation time.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration is deliberately local-only. The Pulse server and remote agent
|
||||
configuration cannot supply commands, URLs, or arguments. The file is limited
|
||||
to 32 metrics; intervals must be between 10 seconds and 24 hours; timeouts must
|
||||
be between 100 milliseconds and 10 seconds and shorter than the interval.
|
||||
`staleAfter` must be between 10 seconds and 30 days. At most four probes run
|
||||
concurrently, output is bounded, HTTP credentials in URLs are rejected, and
|
||||
each executable is revalidated before use. Standard TLS certificate validation
|
||||
applies to HTTPS endpoints; use network policy to constrain destinations where
|
||||
required.
|
||||
|
||||
On POSIX systems, the YAML file must be a regular, non-symlink file owned by
|
||||
the agent service user with no group/other permissions (normally mode `0600`).
|
||||
Commands and their immediate parent directories must also be regular,
|
||||
non-symlink, owned by the service user, and not group/other writable. Commands
|
||||
must have an executable bit. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo chown root:root /etc/pulse/custom-sensors.yaml /usr/local/libexec/pulse-queue-depth
|
||||
sudo chmod 0600 /etc/pulse/custom-sensors.yaml
|
||||
sudo chmod 0700 /usr/local/libexec/pulse-queue-depth
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

||||
Use `--health-addr :9191` only when another host must scrape the
|
||||
health/metrics endpoint over the network. Use `--health-addr ""` or
|
||||
`PULSE_HEALTH_ADDR=off` to disable that listener.
|
||||
|
||||
**Token resolution order**: `--token` → `--token-file` → `PULSE_TOKEN` → `/var/lib/pulse-agent/token`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Observer destinations
|
||||
|
||||
Observer destinations receive the same already-collected host, Docker/Podman,
|
||||
and Kubernetes reports. Collection runs once per interval. Delivery, retries,
|
||||
and persisted host-report buffers are isolated per destination, so an observer
|
||||
outage does not replay or block the primary stream. Observer responses cannot
|
||||
change configuration, execute commands, enroll the agent, or select updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a separate API token on each observer and store every token in its own
|
||||
absolute-path file. On Unix, both the JSON file and token files must be regular,
|
||||
non-symlink files with no group or other permissions (for example mode `0600`).
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"version": 1,
|
||||
"observers": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "dev",
|
||||
"url": "https://pulse-dev.example.test",
|
||||
"tokenFile": "/etc/pulse-agent/dev-observer.token",
|
||||
"serverFingerprint": "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef",
|
||||
"provisionProxmox": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Start or install the service with
|
||||
`--observers-file /etc/pulse-agent/observers.json`. Plaintext remote HTTP is
|
||||
rejected unless that observer explicitly sets `"allowPlaintextHTTP": true`.
|
||||
`insecureSkipVerify` is available per observer but should be replaced with a
|
||||
CA file or certificate fingerprint wherever possible.
|
||||
|
||||
When Proxmox integration is enabled, each observer gets a distinct
|
||||
destination-scoped PVE/PBS API token and registration-state directory. Pulse
|
||||
must answer the registration check before the agent creates or rotates any
|
||||
Proxmox token; an unavailable destination therefore leaves existing
|
||||
credentials unchanged. Set `"provisionProxmox": false` when an observer should
|
||||
receive only Unified Agent telemetry and no separately registered PVE/PBS
|
||||
source.
|
||||
|
||||
Per-destination delivery status is exported on the health listener as
|
||||
`pulse_agent_destination_configured` and
|
||||
`pulse_agent_destination_delivery_up`, labelled by module, destination, and
|
||||
role.
|
||||
|
||||
### Advanced Flags
|
||||
|
||||
- `--version`: Print the agent version and exit.
|
||||
- `--self-test`: Perform a self-test and exit (used during auto-update).
|
||||
|
||||
## Auto-Detection
|
||||
|
||||
Auto-detection behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Host metrics**: Enabled by default.
|
||||
- **Docker/Podman**: Enabled automatically by the agent if Docker/Podman is detected and `PULSE_ENABLE_DOCKER` was not explicitly set. A local `--enable-docker=false` or `PULSE_ENABLE_DOCKER=false` is a hard opt-out and is not re-enabled by auto-detection or remote profile config.
|
||||
- **Kubernetes**: Enabled automatically by the installer when a kubeconfig is detected and `PULSE_ENABLE_KUBERNETES` was not explicitly set.
|
||||
- **Proxmox**: Enabled automatically by the installer when Proxmox is detected. Type auto-detects `pve` vs `pbs` if not specified.
|
||||
|
||||
To disable auto-detection, explicitly set the relevant flags or env vars, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--enable-docker=false` or `PULSE_ENABLE_DOCKER=false`
|
||||
- `--enable-kubernetes=false` or `PULSE_ENABLE_KUBERNETES=false`
|
||||
- `--enable-proxmox=false` or `PULSE_ENABLE_PROXMOX=false`
|
||||
|
||||
### Inside-Guest Runtime Boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
Docker/Podman inside a VM or LXC is monitored from inside that guest. Install the
|
||||
Unified Agent in the guest when you want full Docker host, container, service,
|
||||
and task inventory on the Docker page.
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse does not use a Proxmox node agent to look inside LXCs by default. The
|
||||
node agent does automatically collect filesystem capacity for running LXCs
|
||||
when the local `pct` tool is available. It uses bounded `pct list` and
|
||||
`pct df <vmid>` calls and reports only mount keys, volume labels, mount paths,
|
||||
and capacity/usage values; it does not run commands inside a guest or read
|
||||
guest files. Stopped LXCs retain the normal API-derived disk view.
|
||||
|
||||
The optional Proxmox-side LXC Docker hint is off unless the Pulse server is started
|
||||
with `PULSE_ENABLE_PROXMOX_GUEST_DOCKER_DETECTION=true`. That hint uses
|
||||
`pct exec` only to check whether `/var/run/docker.sock` exists in a running LXC;
|
||||
it does not enumerate containers, images, environment variables, files, or
|
||||
processes. The stronger Proxmox-side LXC Docker inventory path is separately
|
||||
disabled unless the server is started with
|
||||
`PULSE_ENABLE_PROXMOX_GUEST_DOCKER_INVENTORY=true`. Use either path only when
|
||||
operators are comfortable with Proxmox-side guest probing.
|
||||
|
||||

# Exclude using patterns (prefix match)
|
||||
pulse-agent --disk-exclude '/mnt/pbs*' # Matches /mnt/pbs-data, /mnt/pbs-backup, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
# Exclude using patterns (contains match)
|
||||
pulse-agent --disk-exclude '*pbs*' # Matches any path containing 'pbs'
|
||||
|
||||
# Via environment variable (comma-separated)
|
||||
PULSE_DISK_EXCLUDE=/dev/sda,*pbs*,/var/run/samba/fd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern types:**
|
||||
- Exact: `/dev/sda`, `sda`, or `/mnt/backup` - matches that device path, device name, or mount point
|
||||
- Prefix: `/dev/nvme*` or `/mnt/ext*` - matches device paths or mount points with that prefix
|
||||
- Contains: `*cache*` or `*pbs*` - matches device paths, device names, or mount points containing that text
|
||||
|
||||
Exclusions are applied before filesystem usage, disk I/O, and S.M.A.R.T. collection.
|
||||
On linked Proxmox hosts, matching physical-disk health and SSD wear alerts are
|
||||
also suppressed.
|
||||
|
||||
## S.M.A.R.T. Disk Health
|
||||
|
||||
The agent can report S.M.A.R.T. disk temperatures, health status, identity, and normalized health counters when running in Agent mode. This requires:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **smartmontools** installed on the host:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Debian/Ubuntu
|
||||
apt install smartmontools
|
||||
|
||||
# RHEL/CentOS
|
||||
yum install smartmontools
|
||||
|
||||
# Alpine
|
||||
apk add smartmontools
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. The agent must have permission to run `smartctl` (typically requires root)
|
||||
|
||||
**Notes:**
|
||||
- Disks in standby mode are reported as such (no temperature) to avoid waking them
|
||||
- S.M.A.R.T. data is collected alongside other host metrics and can enrich the Physical Disks view with temperature, stable disk identity, power-on hours, SSD life, pending sectors, media errors, and related counters
|
||||
- If `smartctl` is not available, S.M.A.R.T. monitoring is silently skipped
|
||||
- **Disk exclusions** (`--disk-exclude` / `PULSE_DISK_EXCLUDE`) also apply to S.M.A.R.T. monitoring.
|
||||
Use patterns like `sda`, `/dev/sdb`, `nvme*`, or `*cache*` to exclude specific block devices.
|
||||
|
||||
## Auto-Update
|
||||
|
||||
Eligible v6 agents automatically check the Pulse server for updates every hour.
|
||||
The check is asynchronous: updating the Pulse server changes the target version,
|
||||
but does not prove every agent is online, eligible, or already current. When a
|
||||
new version is available:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Agent downloads the new binary from the Pulse server
|
||||
2. Verifies the checksum
|
||||
3. Verifies the release signature when trusted update keys are embedded
|
||||
4. Runs the downloaded binary with `--self-test`
|
||||
5. Replaces itself atomically (with backup)
|
||||
6. Restarts with the same configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Use the manual update path for v5 agents, PVE host agents, agents with
|
||||
auto-update disabled, and agents blocked by authentication, missing connection
|
||||
state, download, trust, or self-test failures. Open an outdated-agent notice or
|
||||
`/settings/infrastructure?agentDoctor=1` to open **Agent Doctor** and
|
||||
copy the command for each reported host. Pulse does not remotely execute those
|
||||
commands.
|
||||
|
||||
If an already-installed v5 `pulse-agent` follows its legacy automatic updater
|
||||
path instead of the supported manual installer path, the first hop is performed
|
||||
by the v5 updater. That hop verifies TLS by default, the SHA-256 checksum,
|
||||
executable magic, size limits, and atomic replacement, but the newer v6
|
||||
signature and `--self-test` checks apply only after the agent has landed on v6.
|
||||
Use HTTPS or a trusted local network for that legacy migration. For
|
||||
high-assurance environments, install the v6 `pulse-agent` through the signed
|
||||
installer path instead of relying on a plain-HTTP first hop.
|
||||
|
||||
To disable auto-updates:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# During installation
|
||||
curl -fsSL http://<pulse-ip>:7655/install.sh | \
|
||||
bash -s -- --url http://<pulse-ip>:7655 --token <token> --disable-auto-update
|
||||
|
||||
# Or set environment variable
|
||||
PULSE_DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Remote Configuration (Agent Profiles, Pro/legacy Pro+/Cloud)
|
||||
|
||||
Pro, legacy Pro+, and Cloud can push centralized settings to agents via Agent Profiles.
|
||||
|
||||
Behavior:
|
||||
- The agent fetches remote config on startup from `/api/agents/agent/{agent_id}/config`.
|
||||
- Profile settings override local flags/env for supported keys.
|
||||
- Profile changes take effect on the next agent restart.
|
||||
- Command execution (`commandsEnabled`) is controlled per agent from the Infrastructure agent controls and can change live.
|
||||
- Remote config responses can be signed with `PULSE_AGENT_CONFIG_SIGNING_KEY` (base64 Ed25519 private key).
|
||||
- To require signed payloads, set `PULSE_AGENT_CONFIG_SIGNATURE_REQUIRED=true` on Pulse and agents.
|
||||
- If you use a custom signing key, set `PULSE_AGENT_CONFIG_PUBLIC_KEYS` on agents to trust the matching public key.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Centralized Agent Management](CENTRALIZED_MANAGEMENT.md) for supported keys and profile setup.
|
||||
|
||||
## Uninstall
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL http://<pulse-ip>:7655/install.sh | bash -s -- --uninstall
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This removes:
|
||||
- The agent binary
|
||||
- The systemd/launchd service
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Notes
|
||||
|
||||
Use the unified installer (`install.sh`) for all new and existing deployments.
|
||||
|
||||
## Health Checks & Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
The agent exposes HTTP endpoints for health checks and Prometheus metrics on port 9191 by default.
|
||||
|
||||
### Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
| Endpoint | Description |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `/healthz` | Liveness probe - returns 200 if agent is running |
|
||||
| `/readyz` | Readiness probe - returns 200 when agents are initialized |
|
||||
| `/metrics` | Prometheus metrics |
|
||||
|
||||
### Prometheus Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Type | Description |
|
||||
|--------|------|-------------|
|
||||
| `pulse_agent_info` | Gauge | Agent info with version, host_enabled, docker_enabled labels |
|
||||
| `pulse_agent_up` | Gauge | 1 when running, 0 when shutting down |
|
||||
|
||||
### Kubernetes Probes
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
livenessProbe:
|
||||
httpGet:
|
||||
path: /healthz
|
||||
port: 9191
|
||||
initialDelaySeconds: 5
|
||||
periodSeconds: 10
|
||||
|
||||
readinessProbe:
|
||||
httpGet:
|
||||
path: /readyz
|
||||
port: 9191
|
||||
initialDelaySeconds: 5
|
||||
periodSeconds: 5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Disable Health Server
|
||||
|
||||
Set `--health-addr=""` or `PULSE_HEALTH_ADDR=off` to disable the health/metrics server. Set `--health-addr :9191` when network Prometheus scraping is intentional.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Installer Fails With "Not enough free disk space"
|
||||
|
||||
The installer stages the agent binary (~34 MiB) in a temporary directory before
|
||||
moving it to the install directory, and checks free space in both before
|
||||
downloading. On appliances whose root filesystem is a small RAM disk (QNAP QTS,
|
||||
Unraid), `/tmp` and `/usr/local/bin` share that filesystem, so both the staged
|
||||
and installed copy must fit at once.
|
||||
|
||||
If the check fails because `/tmp` is on a constrained root, point `TMPDIR` at a
|
||||
directory on a data volume and re-run the installer:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
TMPDIR=/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/tmp bash install.sh --url http://pulse --token <token>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(`mktemp` honours `TMPDIR`, so this moves the staging copy off the RAM root.
|
||||
Create the directory first if it does not exist.)
|
||||
|
||||
On QNAP the agent's rotating log is written to the data volume
|
||||
(`<data-volume>/.pulse-agent/logs/pulse-agent.log`); on Unraid it is written to
|
||||
`/var/log/pulse-agent/pulse-agent.log` with size-capped rotation. If an older
|
||||
install filled `/var/log/pulse-agent.log` on the root filesystem, delete that
|
||||
file and re-run the installer to pick up the rotating configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Not Updating
|
||||
- Check logs: `journalctl -u pulse-agent -f`
|
||||
- Verify network connectivity to Pulse server
|
||||
- Ensure auto-update is not disabled
|
||||
- Confirm the agent can authenticate and that its saved connection state still
|
||||
identifies the Pulse URL and token.
|
||||
- Open **Agent Doctor** from an outdated-agent notice or
|
||||
`/settings/infrastructure?agentDoctor=1` and use the command for that reported
|
||||
host. Do not substitute the public GitHub server installer.
|
||||
- Administrators can query the read-only Agent Fleet Doctor endpoint,
|
||||
`GET /api/agents/diagnostics`, for liveness, version, profile, telemetry, and
|
||||
identity evidence. The endpoint reports repair handoffs but does not run them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Duplicate Agents
|
||||
If cloned VMs appear as the same agent:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo rm /etc/machine-id && sudo systemd-machine-id-setup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or set a unique agent ID:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
--agent-id my-unique-agent-id
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The displayed or reported IP is not the durable agent identity. Pulse normally
|
||||
uses the machine ID (or an explicit `--agent-id`), so cloned systems must have
|
||||
unique machine and agent IDs even when their hostnames, MAC addresses, and IPs
|
||||
differ.
|
||||
|
||||
### Permission Denied (Docker)
|
||||
Ensure the agent can access the Docker socket:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Status
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Linux
|
||||
systemctl status pulse-agent
|
||||
|
||||
# macOS
|
||||
launchctl list | grep pulse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker Swarm Not Detected
|
||||
|
||||
If your Docker Swarm cluster isn't being detected:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check runtime detection**: Pulse disables Swarm for Podman. Look for "Podman runtime detected" in logs:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
journalctl -u pulse-agent | grep -i podman
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Force Docker runtime**: If auto-detection is incorrect:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
--docker-runtime docker
|
||||
# Or set environment variable
|
||||
PULSE_DOCKER_RUNTIME=docker
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Check Docker info**: Verify Swarm is active on the host:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker info | grep -i swarm
|
||||
# Should show "Swarm: active"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Check socket permissions**: The agent needs access to the Docker socket:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls -la /var/run/docker.sock
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Enable debug logging**: For more detail:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
LOG_LEVEL=debug journalctl -u pulse-agent -f
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### PVE Backups Not Showing (Recovery)
|
||||
|
||||
If local PVE backups aren't appearing in Pulse after setting up via `--enable-proxmox`:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check permissions**: The API token needs `PVEDatastoreAdmin` on `/storage`:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pveum aclmod /storage -user pulse-monitor@pve -role PVEDatastoreAdmin
|
||||
pveum aclmod /storage -token 'pulse-monitor@pve!<token-name>' -role PVEDatastoreAdmin
|
||||
```
|
||||
Replace `pulse-monitor@pve!<token-name>` with the full token ID shown in Pulse.
|
||||
Privilege-separated PVE tokens need the storage ACL on the token as well as the service user.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Re-run setup**: Delete the node in Pulse Settings and re-run the agent with `--enable-proxmox`. Recent versions grant this permission automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Check state file**: If re-running doesn't trigger setup, remove the state file:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rm /var/lib/pulse-agent/proxmox-pve-registered
|
||||
```
|
||||
Then restart the agent.

# Unified Resource Model
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse v6 introduces a **unified resource model** that normalizes all monitored infrastructure — Proxmox VE, Proxmox Backup Server, Proxmox Mail Gateway, Docker, host agents, Kubernetes, and TrueNAS — into a single, consistent data structure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Unified Resources?
|
||||
|
||||
In earlier versions, each platform had its own data model, API endpoints, and frontend pages. This created:
|
||||
|
||||
- Duplicate UI code for each platform
|
||||
- Inconsistent filtering and search
|
||||
- No cross-platform comparison
|
||||
- Separate alert logic per platform
|
||||
|
||||
The unified model eliminates this by representing **every resource** as a single `Resource` struct with a common set of fields plus optional platform-specific extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Resource
|
||||
|
||||
Every monitored entity is a `Resource` with:
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `id` | Globally unique identifier |
|
||||
| `name` | Display name |
|
||||
| `type` | `host`, `vm`, `container`, `storage`, `pool`, `dataset`, `disk`, `service`, `cluster`, `pod`, `deployment` |
|
||||
| `status` | `online`, `warning`, `critical`, `offline`, `unknown` |
|
||||
| `sources` | Array of contributing data sources (e.g., `["pve", "agent"]`) |
|
||||
| `sourceStatus` | Per-source health status |
|
||||
| `metrics` | CPU, memory, disk, network (when available) |
|
||||
| Platform extensions | `.kubernetes`, `.truenas`, `.docker`, etc. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Sources
|
||||
|
||||
A single resource can be reported by **multiple sources**. For example, a Proxmox node might have data from both the PVE API and a host agent:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sources: ["pve", "agent"]
|
||||
sourceStatus:
|
||||
pve: { status: "online", lastSeen: "..." }
|
||||
agent: { status: "online", lastSeen: "..." }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The aggregate `status` is computed from all contributing sources.
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Sources
|
||||
|
||||
| Source | What it feeds |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `pve` | Proxmox VE API — nodes, VMs, containers, storage |
|
||||
| `pbs` | Proxmox Backup Server — datastores, backups, sync jobs |
|
||||
| `pmg` | Proxmox Mail Gateway — mail stats, cluster health |
|
||||
| `agent` | Unified agent — host metrics, temperatures, S.M.A.R.T. |
|
||||
| `docker` | Docker/Podman — containers, images, networks |
|
||||
| `kubernetes` | Kubernetes — clusters, nodes, pods, deployments |
|
||||
| `truenas` | TrueNAS — system info, ZFS pools, datasets, snapshots, replication |
|
||||
|
||||
## Unified Navigation
|
||||
|
||||
The v6 UI organises pages by **task** instead of **platform**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Page | What it shows |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Dashboard** | Overview panels aggregating all sources |
|
||||
| **Infrastructure** | All hosts: Proxmox nodes, Docker hosts, K8s nodes, TrueNAS systems, agent-only hosts |
|
||||
| **Workloads** | All workloads: VMs, LXC containers, Docker containers, Kubernetes pods |
|
||||
| **Storage** | All storage: Proxmox storage, PBS datastores, ZFS pools/datasets, Ceph |
|
||||
| **Recovery** | All backup/snapshot artifacts: PBS backups, PVE local dumps, ZFS snapshots, replication |
|
||||
| **Alerts** | Unified alert view across all platforms |
|
||||
|
||||
Every page supports **source filtering** — click a source badge to see only resources from that platform.
|
||||
|
||||
### Legacy Route Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
Legacy URLs redirect automatically with toast notifications:
|
||||
|
||||
| Legacy Route | Redirects To |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `/proxmox/overview` | `/infrastructure` |
|
||||
| `/hosts` | `/infrastructure?source=agent` |
|
||||
| `/docker` | `/workloads?source=docker` |
|
||||
| `/kubernetes` | `/infrastructure?source=kubernetes` |
|
||||
| `/services`, `/mail` | `/infrastructure?source=pmg` |
|
||||
|
||||
See [Migration Guide](MIGRATION_UNIFIED_NAV.md) for the full mapping.
|
||||
|
||||
## API
|
||||
|
||||
### Primary Endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /api/resources
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns all unified resources. Supports query parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
| Parameter | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `type` | Filter by resource type (`host`, `vm`, `container`, etc.) |
|
||||
| `source` | Filter by data source (`pve`, `docker`, `kubernetes`, etc.) |
|
||||
| `status` | Filter by status (`online`, `warning`, `critical`, `offline`) |
|
||||
| `search` | Full-text search across name, ID, tags |
|
||||
|
||||
### Resource Details
|
||||
|
||||
Individual resource details are available via the unified state WebSocket connection, which pushes real-time updates to the frontend.
|
||||
|
||||
## Frontend Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
The frontend uses SolidJS reactive selectors to derive views from the unified store:
|
||||
|
||||
- `useResources()` — access the full unified resource list
|
||||
- `useInfrastructureResources()` — hosts filtered for the Infrastructure page
|
||||
- `useWorkloadResources()` — VMs/containers/pods for the Workloads page
|
||||
- `useStorageResources()` — storage pools/datasets for the Storage page
|
||||
- `useRecoveryResources()` — backup/snapshot data for the Recovery page
|
||||
|
||||
These selectors read from a single SolidJS store that is updated in real-time via WebSocket.

# Upgrade to Pulse v5
|
||||
|
||||
This is a practical guide for upgrading an existing Pulse install to v5.
|
||||
|
||||
## Before You Upgrade
|
||||
|
||||
- Create an encrypted config backup: **Settings → System → Recovery → Create Backup** (older versions labeled this **Backups**)
|
||||
- Confirm you can access the host/container console (for rollback and bootstrap token retrieval)
|
||||
- Review the v5 release notes on GitHub before upgrading
|
||||
|
||||
## Upgrade Paths
|
||||
|
||||
### systemd and Proxmox LXC installs
|
||||
|
||||
Preferred path:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Settings → System → Updates**
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer CLI, use the installed update helper for the target version:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo /bin/update --version vX.Y.Z
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`/bin/update` is installed by the supported systemd and Proxmox LXC server installer. If your host does not have it yet, follow the signed server-installer flow in [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md). Agent updates still use the `/install.sh` command generated in **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker pull rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z
|
||||
docker compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Kubernetes (Helm)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
helm repo update
|
||||
helm upgrade pulse pulse/pulse -n pulse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-Upgrade Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- Confirm version: `GET /api/version`
|
||||
- Confirm scheduler health: `GET /api/monitoring/scheduler/health`
|
||||
- Confirm nodes are polling and no breakers are stuck open
|
||||
- Confirm notifications still send (send a test)
|
||||
- Confirm agents are connected (if used)
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes and Common Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
### Bootstrap token on fresh auth setup
|
||||
|
||||
If you reset auth (for example by deleting `.env`), Pulse may require a bootstrap token before you can complete setup.
|
||||
|
||||
- Docker: `docker exec pulse /app/pulse bootstrap-token`
|
||||
- systemd/LXC: `sudo pulse bootstrap-token`
|
||||
|
||||
### Sensor proxy removal
|
||||
|
||||
The `pulse-sensor-proxy` from v4 is no longer needed — temperature monitoring is now handled by the unified agent. If you had the sensor proxy installed on your Proxmox hosts, remove it **on each host** after upgrading:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcourtman/Pulse/main/scripts/uninstall-sensor-proxy.sh | \
|
||||
sudo bash -s -- --uninstall --purge
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you deleted the old node from Pulse and want the cleanup to also remove the old `pulse-monitor@pam` API user and tokens before reinstalling, add `--remove-proxmox-access`.
|
||||
|
||||
See the [Legacy Cleanup](TEMPERATURE_MONITORING.md#legacy-cleanup-if-upgrading) section in the temperature monitoring docs for the full cleanup details.
|
||||
|
||||
Skipping this step will leave a selfheal timer running on the host that generates recurring `TASK ERROR` entries in the Proxmox task log.
|
||||
|
||||
### Temperature monitoring in containers
|
||||
|
||||
If Pulse runs in a container and you are relying on SSH-based temperature collection, move to the agent or run Pulse on the host. SSH-based collection from containers is intended for dev/test only (use `PULSE_DEV_ALLOW_CONTAINER_SSH=true` if you must).
|
||||
|
||||
Preferred option:
|
||||
|
||||
- Install the unified agent (`pulse-agent`) on Proxmox hosts with `--enable-proxmox`
|
||||
|
||||
Alternative option:
|
||||
|
||||
- Run Pulse outside a container and use SSH-based temperature collection (restricted `sensors -j` keys)
|
||||
|
||||
### Backups not showing (PVE)
|
||||
|
||||
If local PVE backups aren't appearing in Pulse, your API token may be missing the `PVEDatastoreAdmin` permission required for backup visibility.
|
||||
|
||||
This can happen if:
|
||||
- You upgraded from v4 (older setup scripts didn't include this permission)
|
||||
- You set up nodes via the unified agent before v5.1.x (the agent wasn't granting this permission)
|
||||
- You created the API token manually without the storage permission
|
||||
|
||||
**Quick fix** (run on each Proxmox host):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pveum aclmod /storage -user pulse-monitor@pve -role PVEDatastoreAdmin
|
||||
pveum aclmod /storage -token 'pulse-monitor@pve!<token-name>' -role PVEDatastoreAdmin
|
||||
```
|
||||
Replace `pulse-monitor@pve!<token-name>` with the full token ID shown in Pulse,
|
||||
for example `pulse-monitor@pve!pulse-example`. Privilege-separated PVE tokens
|
||||
need the storage ACL on the token as well as the service user.
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative** (re-run setup):
|
||||
1. Delete the node from Pulse Settings
|
||||
2. Re-run the setup (either the UI-generated script or agent with `--enable-proxmox`)
|
||||
3. The new token will have correct permissions
|
||||
|
||||
Note: The "re-run setup" option only works on v5.1.x or later, which includes the fix for agent-based setups.

|
||||
|
||||
The published GitHub release is the authority for what users can install as
|
||||
stable. Keep v5.1.35 as the explicit rollback target for the v6.0.0 cutover.
|
||||
|
||||
## Before You Upgrade
|
||||
|
||||
- Create an encrypted config backup: **Settings → System → Recovery → Create Backup** (older versions labeled this **Backups**)
|
||||
- Open **Settings → System → Updates** and review the upgrade checks on the update plan. Pulse checks the server update path, current agent continuity, and agent reporting token scope before you install. These checks describe the currently reported fleet; they do not prove every installed agent is online or already updated.
|
||||
- Confirm you can access the host/container console (for rollback and bootstrap token retrieval)
|
||||
- If you have any external integrations or scripts: review the **API Changes** section below
|
||||
|
||||
## Upgrade Paths
|
||||
|
||||
### systemd and Proxmox LXC installs
|
||||
|
||||
Preferred path:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Settings → System → Updates**
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer CLI, use the installed update helper for the target version:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo /bin/update --version vX.Y.Z
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`/bin/update` is installed by the supported systemd and Proxmox LXC server installer. If your host does not have it yet, follow the signed server-installer flow in [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md). Agent updates and v5-to-v6 agent upgrades still use the `/install.sh` command generated in **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host**; that screen is for both first installs and in-place agent upgrades.
|
||||
|
||||
Operator note for builds after `v6.0.0-rc.2`: the historical Pulse update
|
||||
signer was not recovered. Hosts pinned to the `rc.2` trust root should not
|
||||
assume unattended continuity into newer prerelease or GA artifacts; plan a
|
||||
manual reinstall or other explicit trust migration before testing those builds.
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker pull rcourtman/pulse:vX.Y.Z
|
||||
docker compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Kubernetes (Helm)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
helm repo update
|
||||
helm upgrade pulse pulse/pulse -n pulse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-Upgrade Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- Confirm version: `GET /api/version`
|
||||
- Confirm scheduler health: `GET /api/monitoring/scheduler/health`
|
||||
- Confirm unified resources API is responding: `GET /api/resources`
|
||||
- Confirm nodes are polling and no breakers are stuck open
|
||||
- Confirm notifications still send (send a test)
|
||||
- Confirm agents are connected (if used)
|
||||
|
||||
## v5 to v6 Operator FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
### Do I need to uninstall Pulse v5 first?
|
||||
|
||||
No. Upgrade the existing Pulse server installation in place.
|
||||
|
||||
### Do I need to uninstall my existing Pulse Unified Agents first?
|
||||
|
||||
No. Use the unified installer to upgrade existing agent deployments in place. Generate the current command from **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host**, then run it on the host that already has the v5 agent service. You do not need to remove the old service first.
|
||||
|
||||
### Does upgrading the Pulse server prove that all agents have upgraded?
|
||||
|
||||
No. The server and Unified Agent have separate update lifecycles. After the
|
||||
server changes the target version, eligible v6 agents normally discover and
|
||||
apply that update asynchronously: once about five seconds after process start,
|
||||
then hourly while the process remains running. Linux, Windows, and
|
||||
Docker-enabled installations all use this same Unified Agent updater. It moves
|
||||
only to a higher semantic version, so RC-to-later-RC, RC-to-stable, and
|
||||
stable-to-later-stable updates are eligible; a server advertising an older
|
||||
target never causes an automatic downgrade. Version checks are cache-unique,
|
||||
and the binary request is bound to the exact target version. Offline checks,
|
||||
download failures, and pre-replacement failures leave the current process and
|
||||
binary in place and are retried on a later check. The server being current is
|
||||
not proof that every installed agent has checked in or converged.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the manual path for v5 agents, PVE host agents, agents with auto-update
|
||||
disabled, and agents blocked by authentication, missing connection state,
|
||||
download, trust, or self-test failures. For v5-to-v6 upgrades, generate the
|
||||
current command from **Settings → Infrastructure → Install on a host** and run it
|
||||
on the host with the existing agent service. A v5 agent can be missing from v6
|
||||
Reporting until it has upgraded, authenticated, and sent its first v6 report.
|
||||
|
||||
For agents already visible to v6, open an outdated-agent notice or **Agent
|
||||
Doctor** at `/settings/infrastructure?agentDoctor=1`. It shows per-host commands
|
||||
for the operator to copy and run; it does not remotely execute fleet updates. Agent
|
||||
self-update and manual update both still depend on valid authentication, a
|
||||
reachable trusted update channel, and accepted release signing keys.
|
||||
|
||||
Early v6 prerelease agents could report successfully to a private plain-HTTP
|
||||
Pulse URL while their separate updater rejected that same URL before making a
|
||||
version request. Such an agent cannot download the release that fixes its own
|
||||
transport policy. Re-run the current per-host installer command once to
|
||||
preserve the URL/token/trust settings in the current lifecycle format; normal
|
||||
automatic checks resume after that migration. The same manual recovery rule
|
||||
applies to an agent whose installed signing trust cannot accept the current
|
||||
release.
|
||||
|
||||
### Will an upgraded v5 agent keep the same identity in v6?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. The v5-to-v6 agent path is expected to preserve one canonical agent
|
||||
identity rather than creating a duplicate record during the upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
### Do I need new agent tokens just because the server moved to v6?
|
||||
|
||||
No. Existing installed agents are expected to continue through the v6
|
||||
compatibility boundary for legacy persisted agent scopes.
|
||||
|
||||
If you create a replacement token during the upgrade, install or reconfigure the
|
||||
agent with the replacement before revoking the old token. Revoking the token
|
||||
currently used by an agent stops that agent from authenticating until it is
|
||||
reinstalled or reconfigured with a valid token.
|
||||
|
||||
### Where do I check installed agent versions in v6?
|
||||
|
||||
After an agent reports to v6, check the relevant platform page or **Machines**
|
||||
view for the agent-backed host and version/status details. Version and outdated
|
||||
agent notices appear only after the agent has successfully reported; they are
|
||||
not an offline inventory of every v5 service that existed before the server
|
||||
upgrade. On the host itself, confirm the local binary with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pulse-agent --version
|
||||
systemctl status pulse-agent
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Can one installed Pulse Unified Agent report to two Pulse instances at the same time?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. Configure one instance as the primary with `--url` and its token, then add
|
||||
the other as a report-only observer with `--observers-file`. Only the primary
|
||||
can supply remote configuration, commands, enrollment, or updates; observer
|
||||
delivery and retries are isolated. Each instance needs its own Pulse API token,
|
||||
and Proxmox observers use separate PVE/PBS tokens. See
|
||||
[Observer destinations](UNIFIED_AGENT.md#observer-destinations) for the file
|
||||
format and security requirements. Use a v6-capable agent for this topology;
|
||||
older v5 agents do not understand observer configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I keep Pulse v5 stable while I test Pulse v6?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. Keep a rollback path available while you evaluate v6. The final release
|
||||
on the v5 line is 5.1.36, so the stable rollback command is:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./scripts/install.sh --version v5.1.36
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Why did my v5 install upgrade itself to v6?
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse 5.1.29 and later pin the built-in updater to the 5.1.x line and never
|
||||
offer v6, so upgrading from those versions is always a manual step. Pulse
|
||||
5.1.28 and older have no such pin: installs with auto-update enabled follow
|
||||
the newest stable GitHub release, which is now v6. If that happened to you,
|
||||
your data and configuration carry over; run through the Post-Upgrade
|
||||
Checklist above to confirm everything still works. To return to v5, run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./scripts/install.sh --version v5.1.36
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Notes (v6)
|
||||
|
||||
### Unified Navigation (Bookmarks and Deep Links)
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse v6.0.0-rc.6 and later prereleases ship with the platform-shaped top-level
|
||||
navigation existing v5 operators already know: Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes,
|
||||
TrueNAS, vSphere, Machines, Alerts, Patrol, and Settings.
|
||||
|
||||
The backend unified resource model and `/api/resources` contract remain
|
||||
canonical, but the retired rc.1 through rc.5 `/infrastructure`, `/workloads`,
|
||||
`/storage`, and `/recovery` layout is not the shipped v6 user interface.
|
||||
|
||||
- Reference: `docs/MIGRATION_UNIFIED_NAV.md`
|
||||
- If you used rc.1 through rc.5, update bookmarks or runbooks from the retired
|
||||
unified routes to the platform-shaped equivalents listed in that guide.
|
||||
- If you are upgrading directly from v5, start from the familiar platform pages
|
||||
rather than looking for the temporary unified pages from early v6 RCs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse v6 honors the legacy `PORT` environment variable as a deprecated fallback
|
||||
only when `FRONTEND_PORT` is unset, so existing installs keep their listener
|
||||
port after upgrade. Move deployments to `FRONTEND_PORT`; when both variables
|
||||
are set, `FRONTEND_PORT` wins.
|
||||
|
||||
### API Changes
|
||||
|
||||
Unified Resources is now the canonical model and endpoint family:
|
||||
|
||||
- Canonical: `/api/resources`
|
||||
|
||||
Availability checks now attach to an existing canonical resource when an
|
||||
explicit `linkedResourceId` resolves or one normalized IP/hostname match is
|
||||
unambiguous. Every configured check remains individually visible in the
|
||||
Availability checks inventory; an attached check also appears as an additive
|
||||
facet on the owning platform row/detail. API consumers should treat the
|
||||
source-owned `network-endpoint` as the check identity and accept the additive
|
||||
`availabilityChecks`, correlation, evidence, and outgoing `checks`
|
||||
relationship fields; the existing singular `availability` field remains as a
|
||||
compatibility summary. Ambiguous or invalid links stay visible as
|
||||
standalone/unresolved and are never guessed.
|
||||
|
||||
### License and Entitlements
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse v6 feature gating is driven by the entitlements endpoint:
|
||||
|
||||
- `GET /api/license/entitlements`
|
||||
|
||||
For self-hosted v6, Pulse no longer sells monitored-system volume. Core
|
||||
monitoring stays available across Community, Relay, and Pro, while Relay and
|
||||
Pro sell convenience, history, AI operations, and advanced administration.
|
||||
Relay raises history to 14 days, while Pro raises it to 90 days.
|
||||
|
||||
Self-hosted v6 does not expose a general in-app trial, trial-return callback,
|
||||
or hosted AI quickstart path. Ordinary upgraded self-hosted installs should use
|
||||
activation, recovery, or BYOK/local AI setup instead; any exceptional
|
||||
support-issued entitlement is reflected through hosted entitlement state rather
|
||||
than a local in-app trial acquisition flow.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Breaking Change: Paid Licensing Requires Connectivity
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse v5 validated paid license keys entirely locally. Once activated, a v5
|
||||
Pro or Lifetime install never needed to reach a licensing service again, so
|
||||
fully offline and air-gapped installs kept paid features indefinitely.
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse v6 does not work that way. This is a breaking change for paid installs:
|
||||
|
||||
- **What changed.** v6 activates a paid license against
|
||||
`license.pulserelay.pro` and then refreshes a short-lived entitlement grant
|
||||
in the background (several times a day by default). The grant is valid for
|
||||
72 hours, and after it expires Pulse allows a further 7 day grace window.
|
||||
- **Offline tolerance.** A paid v6 instance that cannot reach
|
||||
`license.pulserelay.pro` keeps its paid features for roughly 10 days from
|
||||
the last successful refresh (72 hour grant lifetime plus 7 day grace).
|
||||
After that, paid features drop to Community behavior until connectivity
|
||||
returns. Core monitoring keeps running throughout; this affects paid
|
||||
surfaces such as extended history and AI operations, not data collection.
|
||||
- **Recovery is automatic.** When connectivity returns, the background
|
||||
refresh (or a restart) reactivates the license without re-entering the key.
|
||||
- **Who is affected.** Every paid self-hosted install, including Lifetime.
|
||||
Air-gapped or egress-restricted environments are affected the most: v6
|
||||
cannot keep paid features active without periodic outbound HTTPS to
|
||||
`license.pulserelay.pro`.
|
||||
- **What to do.** Allow outbound HTTPS (port 443) from the Pulse server to
|
||||
`license.pulserelay.pro`. If your environment is air-gapped or cannot
|
||||
allow that egress, contact `support@pulserelay.pro` before upgrading to
|
||||
discuss options for your install.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Paid Pulse Pro Runtime
|
||||
|
||||
Paid Pulse Pro, Relay, and eligible legacy customers should not use public
|
||||
GitHub release assets or the public `rcourtman/pulse` Docker image for paid
|
||||
runtime features. Those public downloads are community builds. They can accept
|
||||
an activation key, but they do not include the private Pulse Pro runtime hooks.
|
||||
|
||||
Use <https://pulserelay.pro/download.html> with your activation key instead.
|
||||
Docker users should run the private registry login and
|
||||
`PULSE_IMAGE=license.pulserelay.pro/pulse-pro:<version>` compose commands shown
|
||||
there. Those commands require your compose file image line to use the
|
||||
`PULSE_IMAGE` variable. If your compose file hardcodes
|
||||
`image: rcourtman/pulse:...`, replace that line with the variable form from
|
||||
`docker-compose.yml` or directly with the private image shown on the download
|
||||
page. Direct Linux users should download the private Pulse Pro archive from the
|
||||
same page.
|
||||
|
||||
#### v5 License Migration
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse v6 uses the activation/grant model for active licensing, but it can migrate valid Pulse v5 paid JWT-style licenses, including legacy Pro and Lifetime licenses.
|
||||
|
||||
- If you upgrade an existing v5 instance and Pulse finds a persisted v5 license with no v6 activation state yet, v6 will try to auto-exchange it on startup.
|
||||
- If auto-exchange cannot complete, your old key is left in place and the instance will prompt you to retry activation manually.
|
||||
- In the v6 license panel, you can paste either:
|
||||
- a Pulse v6 activation key, or
|
||||
- a valid Pulse v5 paid license key, which Pulse will try to exchange automatically into the v6 activation model
|
||||
- If the exchange service cannot complete the migration, retry from the v6 license panel or use the self-serve retrieval flow to fetch the current v6 activation key. Email is only a backup copy of that key.
|
||||
- A migrated v5 key can be active on a limited number of v6 installations at
|
||||
a time (currently 3). v5 never counted installations, so if you run the
|
||||
same key on more instances than that, the extra instances will report that
|
||||
the key has reached its installation limit and will stay on Community.
|
||||
Retrying does not help; contact `support@pulserelay.pro` to release an
|
||||
installation you no longer use or to raise the limit.
|
||||
- The exchanged v6 entitlement depends on the original cohort. Lifetime,
|
||||
active pre-cutover recurring Pro, and other migrated legacy paid installs do
|
||||
not all land on the same commercial continuity posture.
|
||||
- Legacy recurring Pulse Pro subscriptions already active before the public v6 pricing cutover keep their grandfathered recurring price until cancellation. Self-hosted monitoring and child-resource volume are not metered under the current v6 policy. If they cancel and later return, current v6 pricing applies for paid features.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Paid Upgrade Truth Table
|
||||
|
||||
When an existing paid user asks what changes for them specifically, use this rule set:
|
||||
|
||||
- Legacy recurring Pulse Pro subscriptions from v5 or earlier that were already active before the public v6 pricing cutover keep their current recurring price while the subscription remains continuously active. Self-hosted monitoring and child-resource volume are not metered under the current v6 policy.
|
||||
- Existing lifetime customers remain permanently valid, with self-hosted monitoring and child-resource volume not metered under the current v6 policy.
|
||||
- Legacy paid v5 licenses migrated into v6 outside the recurring grandfathered path can still exchange into the v6 activation model without repurchasing. Migration records can preserve the original cohort for support and audit, but self-hosted monitoring volume is no longer the paid gate.
|
||||
- Former recurring customers who already canceled, or who cancel and later return, do not resume the old grandfathered pricing automatically; they re-enter on current public v6 pricing for paid features while self-hosted monitoring remains included without a monitored-system volume gate.
|
||||
- New self-hosted v6 purchases use the current Community / Relay / Pro plan model with core monitoring included.
|
||||
|
||||
If a self-hosted v6 install sees a new monitored-system, guest, or child-resource volume cap after moving to v6, treat that as a regression, not as expected upgrade behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
Practical recommendation:
|
||||
|
||||
- Before upgrading, keep console access available so you can retry activation from the v6 license panel if the exchange service is temporarily unavailable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Operational Trust migration
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse v6 consolidates alerts, Patrol attention, evidence, protection posture,
|
||||
attached availability checks, notifications, and governed action verification
|
||||
onto one Operational Trust lifecycle. See
|
||||
[`OPERATIONAL_TRUST.md`](OPERATIONAL_TRUST.md) for the operator contract and
|
||||
post-upgrade checks.
|
||||
|
||||
The migrations are additive:
|
||||
|
||||
- existing alert state is normalized into operational records and transitions;
|
||||
- notification delivery keeps exact operational-record and transition links;
|
||||
- recovery points and provider observations materialize provider-aware
|
||||
protection posture;
|
||||
- unified-resource relationships and availability facets gain stable evidence
|
||||
linkage;
|
||||
- action audit records preserve execution and verification as separate truth.
|
||||
|
||||
Supported legacy JSON fields remain readable where older clients need them,
|
||||
but the primary v6 runtime has one writable owner for each domain. Pulse Mobile
|
||||
now reads the canonical Patrol attention queue. Operators should upgrade

# 💾 VM Disk Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
Monitor actual disk usage inside your VMs using the QEMU Guest Agent.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Install Guest Agent**:
|
||||
* **Linux**: `apt install qemu-guest-agent` (Debian/Ubuntu) or `yum install qemu-guest-agent` (RHEL).
|
||||
* **Windows**: Install **virtio-win** drivers.
|
||||
2. **Enable in Proxmox**:
|
||||
* VM Options → **QEMU Guest Agent** → Enabled.
|
||||
* Restart the VM.
|
||||
3. **Verify**:
|
||||
* Run `qm agent <vmid> ping` on the Proxmox host.
|
||||
* Check Pulse dashboard for disk usage (e.g., "5.2GB used of 32GB").
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚙️ Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* **QEMU Guest Agent**: Must be installed and running inside the VM.
|
||||
* **Proxmox Permissions**: `VM.Monitor` (Proxmox 8) or `VM.GuestAgent.Audit` + `VM.GuestAgent.FileRead` (Proxmox 9+). Note: `PVEAuditor` is a built-in read-only role that cannot be modified — create a custom role instead.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
| Issue | Solution |
|
||||
| :--- | :--- |
|
||||
| **Disk shows "-"** | Hover over the dash for details. Common causes: Agent not running, disabled in config, or permission denied. |
|
||||
| **Permission Denied** | Ensure your Proxmox token/user has `VM.GuestAgent.Audit` + `VM.GuestAgent.FileRead` (PVE 9+) or `VM.Monitor` (PVE 8). |
|
||||
| **Rocky Linux / RHEL: memory or disk data missing** | The default qemu-guest-agent config may block file-read RPCs. Check `/etc/sysconfig/qemu-ga` and ensure `guest-file-open`, `guest-file-read`, and `guest-file-close` are not blocked, then restart the agent. See your distro's qemu-guest-agent docs for exact syntax. |
|
||||
| **Agent Timeout** | Increase timeouts via env vars if network is slow: `GUEST_AGENT_FSINFO_TIMEOUT=10s`. |
|
||||
| **Windows VMs** | Ensure the **QEMU Guest Agent** service is running in Windows Services. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Diagnostic Script
|
||||
Run this on your Proxmox host to debug specific VMs:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcourtman/Pulse/main/scripts/test-vm-disk.sh | bash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📝 Notes
|
||||
|
||||
* **Network Mounts**: NFS/SMB mounts are automatically excluded.
|
||||
* **Databases**: Usage reflects filesystem usage, which may differ from database-internal metrics.
|
||||
* **Containers**: LXC containers are monitored natively without the guest agent.

|
||||
|
||||

| **Generic** | `https://example.com/webhook` |
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎨 Custom Templates
|
||||
|
||||
For generic webhooks, use Go templates to format the JSON payload.
|
||||
|
||||
**Variables (common):**
|
||||
- `{{.ID}}`, `{{.Level}}`, `{{.Type}}`
|
||||
- `{{.ResourceName}}`, `{{.ResourceID}}`, `{{.ResourceType}}`, `{{.Node}}`
|
||||
- `{{.Message}}`, `{{.Value}}`, `{{.Threshold}}`, `{{.Duration}}`, `{{.Timestamp}}`
|
||||
- `{{.Instance}}` (Pulse public URL if configured)
|
||||
- `{{.TenantID}}`, `{{.TenantName}}` (tenant identity in multi-tenant orgs and MSP client runtimes; empty on plain single-tenant installs)
|
||||
- `{{.CustomFields.<name>}}` (user-defined fields in the UI)
|
||||
- `{{.Metadata}}` (alert metadata map)
|
||||
- `{{.AlertCount}}`, `{{.Alerts}}` (grouped alerts)
|
||||
- `{{.Mention}}` (platform-specific mention, if configured)
|
||||
|
||||
**Convenience fields:**
|
||||
- `{{.ValueFormatted}}`, `{{.ThresholdFormatted}}`
|
||||
- `{{.StartTime}}`, `{{.Acknowledged}}`, `{{.AckTime}}`, `{{.AckUser}}`
|
||||
|
||||
**Template helpers:** `title`, `upper`, `lower`, `printf`, `urlquery`/`urlencode`, `urlpath`/`pathescape`, `jsonString`
|
||||
|
||||
`jsonString` is the safe way to embed string values inside a JSON payload — it escapes quotes, backslashes, and control characters without wrapping the value in surrounding quotes, so you can write `"text": "{{.Message | jsonString}}"` and stay valid JSON even when the message contains `"` or newlines. Pulse's shipped templates use it extensively; prefer it over manual escaping in custom templates.
|
||||
|
||||
**Service-specific notes:**
|
||||
- **Telegram**: include `chat_id` in the URL query string.
|
||||
- **Telegram templates**: `{{.ChatID}}` is populated from the URL query string.
|
||||
- **PagerDuty**: set `routing_key` as a custom field (or header) in the webhook config.
|
||||
- **Pushover**: add `token` and `user` custom fields (required). Legacy `app_token` and `user_token` inputs are migrated automatically.
|
||||
- **ntfy**: choose **ntfy** in the service picker before entering the topic URL. Leave the service as Generic only when you want to send a custom JSON payload.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Payload:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"text": "Alert: {{.Level}} - {{.Message}}",
|
||||
"value": {{.Value}}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📦 Delivery Contract
|
||||
|
||||
These fields and behaviors are stable; ticket-routing integrations can rely on them.
|
||||
|
||||
**Events.** Every webhook fires on both `alert` and `resolved` events. `{{.Event}}` is `"alert"` or `"resolved"` — there is no separate "info" event class.
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity.** `{{.Level}}` is `"warning"` or `"critical"`. Pulse has exactly these two alert levels.
|
||||
|
||||
**Alert type.** `{{.Type}}` is the metric or condition that fired: `cpu`, `memory`, `disk`, `diskRead`, `diskWrite`, `networkIn`, `networkOut`, `connectivity`, and similar. The alert ID (`{{.ID}}`) is stable for the lifetime of an alert occurrence, so the `resolved` event carries the same ID as the `alert` event it closes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tenant identity.** In multi-tenant organizations and MSP client runtimes, `{{.TenantID}}` and `{{.TenantName}}` identify which tenant fired the alert. Client runtimes get identity from the `PULSE_TENANT_ID` / `PULSE_TENANT_NAME` environment; shared-process organizations stamp the org ID and display name automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
**Resource tag routing.** Email and each alert webhook can be limited to resources with selected tags in **Alerts → Notifications**. An empty filter receives every alert. With multiple tags, choose **Match all tags** or **Match any tag**. Matching ignores case. Proxmox tags are matched as shown; Docker container and service labels are exposed as `key:value` tags (or `key` when the label value is empty). Recovery notifications follow the destinations that received the firing alert, even if a resource's tags change before recovery.
|
||||
|
||||
**Retries.** Failed deliveries retry with exponential backoff. The persistent notification queue makes up to 3 delivery attempts per notification; webhooks configured with transport-level retry add up to 3 more HTTP retries per attempt (1s doubling to a 30s cap, honoring `Retry-After` on HTTP 429). A receiver may therefore see the same logical event more than once.
|
||||
|
||||
**Idempotency.** Every alert delivery carries an `X-Pulse-Event-ID` header of the form `<alertID>:<event>` (e.g. `a1b2c3:alert`, `a1b2c3:resolved`). It is identical across all retries of the same logical event — deduplicate on it.
|
||||
|
||||
**Signed deliveries.** Set a `signingSecret` on the webhook config to enable HMAC signing. Signed requests carry:
|
||||
|
||||
- `X-Pulse-Timestamp`: Unix seconds at send time.
|
||||
- `X-Pulse-Signature`: `v1=` + hex HMAC-SHA256 over `timestamp + "." + body`, keyed with the shared secret.
|
||||
|
||||
To verify: recompute the HMAC over the received timestamp and raw body, compare with constant-time equality, and reject requests whose timestamp is outside your tolerance window (e.g. 5 minutes) to block replays.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import hashlib, hmac
|
||||
|
||||
def verify(secret: str, timestamp: str, body: bytes, signature: str) -> bool:
|
||||
expected = "v1=" + hmac.new(secret.encode(), f"{timestamp}.".encode() + body, hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
|
||||
return hmac.compare_digest(expected, signature)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The secret is write-only through the API: list responses mask it, and an update that echoes the masked placeholder keeps the stored secret.
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
POST /api/notifications/webhooks
|
||||
Content-Type: application/json
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "PSA Bridge",
|
||||
"url": "https://psa.example.com/inbound/pulse",
|
||||
"service": "generic",
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"signingSecret": "<random 32+ byte secret>"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🛡️ Security
|
||||
|
||||
- **Private IPs**: By default, webhooks to private IPs are blocked. Allow them in **Settings → System → Network → Webhook Security**.
|
||||
- **Headers**: Add custom headers (e.g., `Authorization: Bearer ...`) in the webhook config.
|
||||
- **Signing**: Prefer `signingSecret` (above) over bare bearer headers when the receiver supports verification — it authenticates the payload itself, not just the connection.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🧾 Audit Webhooks (Pro/legacy Pro+/Cloud)
|
||||
|
||||
Pro, legacy Pro+, and Cloud support dedicated audit webhooks for security event compliance. Unlike alert notifications, these webhooks deliver the raw, signed JSON payload of every security-relevant action (login, config change, group mapping).
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
1. Go to **Settings → Security → Audit Webhooks**.
|
||||
2. Add your endpoint URL (e.g., `https://siem.corp.local/ingest/pulse`).
|
||||
|
||||
### Security
|
||||
Audit webhooks are dispatched asynchronously. The payload includes a `signature` field which can be verified using the per-instance HMAC key stored (encrypted) at `.audit-signing.key` in the Pulse data directory. There is no `PULSE_AUDIT_SIGNING_KEY` override.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🏢 Provider-hosted MSP webhooks
|
||||
|
||||
See [MSP.md](MSP.md) for the full provider operations guide (topology, ingress isolation, reports).
|
||||
|
||||
Provider-hosted MSP runs one isolated Pulse runtime per client workspace. That means alert routes and webhook destinations are configured inside the client runtime, not in one shared cross-client alert table. A webhook for Client A only sees Client A alerts because Client A has its own Pulse runtime, data, tokens, and notification config.
|
||||
|
||||
Built-in webhook templates include Gotify, PagerDuty, Slack, and Generic. Use the Generic webhook for systems that accept custom inbound payloads, including ConnectWise and similar PSA or ITSM tools. This is webhook routing, not a bespoke PSA integration.
|
||||
|
||||
Typical MSP setup:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the client workspace from Pulse Account.
|
||||
2. Add that client's notification destinations in **Alerts → Notifications**.
|
||||
3. Use Gotify, PagerDuty, Slack, or Generic depending on where the client or provider team wants alerts to land.
|
||||
4. Keep each destination scoped to the client runtime so alert payloads and resolved events never cross into another client's workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🏢 Multi-tenant organization integrations
|
||||
|
||||
In shared-process multi-tenant mode (self-hosted with `PULSE_MULTI_TENANT_ENABLED=true` and an Enterprise license with the `multi_tenant` capability) alerts and notification destinations are isolated **per organization**. Every alert and webhook request resolves an organization and operates only on that org's own alert state and webhook config.
|
||||
|
||||
Use this for one owner separating internal sites, departments, teams, or environments. It is not the canonical Pulse MSP model for separate customer businesses; MSP uses isolated client workspaces with their own runtime boundaries.
|
||||
|
||||
The organization for a request is resolved in this order:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `X-Pulse-Org-ID: <orgID>` header (the way API clients or internal middleware should target a specific organization).
|
||||
2. `pulse_org_id` session cookie (browser sessions).
|
||||
3. An org-bound API token (a token scoped to a single org needs no header).
|
||||
4. Fallback: the `default` org.
|
||||
|
||||
Suspended or pending-deletion organizations return `403`, and an unknown org ID returns `400`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Wiring organization alerts into external systems
|
||||
|
||||
There are two integration models. The push model is usually the right fit when tickets or incidents should open and close automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
**Push (recommended): one outbound webhook per organization.** Create a **Generic** webhook for each organization and point it at your external system's inbound endpoint (an ITSM/PSA inbound webhook, an email connector, or middleware that opens service tickets). Shape the JSON with a [custom template](#-custom-templates) so it matches the receiving system's expected schema: every template variable listed above is available. Pulse fires on both `alert` and `resolved` events (`{{.Event}}` is `"alert"` or `"resolved"`), so the receiving system can open a ticket on alert and auto-resolve it on recovery. Add authentication as a custom header (e.g. `Authorization: Bearer ...`).
|
||||
|
||||
Configure it from the UI (**Alerts → Notifications → Add Webhook**) per org, or programmatically with an org-bound admin token:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
POST /api/notifications/webhooks
|
||||
X-Pulse-Org-ID: acme-corp
|
||||
Authorization: Bearer <token with settings:write>
|
||||
Content-Type: application/json
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "ConnectWise (Acme)",
|
||||
"url": "https://psa.example.com/inbound/pulse",
|
||||
"method": "POST",
|
||||
"service": "generic",
|
||||
"enabled": true,
|
||||
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <psa-token>" },
|
||||
"template": "{\"summary\":\"{{.Level}}: {{.ResourceName}} {{.Message | jsonString}}\",\"event\":\"{{.Event}}\",\"alertId\":\"{{.ID}}\"}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The exact ticket fields differ by platform (ConnectWise, Autotask, Halo, and others each expect their own inbound shape), so map the template to your platform's contract. The `alertId` round-trips through `{{.ID}}`, which lets the receiving system correlate the later `resolved` event to the ticket it opened.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sample PSA payloads
|
||||
|
||||
A fuller template suited to ticket routing, including tenant identity and the
|
||||
stable severity/type fields from the [delivery contract](#-delivery-contract):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"event": "{{.Event}}",
|
||||
"alertId": "{{.ID | jsonString}}",
|
||||
"severity": "{{.Level | jsonString}}",
|
||||
"alertType": "{{.Type | jsonString}}",
|
||||
"tenantId": "{{.TenantID | jsonString}}",
|
||||
"tenantName": "{{.TenantName | jsonString}}",
|
||||
"resource": "{{.ResourceName | jsonString}}",
|
||||
"node": "{{.Node | jsonString}}",
|
||||
"summary": "{{.Message | jsonString}}",
|
||||
"value": {{.Value}},
|
||||
"threshold": {{.Threshold}},
|
||||
"startedAt": "{{.StartTime | jsonString}}",
|
||||
"duration": "{{.Duration | jsonString}}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
What the receiver sees for a **critical** alert:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"event": "alert",
|
||||
"alertId": "f3a9c2d1",
|
||||
"severity": "critical",
|
||||
"alertType": "cpu",
|
||||
"tenantId": "client-acme",
|
||||
"tenantName": "Acme Corp",
|
||||
"resource": "web-01",
|
||||
"node": "pve1",
|
||||
"summary": "CPU usage 95.2% exceeds threshold 90%",
|
||||
"value": 95.2,
|
||||
"threshold": 90,
|
||||
"startedAt": "2026-06-10T14:03:00Z",
|
||||
"duration": "5m"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A **warning** alert is identical except `"severity": "warning"` — warning and critical are the only two severities Pulse emits, so a two-priority PSA mapping covers the full range.
|
||||
|
||||
The **resolved** event reuses the same `alertId`, letting the bridge close the ticket it opened:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"event": "resolved",
|
||||
"alertId": "f3a9c2d1",
|
||||
"severity": "critical",
|
||||
"alertType": "cpu",
|
||||
"tenantId": "client-acme",
|
||||
"tenantName": "Acme Corp",
|
||||
"resource": "web-01",
|
||||
"node": "pve1",
|
||||
"summary": "web-01 on pve1 is now healthy",
|
||||
"value": 95.2,
|
||||
"threshold": 90,
|
||||
"startedAt": "2026-06-10T14:03:00Z",
|
||||
"duration": "22m"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For ConnectWise specifically, point the webhook at a ConnectWise inbound API callback (or middleware that calls the ConnectWise REST API) and map `severity` to ticket priority, `tenantName` to the company, and `alertId` to your correlation field. Combine with a [`signingSecret`](#-delivery-contract) and the `X-Pulse-Event-ID` dedup header for a production-grade bridge.
|
||||
|
||||
**Pull (poll): org-scoped read API.** Issue a `monitoring:read` token bound to each organization and poll that org's alerts. Send `X-Pulse-Org-ID` (or rely on the org-bound token) so you get only that organization's data:
|
||||
|
||||
- `GET /api/alerts/active` — currently firing alerts for the org.
|
||||
- `GET /api/alerts/history` — historical alerts for the org.
|
||||
|
||||
To acknowledge or clear from the PSA side, use a `monitoring:write` token: `POST /api/alerts/acknowledge` and `POST /api/alerts/clear`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scope and targeting summary
|
||||

||||

# 💾 ZFS Pool Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
Pulse automatically detects and monitors ZFS pools on your Proxmox nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
> **TrueNAS users:** TrueNAS ZFS pool monitoring is handled separately via the TrueNAS integration. See [CONFIGURATION.md](CONFIGURATION.md#truenas) for setup. This page covers Proxmox-native ZFS pools.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Features
|
||||
|
||||
* **Auto-Detection**: No configuration needed.
|
||||
* **Health Status**: Tracks `ONLINE`, `DEGRADED`, and `FAULTED` states.
|
||||
* **Error Tracking**: Monitors read, write, and checksum errors.
|
||||
* **Dataset Inventory**: With a Unified Agent on the node, expanded pool details list ZFS filesystems and zvols with used, available, referenced, and mountpoint information.
|
||||
* **Alerts**: Notifies you of degraded pools or failing devices.
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚙️ Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
The Pulse user needs `Sys.Audit` permission on `/nodes/{node}/disks` (included in the standard Pulse role).
|
||||
|
||||
Pool health and device status come from the Proxmox API. Dataset inventory additionally requires a Unified Agent on the Proxmox node with read access to the local `zfs` command. If the command is unavailable, Pulse falls back to the mounted ZFS datasets visible to the agent.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Grant permission manually if needed
|
||||
pveum acl modify /nodes -user pulse-monitor@pve -role PVEAuditor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
ZFS monitoring is **enabled by default**. To disable it:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Add to /etc/pulse/.env (systemd/LXC) or /data/.env (Docker/Kubernetes)
|
||||
PULSE_DISABLE_ZFS_MONITORING=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚨 Alerts
|
||||
|
||||
| Severity | Condition |
|
||||
| :--- | :--- |
|
||||
| **Warning** | Pool `DEGRADED` or any read/write/checksum errors. |
|
||||
| **Critical** | Pool `FAULTED` or `UNAVAIL`. |
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔍 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**No ZFS Data?**
