rcourtman 1f2ff618b6 Own PVE disk alert history rows by recorded hardware
PVE disk health and wearout alerts reference the disk by instance, node
and device path, so a physical disk's history never showed its own SMART
and wearout alerts. Binding the path reference failed review: a binding
belongs to the reference string, so any disk that takes over the path
inherits every row and every read of it.

Own each lifecycle row instead. The alert now records the disk's WWN
next to its serial, and the history writer puts the row under the disk
the registry knows by that hardware identity, wherever it sits now. The
registry only translates identity into a canonical ID, so a generation
that still places another disk at the path cannot claim the row, and no
check precedes a later write. A disk not yet in inventory, or removed,
gets the ID the registry mints for its identity. Rows without usable or
unambiguous identity stay under the reference, as do rows journaled
before this change; journal rows are never rewritten.

Reads by the reference still return every row raised under it, through
the alert identifier index, and the incident projection keeps owned rows
under their alert reference, so the Alerts history Resource action and
incident timelines show the same occurrences as before. A read by the
disk returns its own occurrences with their saved shells and notes.

Pulse documentation

Start here for installation, platform setup, security, operations, and Pulse Intelligence. Commands, configuration keys, image names, API fields, and product identifiers remain untranslated in localized guides.

Start here

  • Install Pulse — signed Proxmox/Linux installation, Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and first-run setup.
  • Production deployment and security — least-privilege Proxmox setup, root-agent boundaries, discovery, supply-chain verification, plan limits, scale evidence, and a rollout checklist.
  • Upgrade from Pulse v5 — migration prerequisites, rollback, agent continuity, and post-upgrade checks.
  • Releases and update channels: choosing Stable or Preview, beta and RC expectations, and how releases are tested and promoted.
  • Configure Pulse — authentication, notifications, discovery, retention, and system settings.
  • Deployment models — data locations, lifecycle, and differences between supported deployment paths.
  • Troubleshooting and FAQ — common failures, diagnostics, and operator questions.

Platforms and agents

VMware vSphere support is early access. Current builds expose dedicated vSphere inventory and recovery context, but operators should validate the integration against their own vCenter before production use.

Monitoring and operations

Pulse Intelligence

Patrol watch-only analysis is available on Community with a local model or the operator's own provider. Investigation and governed fixes require the relevant Pulse Pro capabilities.

Security, privacy, and access

Plans and managed access

Pulse Cloud is not generally available. Ordinary self-hosted Pulse remains the primary installation path; MSP and Enterprise access are explicit commercial paths rather than defaults in self-hosted setup.

Development and reference

Detailed design notes and dated migration specifications may remain in this directory for maintainers, but they are not operator setup guides unless they are linked from the sections above.
