VM inventory was available only as an on-demand download. It can now be scheduled weekly or monthly as CSV, emailed or saved on the Pulse server. Each attempt exports all current VMs in the organization, including newly discovered VMs, through the existing exporter. Historical performance-report limits and windows remain separate. The schedule uses existing delivery configuration checks, persisted success/failure/uncertain states, bounded retries and deliberate recovery controls. Pricing, feature gates, retention entitlements and existing customer grants are unchanged. Live checks also reproduced two unattended inventory defects: reporting retained a stopped monitor after configuration reload, and canonical snapshot reads relied on dashboard reads to publish polled VM inventory. Reporting now receives reload replacements through an atomic manager reference. Canonical snapshot reads reuse the existing publication boundary, including its freshness fast path, provider/mode fences and nonblocking warm reads. Validation: - 105 focused frontend tests; full type check, lint, production build and bundle budgets. - Race checks for reporting, inventory, reload, publication and organization isolation; clean private runtime build. - Current runtime browser checks on `/settings/support/reporting` and `/alerts/notifications` at 1440×1000, 820×844 and 390×844, with actual pixel review. The first inventory read exports 61 normally polled VMs; real MIME CSV matches the download; a newly discovered 62nd VM enters the next export. - Local SMTP acceptance, 451 retry across a real restart, permanent rejection, uncertain acknowledgement and deliberate recovery; disk delivery, edit/reload, disable, details and delete. - Staged status, registry, contract, completion and exact-content browser guards pass. Regression proof is registered against the specific runtime paths it covers.
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.
Need help with a failure? Read the safe reporting guidance before sharing evidence. A second reproduction or diagnostics export is not required; keep the original evidence if another attempt could interrupt workloads or send duplicate notifications. GitHub reports and attachments are public: review them locally and keep credentials and private details out.
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
- Proxmox Backup Server
- Proxmox Mail Gateway
- Docker and Podman
- Kubernetes and Helm
- TrueNAS SCALE and CORE
- Unified Agent
- Agent security
- VM disk monitoring
- ZFS monitoring
- Temperature monitoring
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
- Metrics history
- Recovery data
- Webhooks
- Automatic updates
- Centralized agent management (Pro)
- Operational trust model
- Current product screenshots
Pulse Intelligence
- Assistant, Patrol, and external-agent overview
- Patrol modes and safety
- Assistant safety model
- External agent HTTP and MCP substrate
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
- Production deployment and security
- Security review scope
- Authentication and credential storage review packet
- Security guide
- Privacy and telemetry disclosure
- OIDC and SSO
- Proxy authentication
- Role-based access control (Pro)
- Audit logging (Pro)
- Reverse proxy configuration
- Code-signing policy
Plans and managed access
- Community, Relay, and Pro capabilities
- Relay and Pulse Mobile handoff
- Multi-tenant organizations (Enterprise/custom)
- Provider-hosted MSP operations (request-assisted)
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.
Previous versions and migrations
- Upgrade from v4 to v5
- Retired unified-navigation migration — historical context only; current Pulse uses platform-shaped navigation.
- Move a Pulse installation
