The "No workload inventory available" empty state told every session to
"Review source credentials, permissions, and collection status in Settings
→ Infrastructure" and rendered a button to /settings/infrastructure. Since
755a88878 gated that nav item on the infrastructureRead capability, a
non-admin viewer cannot open the page — and once inventory source health is
served at monitoring:read, a viewer with a broken source lands on this exact
state and is pointed at a door that is locked for them.
Gate the call to action on the destination's own capability. Reusing
infrastructureRead rather than a second predicate is what keeps the link and
the nav gate from drifting apart. Without it the copy now names the action a
viewer can actually take: contact an administrator.
The signal did not exist outside Settings — infrastructureRead only reached
useSettingsAccess's local fetch, which runs when Settings mounts and so is no
help to a page deciding whether to link there. Publish it from the
/api/security/status resolve that useAppRuntimeState already performs on
mount, alongside the sessionCapabilities sync that hangs off the same call.
No new request is added. Unresolved sessions keep the link, matching how
settingsNavVisibility treats an unresolved capability set, so an admin never
flickers through the restricted copy.
The banner itself, the admin path, and the monitoring:read inventory-sources
call are all unchanged. The surface's inline fallback now defers to the
shared presentation helper instead of duplicating the copy, so the gate
cannot be bypassed by whichever path renders.
Verified on a scratch instance against real proxy-auth sessions: the viewer
(detailLevel authenticated, infrastructureRead false) gets the reworded copy
and no link at 1280x800 and 375x812, while the admin (privileged) is
byte-identical to before. Because the empty state is only reachable by a
viewer once inventory health is served at monitoring:read, the live exercise
ran with that branch's route present.
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.
- Upgrade from Pulse v5 — migration prerequisites, rollback, agent continuity, and post-upgrade checks.
- 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
- 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
