`CleanupAlertsForNodes` runs on every Proxmox node poll
(`monitor_pve_storage.go`) and on every mock alert tick. It removes
alerts whose `Node` is not a current Proxmox node or PBS instance, and
keeps the types `shouldPreserveAlertOutsideNodeCleanup` lists.
Kubernetes, TrueNAS and vSphere metric alerts carry a cluster or
platform host as `Node`, and a display label (`TrueNAS Disk`,
`Kubernetes Pod`, `vSphere VM`) in `metadata.resourceType`. The preserve
list only had the bare words `truenas`, `kubernetes`, `k8s` and
`vmware`, so none of these labels matched. In an estate with Proxmox
plus one of those platforms:
- every Proxmox poll deleted these alerts without resolving them;
- their reducer incident stayed firing, so the next unified evaluation
re-created each one and handed it to the alert callback again as a new
alert.
## Change
`shouldPreserveAlertOutsideNodeCleanup` keeps an alert that carries
`metadata.platformType` (set on every unified Kubernetes/TrueNAS/vSphere
metric alert), or whose label maps through `CanonicalAlertResourceType`
to one of those platform types. The label path covers alerts persisted
before `platformType` existed. A guest alert whose Proxmox node left the
estate is still removed.
## Evidence
- Unit probe on main: a TrueNAS disk temperature alert, a Kubernetes pod
CPU alert and a vSphere VM CPU alert were all deleted by
`CleanupAlertsForNodes({"pve1": true})`. Over three
cleanup-then-evaluate cycles the TrueNAS alert went to the alert
callback 3 times; with this change, 0 times and it stays active.
- Private mock stack: TrueNAS disk temperature alerts kept vanishing
between mock alert ticks, while the disks kept their readings in
`/api/resources`. With this change they stay open.
## Tests
`TestCleanupAlertsForNodesKeepsPlatformMetricAlerts` (in
`internal/alerts/alerts_test.go`) raises a TrueNAS disk, a TrueNAS pool,
a Kubernetes pod and a vSphere VM alert, then runs the cleanup three
ways: as raised, with only `platformType` (label unrecognised), and with
only the label (`platformType` removed).
`TestCleanupAlertsForNodesStillRemovesMissingProxmoxNodeAlerts` keeps
the removal of a guest alert on a removed Proxmox node. Each preserve
condition was mutation-checked: removing either one fails the first
test.
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
- 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.
