rcourtman 344f1f8531 Raise disk health alerts for mock physical disks
checkMockAlerts evaluated guests, agents, nodes, storage, PBS, PMG and
Docker against the mock estate but never physical disks. The fixture
keeps a FAILED cohort and worn SSDs stable on purpose, so mock and demo
stacks showed failing and "Replace Now" disks with no disk-health or
disk-wearout alert, and the disk alert lifecycle could not be exercised
without real hardware.

The pass applies the physical disk poller's boundary: only disks on
online nodes, matched by instance and node name, with the linked
agent's --disk-exclude patterns forcing a matched device healthy. The
per-disk evaluation moves into checkPhysicalDiskAlerts so the poller
and the mock pass share one rule. The poller's agent-link settle
deferral is not applied, because fixture links and exclusions are
complete from the first pass.

Like the other loops in checkMockAlerts, the disk loop runs after the
pass's single mode check, so the existing race with leaving mock mode
now covers disk alerts too. That race also involves other fixture
evaluation paths and is left for a monitor-wide fix.

On the public demo's estate (8 nodes) this adds one warning-level
disk-wearout alert and no disk-health alert: that estate has no FAILED
Proxmox disk.

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.

Localized getting started guides: Deutsch · Español

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.
