rcourtman 3fd5411ecc Judge disk heat by the alert disk temperature thresholds
Pulse decided whether a physical disk was too hot in three places with
three thresholds. Disk risk added temperature_high at a flat 60/70C for
every disk type and drove the disk status and the Physical Disks Health
verdict. Patrol flagged anything over 55C and the AI chat context listed
disks from 50C. Alerts and the Temp column used the per-type thresholds
users tune in Alerts (NVMe 70, SAS 65, SATA 55 by default). An NVMe at
63C read Running Hot beside a green Temp cell. A SATA disk at 56C read
Healthy beside a red one. A user who raised the NVMe trigger to 75 still
got a hot verdict at 70.

The alert disk temperature policy now decides disk heat.
alerts.Manager.DiskTemperatureThreshold exposes the per-type resolution
CheckHost already applies.

- Disk risk no longer judges temperature. Every registry that rebuilds
  risk lacks the alert configuration, so no rule there could honour it.
  A hot disk keeps an online status.
- The Health verdict reads Running Hot when a current reading reaches
  the disk type's trigger. It uses the thresholds object that colours
  the Temp cell, so the two cannot disagree. The amber band below the
  trigger stays a cell colour, not a verdict.
- The TrueNAS storage table lost the heat it used to get from risk. It
  now judges heat the same way: an Attention row with the reason, and a
  warning dot for phones.
- Patrol triage, its disk issue filter, finding recovery and the chat
  context's attention list judge the collected reading against the same
  trigger, including scoped runs and a provider set before Patrol
  starts.
- A switched-off agent Disk Temp default resolves to no thresholds,
  which the displays that read them now treat as off.

Per-host Disk Temp overrides do not reach these surfaces yet. TrueNAS
disk alerts, the TrueNAS disk drawer and PDF reports keep their own
fixed temperatures for now.

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.
