rcourtman 409c5482ee Read controller-member disk history at its written key
A physical disk behind a RAID controller (target such as megaraid,3)
with no usable serial or WWN had its SMART history written under one
key and read under another, so its temperature and SMART charts stayed
empty. The host agent writes under HostSMARTDiskMetricID and Proxmox
under PhysicalDiskMetricID, and both keys already scope the member
(host-pve:sdd@ctrl0/megaraid,3). BuildMetricsTarget passed that source
ID to PhysicalDiskMetaMetricID, which appended the topology again
(host-pve:sdd@ctrl0/megaraid,3:sdd@ctrl0/megaraid,3).

The reader now does what the Proxmox writer does: a fallback that
already names the member is returned unchanged, and only a fallback
without the topology gets it appended. That covers a Proxmox source ID
from before members were scoped and the canonical resource ID a view
falls back to. TrueNAS disks carry no controller target and are
unaffected.

SMART history needs no migration: no SMART writer used the doubled
key, so samples already stored become readable. A linked node's agent
with no SMART reading for a member, such as a standby row, files the
device's I/O under the Proxmox disk's metrics target, which was the
doubled key. That I/O now lands beside the member's SMART history, and
samples already stored under the doubled key are left to age out.

This carries forward the fix from PR 2661, whose branch conflicts with
the disk ID stack it now sits on, and proves it against the real SMART
and I/O writers in the live and rehydrated registries.

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.
