rcourtman 40ebce161a Clear agent disk temperature alerts when the disk leaves (#2595)
Stacked on #2589 (the threshold-off fix). Until it merges this PR also
shows its two commits; the change here is the last commit, 7c8e9099a1.

A host-agent SMART disk temperature alert (`diskTemperature`, resource
`agent:<host>/disk_temp:<device>`) stayed active for about a day after
its disk left the agent's report (removed, replaced, or a renamed device
path). `CheckHost` only evaluates disks it still lists, and
`shouldPreserveAlertOutsideNodeCleanup` exempts `agent:` alerts from
node cleanup, so only the 24-hour stale-alert sweep resolved it.

What changes:
- `CheckHost` records every disk a non-empty SMART list reports. A disk
holding an alert or a pending threshold run that is missing from three
consecutive non-empty reports has its alert cleared and its pending run
dropped (`cleanupHostDiskTemperatureAlerts`). The count restarts when
the disk is reported again, because the Windows, FreeBSD and
controller-multiplexed Linux collectors drop a disk whose probe fails.
- An empty SMART list holds every alert. The agent omits the list when
SMART collection fails or is unsupported (`collectSMARTData`).
- A listed disk in standby, or with no temperature (a failed Linux probe
lists the disk identity-only), holds its alert. Neither reading shows
the disk cooled, and SMART health alerts already hold through standby.
- Turning the threshold off, or removing the agent, now also drops the
host's pending disk temperature runs and absence counts.

`TestCheckHostClearsDiskTemperatureAlertWhenDiskLeavesSMARTReport`
covers removal, rename, the three holds, the restarted count, and the
pending-run and count cleanup. Each case was checked against a mutation
that disables its mechanism.

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.
