rcourtman 474dbc4f09 Record Proxmox and agent alert history on the canonical resource
Alert lifecycle changes carry the alert's source-native resource ID, and
MonitorAdapter.RecordChange only mapped full Docker container IDs. Proxmox
node, guest and storage alerts and host-agent alerts were journaled under
IDs such as "instance-node", "instance:node:vmid" or "agent:<host>", while
resource facets, resource intelligence and Assistant resource context read
history by canonical ID, so those surfaces never saw the alerts.

Resolve such references to the canonical resource and record a history
binding, so the reference keeps reaching the same history after a guest
migration or inventory removal. Only durable identities bind: the canonical
ID, a retired era, a source ID, a node-scoped guest reference or an agent
host ID. Names and hostnames never bind, so a VM named "pulse-system"
cannot capture system alerts, and a reference two resources answer to binds
to neither. Docker keeps its full-ID rule.

Rows already journaled under a source reference join canonical history
without being rewritten: each registry generation binds the unbound alert
references it can resolve, those found at startup and those written before
inventory named the resource, retrying each for 30 minutes.

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.
