The 2026-09-01 Patrol assessment could not answer four questions from telemetry: what share of Patrol installs run local versus cloud models, what Patrol costs an install per month (issue 1789 estimates ~104k input tokens per full run at ~5.5 runs a day, above the Pro fee on non-Flash tiers), how the 240 of 255 fleet investigations that produced no plan actually ended, and which effective Patrol mode an install runs. Schema v17 adds closed buckets only. ai_provider_class classifies the Patrol model route (none, local, cloud_byok, cloud_subscription, hosted_quickstart, unknown) with a syntactic private-host check on custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints; it never resolves DNS or carries a provider, model, endpoint, or account. pulse_intelligence_patrol_autonomy_level is the effective level after licence and Autopilot gating. The two token fields bucket the existing local usage ledger's Patrol events, so exact counts and prices stay on the install. Thirteen investigation outcome counters partition the findings already counted as investigated, one bucket per finding, adding no finding, resource, or session identity. The strings are never omitted, so an empty value can only mean a pre-v17 sender; the receiver stores those as unknown. PRIVACY.md, its shipped mirror, the Settings preview interface, and the security-privacy and api-contracts subsystem notes carry the disclosure, and the coverage gap is registered in status.json. The agent-lifecycle and storage-recovery contracts name internal/api under their extension points, so both record that this telemetry is adjacent adoption analytics and never agent or storage state. The stable E2E tier pins the public schema version, so the disclosure spec moves to 17, and the Settings preview interface change carries a browser receipt from a scratch build of this tree at 1280x800 and 390x844. status.json also drops an identical duplicate of the ai-provider-guided-setup coverage-gap record that two merges each appended, which the private governance audit rejects. The bucket for a legacy config still pointing at the retired Pulse-hosted route is named hosted_legacy: the shipped privacy document discloses the vocabulary verbatim and the frontend copy contract keeps that document free of the retired hosted quickstart wording, so the telemetry package now pins the vocabulary at the source.
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.
- 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
- Proxmox Backup Server
- Proxmox Mail Gateway
- Docker and Podman
- Kubernetes and Helm
- TrueNAS SCALE and CORE
- Unified Agent
- Agent security
- VM disk monitoring
- ZFS monitoring
- Temperature monitoring
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
- Metrics history
- Recovery data
- Webhooks
- Automatic updates
- Centralized agent management (Pro)
- Operational trust model
- Current product screenshots
Pulse Intelligence
- Assistant, Patrol, and external-agent overview
- Patrol modes and safety
- Assistant safety model
- External agent HTTP and MCP substrate
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
- Production deployment and security
- Security review scope
- Authentication and credential storage review packet
- Security guide
- Privacy and telemetry disclosure
- OIDC and SSO
- Proxy authentication
- Role-based access control (Pro)
- Audit logging (Pro)
- Reverse proxy configuration
- Code-signing policy
Plans and managed access
- Community, Relay, and Pro capabilities
- Relay and Pulse Mobile handoff
- Multi-tenant organizations (Enterprise/custom)
- Provider-hosted MSP operations (request-assisted)
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.
Previous versions and migrations
- Upgrade from v4 to v5
- Retired unified-navigation migration — historical context only; current Pulse uses platform-shaped navigation.
- Move a Pulse installation
