Major expansion of the knowledge extraction system with extractors for
every tool action, plus critical bug fixes discovered during live testing:
Extractors added:
- query: topology, health, search, list, config (with secondary cached key)
- storage: pools, disk_health, raid, backups, backup_tasks, ceph, ceph_details,
snapshots, replication, pbs_jobs, resource_disks
- metrics: performance, baselines, physical disks, temperatures
- alerts: list, findings (with resource_id in key to prevent collisions)
- docker: services, updates, swarm, tasks
- kubernetes: clusters, nodes, pods, deployments
- pmg: status, mail_stats, queues, spam
- patrol: get_findings
- exec/read: file reads and command execution
Bug fixes from live testing:
- Config predict key mismatch: model omits node from input, added secondary
config:{resource_id}:cached key for reliable gate matching
- Baselines predict key mismatch: predict returned baseline:{id} but extractor
stores baselines:queried; simplified predict to always return marker key
- Query:get composite ID: resource.ID contained node prefix (delly:minipc:100),
now prefers VMID (int) over composite string
- Alerts findings wrong JSON field: struct expected "findings" but API returns
"active" with separate "counts" object
- Finding key collision: two findings with same key but different resource_id
overwrote each other; added resource_id to fact key
- Backup tasks vmid type: API returns int but struct had string, causing
json.Unmarshal failure; also fixed status case-sensitivity (OK vs ok)
Tests: 91+ tests including 38 roundtrip cases, 5 gate flow tests, negative
marker test. All pass.
Pulse
Real-time monitoring for Proxmox, Docker, and Kubernetes infrastructure.
🚀 Overview
Pulse is a modern, unified dashboard for monitoring your infrastructure across Proxmox, Docker, and Kubernetes. It consolidates metrics, alerts, and AI-powered insights from all your systems into a single, beautiful interface.
Designed for homelabs, sysadmins, and MSPs who need a "single pane of glass" without the complexity of enterprise monitoring stacks.
✨ Features
Core Monitoring
- Unified Monitoring: View health and metrics for PVE, PBS, PMG, Docker, and Kubernetes in one place
- Smart Alerts: Get notified via Discord, Slack, Telegram, Email, and more
- Auto-Discovery: Automatically finds Proxmox nodes on your network
- Metrics History: Persistent storage with configurable retention
- Backup Explorer: Visualize backup jobs and storage usage
AI-Powered
- Chat Assistant: Ask questions about your infrastructure in natural language
- Patrol: Background health checks that generate findings on a schedule
- Alert Analysis: Optional AI analysis when alerts fire
- Cost Tracking: Track usage and costs per provider/model
Multi-Platform
- Proxmox VE/PBS/PMG: Full monitoring and management
- Kubernetes: Complete K8s cluster monitoring via agents
- Docker/Podman: Container and Swarm service monitoring
- OCI Containers: Proxmox 9.1+ native container support
Security & Operations
- Secure by Design: Credentials encrypted at rest, strict API scoping
- One-Click Updates: Easy upgrades for supported deployments
- OIDC/SSO: Single sign-on authentication
- Privacy Focused: No telemetry, all data stays on your server
⚡ Quick Start
Option 1: Proxmox LXC (Recommended)
Run this one-liner on your Proxmox host to create a lightweight LXC container:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash
Note: this installs the Pulse server. Agent installs use the command generated in Settings → Agents → Installation commands (served from /install.sh on your Pulse server).
Option 2: Docker
docker run -d \
--name pulse \
-p 7655:7655 \
-v pulse_data:/data \
--restart unless-stopped \
rcourtman/pulse:latest
Access the dashboard at http://<your-ip>:7655.

- VMs stuck in restart loops
- Clock drift across cluster nodes
- Container health check failures
Technical highlights:
- Cross-system context (nodes, VMs, backups, containers, and metrics history)
- LLM analysis for high-impact findings + alert-triggered deep dives
- Optional auto-fix with command safety policies and audit trail
- Centralized agent profiles for consistent fleet settings
