A config save re-judges every active alert. Agent filesystem alerts were re-judged by the host disk threshold, ignoring the filesystem's own override and the per-type DiskFillByType threshold CheckHost uses. Guest filesystem alerts were resolved by their "<guestID>-disk-<key>" resource ID, which matches no guest-disk override and names no guest, so the guest's own override was missed too. A filesystem override of 70 raised an alert at 80 under a default of 90; saving any alert setting resolved it and sent a recovery, and the next poll raised it again as a new alert. CheckHost and CheckGuest now resolve a filesystem's threshold through hostDiskUsageThresholdNoLock and guestDiskUsageThresholdNoLock, and reevaluation calls the same helpers: resolveHostAlertThresholdsNoLock for agent filesystem alerts, and a new resolveGuestAlertThresholdsNoLock that resolves a guest filesystem alert's guest by the ID parseGuestAlertIdentity reads from its resource ID. The helpers return override and per-type thresholds as owned copies, so evaluation still never normalizes the live config. TestConfigSaveJudgesFilesystemAlertsByTheirOwnThreshold covers an agent filesystem override, an NVMe fill threshold, a guest filesystem override and a guest override. With host.go, guest.go and config_runtime.go overlaid by their origin/main or #2696 copies, all four fail: the unchanged save resolves the alert. Stacked on #2696.
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
- 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
