The alert card chose its platform page by resource type, then by searching the message for "vmware". Provider incidents sit on canonical `vm`, `storage`, `network` and `agent` types, so that only worked while a summary happened to name the platform. #2559 added an `incidentProvider === 'vmware'` check for vSphere alone. On main, other platforms still fall through: - **TrueNAS pool incidents** link to the Proxmox overview, and Alerts › Overview › More › Monitoring says "Proxmox remains the inventory owner". - **Agent alerts** link to `/machines`. No such route exists, so the link opens "Page not found: No route matched /machines". - **TrueNAS metric alerts** (`truenas-pool`, `truenas-dataset`, …) fall through to Proxmox the same way. **What changes** - The card reads the platform from an explicit `platformType`, then the incident's `incidentProvider`, then the resource's `resourceSources`, through the shared `resolvePlatformTypeFromSources`. A PBS incident that Pulse raises itself (provider `pulse`) resolves by its `pbs` source. - That platform maps to its page through `PRIMARY_PLATFORM_NAV_SCOPE_IDS` and the `routing/resourceLinks.ts` path builders, and the same canonical id goes to the Monitoring policy menu, so the link and the named owner agree. Raw route strings in the card are gone. - The resource-type and message fallbacks remain only for alerts whose metadata names no platform, now with `truenas-` types, and with agent alerts sent to `/standalone/machines`. - vSphere links no longer depend on the alarm wording at all. #2559 already made them right on main by the provider check; this replaces that special case with the general resolver. **Verification** - `AlertOverviewAlertCard.system-scope.test.tsx`: a vSphere VM alarm whose message lacks "VMware", a TrueNAS pool incident, a PBS incident with provider `pulse`, and agent and TrueNAS metric alerts without incident metadata. Each asserts the link and the platform passed to the Monitoring menu. All five fail against main's card; against the card from before #2559, the vSphere VM alarm linked to `/proxmox/overview`. - Private mock stack at main `af4e6a493c`, 1440 and 390: a vCenter alarm on the mock VM client-portal-01 (message "Virtual machine memory usage") and an agent-host CPU alert, appended to the live websocket `activeAlerts` with Playwright `routeWebSocket`, plus the mock's own TrueNAS pool incident. Each link was followed to the vSphere overview, TrueNAS overview and Machines, and each menu named VMware vSphere, TrueNAS and Pulse agent. With main's card swapped back in under Vite, the TrueNAS card went to Proxmox with Proxmox as owner and the agent card hit Page not found. - Receipt: `frontend-modern/browser-verification/977a32825e65be8f.json`.

- 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.
