Once every source with a verdict had gone quiet, the stale pass counted any current availability sighting as online. A node that preserveOrExpireNodes expired stayed online while its HTTP check failed, and a quiet failing check lifted that node's offline verdict to warning. One sighting stands for every check on a target and carries whichever check was projected last, so a failing check that had just run also vouched for another check's old pass. Status aggregation now judges each check on a monitored resource by its own evidence window. A passing check whose evidence is still valid proves the resource answers, and reads online when no current source has a verdict. Every other check abstains, current or quiet: a failing check proves only that one port or service does not answer, so it never makes a guest count as stopped in the workloads summary or the Proxmox page. A check's own row keeps the ordinary rules, and a manual link judges the merged resource by the checks it carries. Projecting or retargeting a check now re-applies the stale pass's rule to targets whose status that pass owns, since the resources API replays checks after its stale pass and never runs another. Only a target's own quiet sources give the pass that ownership, never its checks' sighting. The poller now keeps each check's evidence tied to the observation that passed. It ages out a local location that stopped running beside other locations, as it already did for silent remote paths: the check took its freshness from the newest location, so a failing remote report kept an hour-old local pass counted as reachable with current evidence. An available check's evidence lasts only as long as its newest reachable path, and a remote result adopted as local after an entitlement lapse keeps the server's receipt time rather than the agent's clock.
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
