rcourtman 71a470129f Stop alert evaluation writing live thresholds outside the lock
Host and guest evaluation filled in the Clear of a per-disk override's
threshold after dropping m.mu, writing through the live config's pointer.
GetConfig clones that pointer under the read lock, which does not exclude
the writer, and the saved override silently took whatever the last poll
filled in. Docker evaluation pointed into m.config.DockerDefaults, and read
the restart-loop and memory-limit settings, with no lock held while
UpdateConfig replaced m.config.

Clone the override's Disk threshold under m.mu before normalizing it,
resolve Docker container thresholds from cloned defaults plus the override
under the lock, and read the restart-loop and memory-limit settings under
it. Drop getThresholdForMetricFromConfig: nothing has called it since the
v6 split, and it normalized in place.

TestAlertEvaluationLeavesTheLiveConfigToTheLock runs host, guest and Docker
evaluation against GetConfig() and UpdateConfig(GetConfig()) under -race.
With host.go, guest.go, docker.go and metric_runtime.go overlaid by their
origin/main copies it fails: the live override's clear reads 85, and -race
reports every site above.

Stacked on #2692, which made GetConfig return an owned copy.

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.

Localized getting started guides: Deutsch · Español

Platforms and agents

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

Pulse Intelligence

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

Plans and managed access

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.
