`ingestRecord` reuses an existing source-key mapping before any identity matching. For physical disks it checked only the type and parent scope. Proxmox keys a disk by its slot (`ProxmoxPhysicalDiskSourceID`, e.g. `pve1-node1--dev-sdb`), so in a registry seeded from persisted unified resources, a disk swapped into the slot mapped straight back to the previous disk's canonical resource. Where an agent report had been merged in, `mergeInto` also kept the old disk's serial, WWN, temperature and FAILED health. This was found while reviewing #2658, and its contract note said the seeded mapping was not covered. **Change.** A Proxmox disk observation now refuses the mapping when the two disks carry hardware identities naming different disks (`diskinventory.HardwareIdentityConflict` from #2658): - Only fields reported on both sides count. A missing serial or WWN, including Proxmox's literal `unknown`, keeps the mapping. - Differing serials do not count for SAS, because Proxmox may report the SAS address there (#1595). - They also do not count when the mapped disk was merged with an agent report and Proxmox did not read the drive's own serial. This is the same rule monitoring's `hostAgentSMARTSerialComparable` applies: NVMe on both sides, or agent SATA under Proxmox vendor `ATA`, and never a Proxmox `usb` disk. - The refused key falls through to the linked-disk join, `findMatch` and `chooseNewID`, but none of them may merge it back into the refused disk. An ID landing on it is replaced with the key's source-specific ID. **Reachability.** No current caller replays Proxmox disk records over a seeded mapping. The monitor rebuilds a fresh registry each poll. The resource API, host-continuity and Patrol registries seeded from unified resources do not replay Proxmox disk records. This closes the registry contract rather than a reported symptom. **Proof.** `TestRegistrySeededSlotMappingRefusesReplacedDisk` (in `internal/monitoring/issue1595_collection_trust_test.go`) builds the previous disk through `IngestSnapshot` with fixtures shaped like `monitor_pve`'s output, rehydrates with `IngestResources(List())`, polls Proxmox, then rehydrates a second time. - 5 replacement cases: SATA with and without a new WWN, SAS, a USB-enclosure swap ingested Proxmox-first, and a disk Proxmox alone reports. - 8 same-disk controls: re-ingested, no serial, a SAS address serial, SAS without a WWN, a USB bridge serial, a bridge serial under vendor `ATA`, a SCSI designator, and a SCSI designator from an agent without collection status. Negative controls via `go test -overlay` each fail only their intended cases: the whole fix removed, the refused-disk exclusion removed, serial comparability always true or always false, the Proxmox-only branch removed, a collection-status provenance rule instead, and the USB veto removed. The combined tree of main, #2660 and this change also passes `internal/unifiedresources` and the monitoring disk tests. **Residuals (in the unified-resources contract).** - Drives that share a serial they do not own, such as a USB bridge's, still read as one disk, as they do in identity matching. - The refused disk keeps its Proxmox facet until a rebuild, so the slot's PVE alert reference resolves as ambiguous rather than to either disk.
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.
