rcourtman 95b29286dd Stop serving retained disk temperatures as current readings
Normalization may keep a disk temperature it did not collect (a disk in
standby, a host agent past its reporting lease) as long as its collection
state says so. Two consumers still presented that value as current.

The metrics-history handler answered an empty disk range with the disk's
temperature as a "live" point at now, regardless of its state. Since the
history writers stopped recording retained temperatures, a short-range
chart for a silent agent's disk or a sleeping disk showed the retained
value as a fresh reading. Mock mode also seeded synthetic series from it
and padded sparse stored series out to now. All of these now require a
temperature collected now (diskinventory.TemperatureCollected, the
shared form of the rule the history writers apply).

Unraid array-inventory rows carry no per-field provenance, so a
temperature taken from one looked collected after the agent went silent.
The adapter now derives its state from the host lease that
ExpireHostTelemetry already records, and from the disk's spin state:
unavailable once the host is offline or the disk is spun down. A SMART
row that borrows the inventory reading takes that state, including
available. The native row records only the withdrawing states, because
the registry merge picks temperature and state separately and an
available claim from it would mask the SMART row's own state. A
withdrawn inventory temperature no longer counts as heat in disk risk.

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

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.
