rcourtman ac631eadb8 Alert on the Unraid temperature an agent disk shows
A host agent's disk can show a temperature only its Unraid inventory
reports: a SMART row whose smartctl probe returned none takes its
Unraid row's reading, and a disk only the inventory lists is built from
that row alone. The Physical Disks Temp cell, the Running Hot verdict
and Patrol judge that reading against the alert disk temperature
policy, but CheckHost read only the SMART row's own field, so a disk
could read as at its alert threshold while no alert fired.

unifiedresources.HostDiskTemperatureReadings now lists the reading each
of a host's disks shows, built with the registry's own adapters: one
per SMART row, then one per Unraid row whose disk key no SMART row
carries (the history writer's rule). CheckHost judges those. SMART rows
keep their alert resource IDs, an inventory-only disk uses its block
device token, and per-type thresholds follow the disk type the disk
shows. Only a reading collected now fires or resolves, so spun-down
disks hold their alerts. When conflicting serials put two disks on one
device, its alert judges the reading that stands highest against its
own type's threshold.

An inventory-only disk the agent's --disk-exclude patterns match raises
nothing, and an alert it raised before the exclusion resolves on the
next report, as the documented exclusion from monitoring already
suppresses linked Proxmox health and wear alerts. Absence cleanup still
runs only on a non-empty SMART list.

Unraid's own disk temperature notifications do not make this
redundant: Pulse already alerts on the smartctl readings and array
state of the same hosts, which Unraid also notifies on.

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.
