Non-default organisations run tenant monitors against a detached config copy (#1619). A saved PBS or PMG polling interval reaches them only as a runtime override pushed by the system-settings save (`SetPBSPollingInterval` / `SetPMGPollingInterval`). Their fixed-cadence schedulers read that override, but `Monitor.resourceStaleThresholds` still derived the PBS and PMG stale windows from the config copy. Effect before this change: raising PBS from 1 to 5 minutes left the stale window at 120s, so a healthy PBS or PMG instance in a non-default organisation read stale (status `warning`) for part of every poll cycle until the next restart. Lowering the interval left the window too long. - `resource_stale_thresholds.go`: `resourceStaleThresholds` derives PBS/PMG freshness from the same override-aware, clamped setting readers the scheduler uses. An adaptive scheduler picks its own intervals and ignores the overrides, so freshness there keeps its existing derivation. `ResourceStaleThresholdsForConfig` stays config-only for adapter construction, and the monitor overwrites those thresholds on its next store update. - `canonical_guardrails_test.go`: `TestMonitorResourceStaleThresholdsFollowRuntimePollingOverrides` drives a monitor with a `MonitorAdapter` through `updateResourceStore`. On origin/main, a PBS sighting 3 minutes old reads `warning` under a 5-minute override, and the threshold stays 2m under a raised override and 10m under a lowered one. All subtests pass with the fix. One subtest also ties thresholds to `baseIntervalForInstanceType` for clamped overrides (5s, 90s, 2h). - `monitoring.md`: the derivation note now records the override rule. Unchanged by design: the default organisation shares the server's config pointer (the save writes it directly), and a PVE interval save reloads every monitor from saved config. Verification: the new test fails on origin/main's `resource_stale_thresholds.go` and passes with the fix. The full `internal/monitoring` package passes, and `go vet` is clean.
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.
