rcourtman 415c09dafc Judge resources API freshness by the monitor's thresholds
The resources API rebuilds its registry from the monitor's unified
seed, but built it with NewRegistry and plain ingests, so its stale
pass used the registry defaults while the monitor judges each source
by its configured polling cadence. A Proxmox node polled every two
minutes read stale, with warning status, in /api/resources ninety
seconds after its poll while the websocket called it online.

Presentation coalescing had the same gap in both views. When it merges
an agent row the registry kept apart into its Proxmox node by hostname,
it picked each reading's source by the default thresholds, so the row
showed a silent agent's readings over a poll the registry calls
current.

The seed now carries the thresholds its registry generation was judged
by. The monitor adapter records them per generation: thresholds set
since the last rebuild wait for the rebuild that applies them, and the
read-state overlays and live supplemental refreshes of a generation are
judged by its thresholds, since re-judging a listing cannot clear a
stale verdict it already carries. The monitor lists a generation with
its thresholds from one registry pointer, and a view built from mock
fixtures or a bare snapshot reports none (the defaults it was judged
by). The monitor hands seed, freshness and thresholds over from one
view, per tenant too. The resources API builds
its registry with them (NewRegistryWithStaleThresholds: ingests and
stale passes that pass none use them) and keys its cache on its own
copy. The coalesce judges metric freshness with metricSourceStale, the
rule the stale pass and the merge already share, and both the
broadcast and ListForPresentation pass their view's thresholds. The
broadcast coalesce also honours the operator's merge exclusions, so the
adapter's CoalesceForPresentation takes the listing's thresholds next
to them.

Patrol's scoped runtime state still rebuilds registries with the
defaults.

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.
