PVE disk health and wearout alerts reference the disk by instance, node and device path (`<instance>:<node>:disk:<device key>`). Operator mutes resolve that reference to the disk at the path (#2112), but resource history leaves it unbound, so a physical disk's history (facets, timeline and intelligence APIs, Assistant resource context) does not show its own SMART and wearout alerts. This records why that stays the decision, and pins it with a test. - A device path is not hardware identity. A replacement disk in the same slot, or a reboot that reorders devices, takes over the path, and disk alerts are evaluated before their poll's disks reach the registry, so an event can resolve against a generation that still places another disk there. - A history binding belongs to the reference string and moves to its latest target, carrying every row journaled under the reference and every read of it. Bound, the path would put a replaced disk's alerts into its successor's history, and the Alerts history Resource action (which reads incidents by the alert's own reference) would show the successor's incidents for the predecessor's alert. - A binding guarded by the serial each disk alert records was built and measured on a mock estate (mock mode needed a build overlay to evaluate PVE disk alerts at all). It bound correctly while disks kept their paths, but review found rejected events still joining the currently bound disk, a removed retained target accepting a successor's event, no WWN in the alert metadata, a non-atomic check and write, and retry expiry abandoning rows. That attempt is not in this PR. Binding these alerts needs ownership per row (each event under the disk its recorded hardware identity names, rows without usable identity left under the reference, and a decided read for the Resource action), not a per-reference binding. The contract paragraph in `unified-resources.md` says so. Test: `TestHistoryIdentityLeavesProxmoxDiskAlertReferencesUnbound` (live event and backfilled legacy row stay under the reference and out of the disk's history, while `ResolveReferenceID` still resolves the reference for mutes). It fails against the reverted binding implementation.
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.
- Move a Pulse installation
