Follows #2608, which made `MonitorAdapter.RecordChange` resolve Proxmox and agent alert references to canonical resources. Three kinds of alert reference still journaled under strings no resource answers to: - Docker host alerts (`docker:<host ID>`) - Swarm service alerts (`docker:<host ID>/service/<ID>`) - sub-resource alerts such as ZFS pool and device health (`<storage ID>/zfs-pool:<pool>[/device:<dev>]`) and host filesystem, SMART, RAID and sensor alerts (`agent:<host ID>/disk:…` etc.) Resource facets, timelines, resource intelligence and Assistant context read history by canonical ID, so these alerts never appeared there. ## What changes - **Docker host refs** resolve through the registry's Docker source ID. - **Swarm service refs** resolve through the host's Swarm cluster to the service with that exact ID, from any manager that reports it. A service with no ID is referenced by its name in the same slot, so while a cluster has such a service, every service ref there is a conflict and binds nothing. - **Never bind:** container names, shortened container IDs and hostless `docker-service:<name>` refs never bind, and are no longer retried against later inventory. - **Sub-resource refs** bind to the owner whose durable ID they carry: - ZFS pool and device alerts go to the storage. - The Unraid array alert goes to its array storage. - Filesystem, SMART, disk temperature, RAID and custom-sensor alerts go to the host. - The owner must resolve to exactly one resource of the expected type. An ambiguous or incompatible owner is a conflict. - Mount and kernel device labels can name a different disk after a reboot, so these alerts never bind a physical disk. - **Retries:** a reference that hits a conflict at write time now enters the backfill retry set, the same as one found at startup. ## Known residuals (producer-side, follow-up proposed) - A container with no ID alerts under its host's reference (`DockerResourceID(host, "")`), so its events join that host's history (never another container's). - An ID-less service whose name equals another service's ID shares that service's reference. Rows it journaled can join the other service's history once a later generation or event binds the reference. Swarm always reports service IDs, so this needs a malformed report. Both are documented in the contract. Separating them needs a producer change in `internal/alerts`. ## Evidence Private `PULSE_MOCK_MODE` stack, fresh data dir. The binary at #2608's tip ran first, then this change on the same dir. Alert rows were classified by source reference (from `alert_identifier`) and checked against each owner's `/api/resources/{id}/timeline`: | ref shape | rows readable via owner timeline, before | after | |---|---|---| | Docker host | 0 / 1 | 3 / 3 | | Swarm service | 0 / 5 | 19 / 19 | | ZFS pool | 0 / 9 | 26 / 26 | | ZFS device | 0 / 9 | 27 / 27 | | agent filesystem | 0 / 1 | 3 / 3 | | Docker container (mock short IDs) | 0 / 11 | 0 / 30, no container alias written | Tests: - `TestHistoryIdentityMonitorAdapterResolvesDockerHostAndServiceReferences` covers multi-manager services, a Docker host merged into its agent machine, legacy-row backfill, recovery after removal, ID-less service conflicts, and names and short IDs staying unbound. - `TestHistoryIdentityMonitorAdapterResolvesSubResourceReferences` covers every owner shape, wrong-type and ambiguous owners, retained bindings, write-time conflict retry, and physical disks staying unbound. - `TestOwnerAlertTimelinesUseCanonicalHistoryIdentity` drives the real alert manager for Docker host offline, Swarm service gap, ZFS pool/device and host filesystem alerts. It fails on #2608's tip. UI reach: the Docker, storage and platform host-row drawers don't request per-resource history. This fix reaches the facets/timeline/intelligence APIs and Assistant resource context, not a drawer.
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
