After acknowledging an alert on Alerts > Overview, an unacknowledge from another session never brought the card back in that tab until a reload, although /api/alerts/active and the store both had it unacknowledged. useAlertAcknowledgementState kept its own acknowledgement override over the store alerts. Its release effect never read the override signal and only re-ran when the Object.values memo over the keyed store changed, which in-place store writes do not trigger. The override outlived the server's confirmation and then masked the server's next change; whether it cleared depended on unrelated alerts appearing or resolving. The websocket store's updateAlert already writes the optimistic state and holds back stale payloads until the server confirms, so the hook now writes through it and keeps no copy (its only caller always passed it). The store hold had gaps of its own: - The backend broadcasts after writing the HTTP response, so the confirming payload can arrive before the response resolves. The hold then waited for a second confirmation, skipped a following remote unacknowledge, and after 15s showed "Server did not confirm the alert acknowledgment in time" without re-syncing. A change the stored alert already shows now sets no hold and keeps the server's ackTime/ackUser. - A hold that gives up now re-syncs from /api/alerts/active, fetching again if a recovery it joins is fenced out, since a quiet estate may send no further alert delta. - A local acknowledgement write supersedes a REST recovery in flight, whose response may predate the write: the store discards it and fetches again once it settles. Tests: hook tests over a real createStore/reconcile store (local acknowledge then remote unacknowledge, local restore then remote acknowledge, bulk) and the overview-state test backed by a keyed store fail on the old hook at the remote-change step. The store tests for the broadcast-before-response race and the give-up fail on the old store; the recovery races are each pinned by a test that fails when its mechanism is removed. Browser check on a private mock stack at 1280x900 and 375x812: a local acknowledge then a curl unacknowledge brings the card back within 2s (before, it stayed hidden while the nav badge already counted it); a local restore then a remote acknowledge moves it back to Acknowledged; with the acknowledge response delayed 1.5s so the socket wins, the card returns at once with no toast, where main's store held it back for about 16s and then showed the toast.
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
