infrastructureSummaryCache.ts and workloadsSummaryCache.ts lost their last readers on 2026-05-26, when the InfrastructureSummary card and the standalone Workloads summary were deleted. Their only remaining caller, the Workloads table history hook, runs both fetchers inside createNonSuspendingQuery, which always passes an abort signal, so the in-flight dedupe was skipped as well. What was left ran on every 30-second Trends poll: serialize the whole response on the main thread, then write it to localStorage or, above the 900k-character cap, delete the key. On the 50-node, 929-guest mock estate that was 9.6 MB of workloads JSON and 0.9 MB of infrastructure JSON per poll (5-31 ms each), thrown away every time. The hook now calls ChartsAPI.getWorkloadCharts and getInfrastructureSummaryCharts directly with the same range, signal, maxPoints, node scope and metric list, and the node/agent/Docker-host series fold moves into workloadMetricHistoryModel. The query layer already retains reads across remounts for five minutes and clears them on org switch, so nothing else changes for users. A before/after run on embedded builds showed the same chart requests and sparklines on every node and guest row, with no storage traffic and no multi-megabyte serialization afterwards. The hook takes the deleted cache's place under the workloads-hot-path policy. The subsystem contracts still described InfrastructureSummary, its model and state hook, the shared summary table, selector and details drawer, WorkloadsSummary, throughputPresentation and the two caches as live owners. Those clauses now name the live owner (useWorkloadTableMetricHistory, ProxmoxNodesTable, nodeFromResource, ResponsiveMetricCell, storageSummaryCache, summaryTableFocus), become conditional rules, or are removed where nothing they govern remains.
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
