Since #2644 the machine drawer reads a silent host agent's Thermals and Disks as last known, but the RAID card between them kept presenting the agent's last report as current. On a mock stack the held host showed a green "clean" array and an amber "clean, degraded, recovering" array with "Rebuild: 45% · 98000K/sec" and coloured member badges, as if the array were still rebuilding now. The Machines table's RAID tooltip did the same, with an amber rebuild bar. RaidCard now takes the drawer's lastKnownReason. Every array and member state stays, because an array that degraded before the machine went quiet is evidence, but it reads "(last known)" in muted text beside a muted dot, titled with the reason. A rebuild reads "Rebuild was at N%" without its speed, and member badges lose their status colour, so a member that was not healthy names its state ("/dev/sdb2 · faulty"). The Machines RAID column and tooltip apply the same rule from agent.stale. The guest drawer's Guest RAID card stays as it is: the workload model carries agentRaid but no agent staleness yet. Two fixes ride along in the same primitive. mdadm reports a healthy member as "active sync", which the badge helper only matched as exact "active", so every healthy software RAID member wore the amber warning badge; raidPresentation now reads it as healthy. RaidCard's empty guard ran once at mount, so a drawer opened before the first RAID report never showed the card; it is now tracked. The array header row also wraps, so on a phone the longer last-known state no longer truncates the name.
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
