`useWorkloadTableMetricHistory` ran two polled estate-wide reads per instance in Trends mode: the workloads history (`/api/charts/workloads`) and the infrastructure summary (`/api/charts/infrastructure`). Since #2622 removed the host metric cells from grouped workload rows, the Workloads surface reads only guest series, and the Proxmox nodes table never read anything but node series. Two instances never shared reads either: each forwards its own abort signal, which skips the summary caches' in-flight dedupe, and retained query values only seed matching mounts and source changes without sharing requests. So every reader paid for both routes every 30 seconds. The hook now takes a required `series: 'guests' | 'nodes'` option. The Workloads state passes `'guests'` and the Proxmox nodes table passes `'nodes'` (and drops the `selectedNode` it never needed), so each reader polls one route. ### Measured Private demo-mode mock stack, Trends on, 95 s per page (first read + three 30 s polls), reads per poll tick: | Page | Viewport | Before (infra + workloads) | After (infra + workloads) | |---|---|---|---| | /vmware | desktop 1440x900 | 1 + 1 | 0 + 1 | | /vmware | phone 390x844 | 1 + 1 | 0 + 1 | | /proxmox/overview | desktop 1440x900 | 2 + 2 | 1 + 1 | | /proxmox/overview | phone 390x844 | 2 + 2 | 1 + 1 | Node table sparklines on /proxmox/overview still draw for every row (36 on desktop, 18 on phone), and the guest table sparklines are unchanged. ### Tests - `useWorkloadTableMetricHistory.test.tsx`: a `'guests'` reader polls only the workloads route and a `'nodes'` reader only the infrastructure route, across two polls. Both cases fail with the gating reverted. - `ProxmoxNodesTable.test.tsx`: the table asks for node history only, with no node scope, and enables it only in Trends. - `WorkloadsSurface.performance.contract.test.tsx` pins both call sites and the gating. The performance contract claimed the two readers deduped their fetches; it now says they do not and that each reader polls only what it renders. The adjacent Bars-mode prose (performance and frontend-primitives contracts) described one active-row request that leaving the row cancels; it now describes the bounded warming window the hook has actually run since the history lens shipped. Stacked on #2622, whose auto-merge is already on: this branch contains its commits and merges cleanly with main either way round.
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
