The overview is where a notification lands, but each active alert was a tall tinted card with five buttons, every card repeated "Notification delivery not turned on", and a three-row stats table sat above the list, so three alerts fit on a 1440x900 screen and about one on a phone. When delivery is off the overview now says so once, with the shared paused-delivery banner (overview wording, a link to set up destinations, Turn on delivery), and rows drop the per-alert line for those global holds. Alert-specific holds such as cooldown or quiet hours still show. Rows are compact: severity on a left edge, a locale-aware start age on the overview's minute clock, Acknowledge, Snooze and Investigate visible, and Timeline and monitoring policy behind a More disclosure. A summary line counts open alerts by severity beside the heading; the override count, which is configuration, leaves the overview. The banner copy now comes from the en/de/es catalogs, and with alerts switched off it no longer claims Pulse is still detecting them (the destinations tab said the same). The banner title was near invisible (text-amber-900/25) and is readable again. Verified in a browser on a mock estate (19 active alerts, delivery not activated) at 1440x900 and 390x844 dark, in English and German; More/Timeline/Less exercised. Five alerts now fit above the fold at 1440x900, up from three. Ledger: rcourtman/pulse-pro FEATURE_REQUESTS.md, Answer-first presentation across platform pages.
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
