rcourtman c22871c0bd Make alert threshold Off stick for Docker, PMG and backups
Several Off toggles on the Thresholds page did nothing or did the
opposite, because each layer read 0, -1 and "missing" differently:

- PMG and Docker restart/memory-limit defaults: the toggle sends -1
  and NormalizePMGDefaults/NormalizeDockerDefaults turned anything <= 0
  back into the factory value, so Off reverted on save. The Docker
  restart-loop and memory-limit checks also had no Off at all.
- Backup and snapshot critical age: the editor sanitizers and the save
  payload raised a 0 critical to the warning age, so turning critical
  off made backups go critical at the warning age.
- A Docker container override saved for CPU alone carried
  DisableConnectivity=false and re-enabled that container's state
  alerts over a disabled Docker default.
- Per-server PMG cells, PMG bulk edit and per-container restart and
  memory-limit cells wrote fields ThresholdConfig does not have, so
  the backend dropped them on save.

0 is now Off for these counts; negative values (the toggle's -1) are
stored as 0. Keys an older alerts.json or an import omits decode as
ThresholdCountUnset and take the factory value, so existing installs
keep their alerts; persistence resolves the marker before writing. A
PMG quarantine growth level with one half Off turns that level off
instead of invalidating the spec and skipping the whole check. Docker
container overrides re-enable state alerts only with their own
severity, as applyThresholdOverride does elsewhere. The frontend keeps
a 0 critical age Off, the group header says "Restart loop off", and
rows only offer metrics an override can store.

AI Patrol's threshold adapter still maps an Off alert threshold to its
factory value; that is a Patrol product decision and is left as is.

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.

Localized getting started guides: Deutsch · Español

Platforms and agents

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

Pulse Intelligence

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

Plans and managed access

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.
