**Keep failed PBS namespace discovery out of complete backup evidence** Carry namespace discovery errors with the immutable datastore snapshot into background backup polling. Readable root history still updates, but unknown child namespaces cannot delete durable facts or claim complete protection. Cover real HTTP discovery through ingest, replacement state, repeated failures, scoped removal, recovery and legacy root-only support. **Initialize the connection outcome map in namespace poll regressions** The fixture drives the real connection poll and therefore needs its ordinary poll-status map, in addition to backup scheduling and recovery state. Keep the new lifecycle proof independent of fixture setup panics. **Account for accepted new archives beside retained partial PBS history** The namespace lifecycle test advances the root archive timestamp. A partial instance-wide scan must retain the two historical points and accept that new root point, not replace all root history. Assert every historical point remains byte-identical and exactly one independently accepted new point is present. **Distinguish failed PBS discovery from an empty backup scope** Carry failed and accepted-empty discovery through ordinary serialized backup polling. Preserve unreadable history, reconcile only confirmed absence, and reject malformed datastore envelopes before destructive reconciliation. Contract-Neutral: Enforces existing PBS scope-evidence semantics; no API, model, policy or permission change. **Model an existing PBS interval in the skipped-scope regression** The live interval setter deliberately schedules a catch-up poll. Test not-due admission with an already-configured interval and its retained completed-poll timestamp instead. --- Fleet candidate `20261023T220242Z-core-runtime` from the `core-runtime` lane.

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.
Need help with a failure? Read the safe reporting guidance before sharing evidence. A second reproduction or diagnostics export is not required; keep the original evidence if another attempt could interrupt workloads or send duplicate notifications. GitHub reports and attachments are public: review them locally and keep credentials and private details out.
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
