rcourtman ff3df67492 Read platform alert Started as an age that keeps moving
The Docker, Kubernetes, TrueNAS and vSphere alert tables showed
Started as "Oct 6, 10:34 AM". It clipped on phones and at 768px. An
open alert's Started cell answers how long it has been going on, so
it now reads as an age ("2h ago"), as alert cards do. The exact time
is the cell's hover text and stays in the drawer. Docker's column
takes the numeric-value alignment the other three use.

Making it an age exposed a wider bug: platform tables keep rows
mounted across data refreshes, so an age computed at render froze
while its timestamp did not change, reading "2h ago" three hours
later. That already applied to every PlatformTableRelativeTimeValue
cell (Kubernetes events, Docker volumes, vSphere activity and others).
A shared clock, useRelativeTimeNow, now ticks every 30 seconds while
any cell reads it and stops when none do. The relative-time cell and
the alert tables pass it to formatRelativeTime as `now`, and the
guardrails pin that.

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.
