Pulse v5.1.0-rc.1

This RC focuses on AI workflow updates, new monitoring views, and reliability fixes.

What's New

AI & Operations

  • AI Intelligence refresh: New findings view, patrol status, approvals, remediation status, and run history.
  • Remediation plans: Clear plan categories (informational, guided, one-click, autonomous) with execution tracking.
  • Incident context: High-frequency incident capture includes pre-incident history for investigations.
  • Storage & backups tools: AI can now query PBS, ZFS pools, Ceph status, and replication jobs.
  • PMG tools: AI can inspect mail stats, queues, spam scores, and quarantine status.
  • Kubernetes tools: AI can query clusters/nodes/pods/deployments and run scoped actions with approval.
  • DeepSeek support: OpenAI-compatible client handling for DeepSeek Chat/Reasoner.

UI & Monitoring

  • Guest drawer history: Inline drawer with 24h/7d/30d/90d history charts (30d/90d require Pro).
  • Discovery tab: New UI entry point for infrastructure discovery.
  • System logs: Live log streaming and support bundle download.
  • Docker views: Unified Docker table and cluster services view.
  • Settings layout: Consolidated panels with consistent layout and visual polish.

Platform

  • Long-term metrics history: 30d/90d ranges with downsampling (Pro feature).
  • SQLite stability: Better timeout handling and reduced contention under I/O pressure.
  • Arm64 builds: Pure-Go SQLite driver enables CGO-free arm64 images.
  • Webhook security: SSRF protections for private/localhost/metadata targets (allowlist supported).

Breaking Changes

  • Legacy sensor proxy removed: pulse-sensor-proxy and related config are removed. Temperature monitoring now relies on unified agents.
  • Config rename: BackendHost/BackendPort replaced by BindAddress. BACKEND_HOST is deprecated; port is controlled by FrontendPort.

Fixes (Selected)

  • Offline alert recovery no longer deadlocks.
  • Guest alerts no longer misclassified as node alerts in single-node setups.
  • Host disk threshold overrides now persist correctly.
  • Backup/snapshot settings no longer reset from Global Defaults edits.
  • Setup wizard now shows validation errors and avoids advancing on invalid tokens.
  • SMTP auth now negotiates server-supported mechanisms (including LOGIN for Microsoft 365).
  • Agent installer now supports --hostname and improved URL handling.
  • Disk exclusion patterns now match device paths and disk I/O.
  • WebSocket reconnection now refreshes alert config state.
  • PBS backup verification status now updates after cache populated.
  • Patrol interval setting now persists correctly across reloads.
