Pulse v6.4.0 Release Notes

v6.4.0 is a stable minor release that makes alerts more trustworthy and actionable, detects capacity and hardware risk earlier, and keeps large or mixed infrastructure estates fast, accurate, and easier to operate.

What's improved

• Alerts that survive restarts - Active incidents, acknowledgements, snoozes, resolutions, and delivery evidence now rebuild from a durable event log without briefly showing a false all-clear.
• More control over notifications - Use informational severity, snooze alerts, schedule scoped recurring maintenance, route destinations by severity, repeat critical escalations, and see why delivery was sent, held, suppressed, or failed.
• Earlier resource warnings - Rolling CPU averages detect sustained pressure instead of reacting to one sample, while predictive storage alerts warn when current growth could exhaust capacity.
• Stronger disk-health monitoring - Expanded SMART policies cover sector, media, endurance, spare, and CRC risks. TrueNAS evidence stays visible, empty Unraid slots stay neutral, and duplicate Proxmox disks merge.
• External monitoring for Pulse itself - Pulse can ping a Healthchecks-compatible service every minute, report interruptions after restart, and reject endpoints on the Pulse host that could mask an outage.
• Faster large estates - Windowed tables and keyed live updates cut the measured Storage cold load from about 15.6 seconds to 1.1 seconds. Docker also avoids re-inspecting unchanged stopped containers every 30 seconds.
• Clearer desktop and mobile workflows - Consistent tables, drawers, timelines, charts, touch controls, and searchable phone Settings make infrastructure details and alert investigations easier to navigate.
• More accurate Proxmox and PBS coverage - Node identity, history, networking, backups, RAID members, LXC filesystems, and linked agents now retain the correct source and context, even when installations reuse node names.
• More reliable agents and actions - Credential changes are atomic, re-enrolment is available from diagnostics, install tokens are easier to copy, and Proxmox VM or LXC actions no longer require a QEMU guest agent.
• More dependable Patrol runs - Patrol retries provider startup on each schedule, reconciles existing findings when enabled, verifies Docker recovery, and uses current Anthropic model pricing for budget enforcement.
• Updates that work through rate limits - If GitHub releases are rate limited, Pulse selects the correct release and signed archive for the current Linux architecture so in-app updates can still start.

Before you upgrade

• Existing configurations remain valid. Alert identity and history migrations run automatically, with no manual data migration required.
• Pulse Mobile iOS build 12 and Android versionCode 9 remain compatible. The new alert_fired push uses the existing view_alert action, so no companion mobile release is required.
• Windows Unified Agent binaries are not Authenticode-signed while SignPath remains unavailable and may show an Unknown Publisher warning. Verify downloads with the published checksums and detached signatures.
• The rollback target is stable v6.3.2. Use ./scripts/install.sh --version v6.3.2 if you need to return to the previous stable release.
