Pulse watches Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes, TrueNAS, and vSphere in one place, connects related failures, and shows what needs attention before another alert becomes an outage.

You have Grafana graphs and Zabbix alerts. But do you actually look at them? Most homelab outages happen because "alerts were noisy" or "I didn't check the dashboard."
Pulse is different. It doesn't just graph CPU usage. It analyzes why CPU is high, connects it to that failing backup job, and tells you the root cause in plain English.
These aren't hypotheticals. These are real findings from production homelabs running Pulse. Findings like these come free with every install, using your own LLM key.
At current growth rate, pool will be full in 3 days. ZFS performance degrades significantly above 80%.
6 unexpected reboots in the last 24 hours. Memory usage spikes to 98% before each restart.
"nightly-backup" last succeeded on Dec 18. VM 102 (postgres) has no recent protection.
System time is 47s behind cluster. Can cause ceph issues and VM migration failures.
Container "plex" running but failing health checks on port 32400 for > 2 hours.
Network config differs on node pve3. vmbr0 MTU is 1500 vs 9000 on other nodes.
"Pulse is by far the best way to monitor my Proxmox hosts in a single dashboard. No overwhelming metrics that nobody cares about. Just what you need."
When you ask ChatGPT about your server, you have to describe everything manually. Patrol sees your entire infrastructure at once, with historical context no generic LLM can access.
This is what makes Patrol catch issues that static alerts miss.
It's not just "CPU > 90%". It's "CPU spiked to 85% but that's normal for this VM during backups, however the backup hasn't completed in 3 hours which is unusual."
Traditional alerts wake you up with noise. Pulse wakes you up with answers. Pro goes beyond the free findings and has Patrol investigate each alert the moment it fires.
Patrol doesn't just find problems. It can build a safe fix plan, show the exact command, and run it only under the approval policy you choose.
Install once, monitor everything. The agent auto-detects Docker, Kubernetes, and Proxmox with no manual configuration.

Community reviews of Pulse
Pulse is available today as a self-hosted product. Keep it in your own environment with Community, then choose Relay for access or Pro for operations when you need that job.
Run Pulse inside your own environment. Start with Community. Relay is there for secure access from anywhere; Pro is there when you want Patrol to investigate and fix, not just report.
Try the current hosted demo before installing anything. It shows the operational shape of Pulse without asking you to connect your own systems first.
Choose the self-hosted plan that fits your setup.
Standard self-hosted plans cover one Pulse environment. Pulse MSP gives providers a single Pulse Account to run many clients, with an isolated Pulse runtime per client: separate dashboards, alerts, webhooks, users, audit history, and reports. Provider-hosted by default; Pulse-hosted by request.
Up to 5 client workspaces, provider-hosted. Request setup while public MSP checkout is in assisted preview.
Request MSP StarterFor 15+ client workspaces: Growth covers up to 15, Scale up to 40. Larger, white-label, or Pulse-hosted rollouts stay request-assisted.
