## What it is
Pulse is a self-hosted infrastructure monitoring application for Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes, TrueNAS, and vSphere, combining live state, history, adaptive alerts, and scheduled AI-driven health checks (Patrol). It provides dedicated per-platform views with backup/recovery visibility and webhook-based alert delivery.

## Use cases
- monitor proxmox cluster nodes and guests
- get alerts when docker containers become unhealthy
- track failed proxmox backup server jobs
- monitor kubernetes cluster health from a single dashboard
- watch truenas zfs pools and replication tasks
- self-hosted monitoring for homelab infrastructure
- catch silent infrastructure failures automatically

## When to choose
- you run Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes, TrueNAS, or vSphere and want one unified monitoring workspace
- you want self-hosted, privacy-first monitoring without an enterprise stack like Zabbix or Prometheus
- you need backup and replication job monitoring with recovery visibility
- you want adaptive alerting that avoids alert flapping

## When to avoid
- you need full Prometheus/Grafana-style metrics pipelines and custom exporters
- you only monitor cloud services like AWS or GCP rather than virtualization and container platforms
- you require vSphere support in production without validation, as it is early access

## Facets
- artifact type: application
