Container update detection only ever negotiated anonymous pull tokens, so
containers from registries that reject anonymous digest HEADs pinned a
permanent "authentication required" badge (#1706). The agent already runs
on the Docker host, so the checker now resolves the same credential store
docker pull uses - config.json auths entries, credsStore/credHelpers
credential helpers (docker-credential-<name> get), and Podman's auth.json -
and presents the stored login: Basic auth on Bearer token negotiation and
on the hardcoded Docker Hub / ghcr.io token endpoints, direct answers to
Basic challenges, and the refresh-token grant for identity-token logins
such as Azure ACR.
Credentials never leave the host: they are only presented to the registry
or its token endpoint, helper output stays out of reported check errors,
and lookups are cached in memory for five minutes. Helper names are
validated before exec, and a stale login falls back to the anonymous path
so checks that used to work keep working. Set
PULSE_DISABLE_REGISTRY_CREDENTIALS=true (--disable-registry-credentials)
to keep detection anonymous-only. The agent-lifecycle and security-privacy
subsystem contracts pin the host-local credential boundary.
Probe ~/.docker/run/docker.sock for RuntimeDocker and RuntimeAuto
before falling back to /var/run/docker.sock. This lets the agent
connect on macOS without requiring DOCKER_HOST to be set manually.

- Major updates to README.md and docs/README.md for Pulse v5
- Added technical deep-dives for Pulse Pro (docs/PULSE_PRO.md) and AI Patrol (docs/AI.md)
- Updated Prometheus metrics documentation and Helm schema for metrics separation
- Refreshed security, installation, and deployment documentation for unified agent models
- Cleaned up legacy summary files
The storage deduplication logic only checked cluster config's Shared
flag, but this required the cluster config API call to succeed. When
the per-node storage API already returns shared=1 (as the user
verified), we should use that directly.
Now we check three sources for shared storage detection:
1. Per-node API shared flag (storage.Shared)
2. Cluster config shared flag (if available)
3. Storage type heuristics (NFS, RBD, PBS, etc.)

Add contextual help icons throughout the UI to improve feature
discoverability. Users can click (?) icons to see explanations
with examples for settings they might not understand.
- HelpIcon component with click-to-open popover
- Centralized help content registry in /content/help/
- FeatureTip component for dismissible contextual tips
- Help added to: alert delay, AI endpoints, update channel
- Add to DOCKER.md configuration table and new 'Disabling Update Features' section
- Add to CONFIGURATION.md monitoring overrides table
- Clarify difference between disabling update detection vs hiding buttons
- Separated metrics collection into internal/dockeragent/collect.go
- Added agent self-update pre-flight check (--self-test)
- Implemented signed binary verification with key rotation for updates
- Added batch update support to frontend with parallel processing
- Cleaned up agent.go and added startup cleanup for backup containers
- Updated documentation for Docker features and agent security
- Document the new one-click container update feature
- Explain update detection, safety features, and requirements
- Bump VERSION to 5.0.6 for release
Addresses issue #861 - syslog flooded on docker host
Many routine operational messages were being logged at INFO level,
causing excessive log volume when monitoring multiple VMs/containers.
These messages are now logged at DEBUG level:
- Guest threshold checking (every guest, every poll cycle)
- Storage threshold checking (every storage, every poll cycle)
- Host agent linking messages
- Filesystem inclusion in disk calculation
- Guest agent disk usage replacement
- Polling start/completion messages
- Alert cleanup and save messages
Users can set LOG_LEVEL=debug to see these messages if needed for
troubleshooting. The default INFO level now produces significantly
less log output.
Also updated documentation in CONFIGURATION.md and DOCKER.md to:
- Clarify what each log level includes
- Add tip about using LOG_LEVEL=warn for minimal logging
Adds IncludeAllDeployments option to show all deployments, not just
problem ones (where replicas don't match desired). This provides parity
with the existing --kube-include-all-pods flag.
- Add IncludeAllDeployments to kubernetesagent.Config
- Add --kube-include-all-deployments flag and PULSE_KUBE_INCLUDE_ALL_DEPLOYMENTS env var
- Update collectDeployments to respect the new flag
- Add test for IncludeAllDeployments functionality
- Update UNIFIED_AGENT.md documentation
Addresses feedback from PR #855
