# 📉 Adaptive Polling
|
|
|
|
Pulse uses an adaptive scheduler to optimize polling based on instance health and activity.
|
|
|
|
## 🧠 Architecture
|
|
- **Scheduler**: Calculates intervals based on health/staleness.
|
|
- **Priority Queue**: Min-heap keyed by `NextRun`.
|
|
- **Circuit Breaker**: Prevents hot loops on failing instances using success/failure counters.
|
|
- **Backoff**: Exponential retry delays (5s min to 5m max).
|
|
- **Worker Pool**: One worker per configured instance (PVE/PBS/PMG), capped at 10.
|
|
- **Global Concurrency Cap**: At most 2 polling cycles run at once to avoid resource spikes.
|
|
|
|
## 🔬 Implementation Details (Developer Info)
|
|
|
|
### Staleness Scoring
|
|
The `AdaptiveScheduler` (`internal/monitoring/scheduler.go`) relies on the `StalenessTracker` to compute a `StalenessScore` (0.0 to 1.0) based on **how long it has been since the last successful poll**.
|
|
|
|
- `0.0` = fresh (recent success)
|
|
- `1.0` = very stale or never succeeded
|
|
|
|
The staleness score is normalized against `AdaptivePollingMaxInterval` (default 5 minutes).
|
|
|
|
The scheduler applies **Exponential Smoothing** (alpha 0.6) and a small jitter (5%) to avoid oscillation.
|
|
|
|
Additional influences:
|
|
- **Error penalty**: retries tighten the interval based on the error count.
|
|
- **Queue stretch**: large queues gently stretch intervals to avoid overload.
|
|
|
|
### Circuit Breaker Recovery
|
|
The `circuitBreaker` (`internal/monitoring/circuit_breaker.go`) follows a standard state machine:
|
|
1. **Closing the Circuit**: One successful poll moves *Half-Open* → *Closed* and resets failure count.
|
|
2. **Backoff Calculation**: Retries use exponential backoff starting at 5s (multiplier 2, jitter 0.2) capped at 5m.
|
|
3. **Transient vs. Permanent**:
|
|
- **Transient** errors (retryable) are retried up to 5 times before moving to the Dead Letter Queue.
|
|
- **Permanent** errors move directly to the Dead Letter Queue.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** When `AdaptivePollingMaxInterval` is set to 15 seconds or less, the retry backoff is shortened (750ms initial, 4s max) to keep fast feedback loops during tight polling windows.
|
|
|
|
## ⚙️ Configuration
|
|
Adaptive polling is **disabled by default**.
|
|
|
|
### UI
|
|
There is currently no dedicated UI for adaptive polling in v5.
|
|
|
|
### Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Default | Description |
|
|
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
|
|
| `ADAPTIVE_POLLING_ENABLED` | `false` | Enable/disable. |
|
|
| `ADAPTIVE_POLLING_BASE_INTERVAL` | `10s` | Healthy poll rate. |
|
|
| `ADAPTIVE_POLLING_MIN_INTERVAL` | `5s` | Active/busy rate. |
|
|
| `ADAPTIVE_POLLING_MAX_INTERVAL` | `5m` | Idle/backoff rate. |
|
|
|
|
### system.json
|
|
You can also set `adaptivePollingEnabled` (and related interval fields) in `system.json` and restart Pulse.

## ⚡ Circuit Breaker
|
|
|
|
| State | Trigger | Recovery |
|
|
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
|
|
| **Closed** | Normal operation. | — |
|
|
| **Open** | ≥3 failures. | Backoff (max 5m). |
|
|
| **Half-open** | Retry window elapsed. | Success = Closed; Fail = Open. |
|
|
|
|
**Dead Letter Queue**: After 5 transient or 1 permanent failure, tasks move to DLQ (30m retry).
