First-install notes

  • Set the shared logger when your app launches Create NetworkLogger.shared at app launch and set options like excludedHosts (a list of websites not to log). If you skip it, Pulse may use default settings and log noisy hosts you wanted to hide. source
  • Start remote logging on the main actor Call enable() on the main actor (the app’s main thread of work) so the logger begins searching for available servers. Without it, remote logging never turns on and your app won’t send logs to a server. source
  • Hide sensitive details before logs are saved Use willHandleEvent (a hook that runs before an event is stored) to remove or block events that contain private information. If you don’t, that data can be written into the log store and later shared or exposed. source

Common questions

What happens if I forget a local Pulse password?

Pulse does not provide an email password-reset flow. If the instance uses local username and password authentication, recovery requires shell access to the Pulse host or container and deployment-specific steps.

What does Pulse Pro add over community installations?

Pulse Pro adds investigation and policy-bound fixes with approval, verification, and an audit trail.

Can Pulse Patrol use a local model or my own AI provider?

Yes. Community installations can use a local model or their own AI provider for watch-only analysis.

Are agent commands enabled by default?

No. Agent commands are disabled by default.

Should I choose an exact version during setup?

The quick start says to choose an exact version from the latest release.
