PulseBoard docs

Everything you need to get from zero to production: ingest your first metric in 30 seconds, deploy PulseAgent across your fleet, wire up AWS / Azure / GCP cloud accounts, configure alerting and on-call schedules, and set up GitOps-managed dashboards. Use the sidebar to navigate — every page is stand-alone and links back to related topics at the bottom.

Get started

Quickstart

Sign up, get a key, push a metric, and view it back — in under a minute.

Ingest protocols

Prometheus remote_write, OTLP/HTTP, Loki push and native JSON on the same edge.

PulseAgent

The Rust collector: sources, processors, install on Linux / Windows / Kubernetes / Lambda.

Self-hosting

Run the MIT-licensed edge in Docker, Kubernetes or bare metal. Mimir backend optional.

Observability

Dashboards & panels

26 panel types, variables, repeats, export-as-code, GitOps reconciliation.

Traces & service map

OTLP/HTTP traces, automatic service-map edges, per-trace waterfalls.

AI Explain

"Why did p99 spike?" answered in-process with deterministic statistics, or your own LLM.

Incident response

Alerts & routing

Full PromQL rule engine, Alertmanager-compatible routing, silences, inhibition, DLQ.

On-call & runbooks

Users, rotations, overrides, multi-step escalations, inline Markdown runbooks with MTTR.

Synthetic uptime

HTTP / TCP / DNS probes from one or more regions, stored as a real pulse_synthetic_up series.

Status pages

Branded /status/<slug> pages backed by metric thresholds and synthetic checks.

Operate

GitOps & export

Reconcile dashboards and rule groups from a Git repo. Export to YAML or Terraform HCL.

Cost attribution

Real-time per-team USD attribution, the same endpoint the pricing calculator uses.

Cardinality killer

Per-label-value caps that block runaway dimensions at ingest, with deploy correlation.

Security & auth

OIDC, RBAC scopes, workspaces, federated workload identity for cross-cloud access.
