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.
