It integrates with Proxmox to pull hardware details, backup tasks, and VM/LXC stats including CPU, RAM, storage, and networking. It also supports Docker, TrueNAS, and Windows systems. Pulse includes configurable alert thresholds with notifications via SMTP, Apprise, or webhooks, and features an AI-powered diagnostics tab that can be paired with local LLMs for troubleshooting. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What can Pulse monitor that Uptime Kuma cannot? Pulse can pull detailed resource statistics directly from Proxmox nodes, including CPU, RAM, storage, networking, uptime, and operational status of individual LXCs and virtual machines, without needing them added manually. Uptime Kuma lacks built-in resource monitoring for workstations and requires manually adding virtual guests, whereas Pulse also monitors Docker, TrueNAS, and Windows systems from one dashboard. _daily.dev surfaces comparisons like this for anyone choosing between home lab monitoring tools._ ### How does Pulse send alert notifications for Proxmox monitoring? Pulse can send alerts through SMTP servers, Apprise, or webhooks, in addition to its web UI, and lets users fine-tune alert thresholds, including resource consumption meters, so notifications do not trigger excessively during experimental workloads. This flexibility avoids being tied solely to checking a dashboard for critical issues on Proxmox nodes. _Home lab operators tuning alerting pipelines can track tool capabilities like this through daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [I paired this Uptime Kuma killer with local LLMs, and monitoring my Proxmox servers has never been easier](https://daily.dev/posts/i-paired-this-uptime-kuma-killer-with-local-llms-and-monitoring-my-proxmox-servers-has-never-been-e-oqm1iqo3w) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [I replaced four monitoring dashboards with Pulse, but one tool refused to go away](https://daily.dev/posts/i-replaced-four-monitoring-dashboards-with-pulse-but-one-tool-refused-to-go-away-qq7zgzqk8) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Monitor Your Servers With Free Uptime Kuma Container](https://daily.dev/posts/monitor-your-servers-with-free-uptime-kuma-container-okauiiybz) · The New Stack · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [This tiny Docker container monitors my entire network and alerts me before things break](https://daily.dev/posts/this-tiny-docker-container-monitors-my-entire-network-and-alerts-me-before-things-break-1nshgyvji) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#docker](https://daily.dev/tags/docker), [#monitoring](https://daily.dev/tags/monitoring), [#self-hosting](https://daily.dev/tags/self-hosting), [#homelab](https://daily.dev/tags/homelab), [#proxmox](https://daily.dev/tags/proxmox) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/i-replaced-uptime-kuma-with-this-powerful-tool-and-it-monitors-my-proxmox-docker-and-truenas-syst-yswsv65o8) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"I replaced Uptime Kuma with this powerful tool, and it monitors my Proxmox, Docker, and TrueNAS systems like a pro","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/i-replaced-uptime-kuma-with-this-powerful-tool-and-it-monitors-my-proxmox-docker-and-truenas-syst-yswsv65o8","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/i-replaced-uptime-kuma-with-this-powerful-tool-and-it-monitors-my-proxmox-docker-and-truenas-syst-yswsv65o8"},"datePublished":"2026-07-12T12:31:03.625Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T05:59:44.437Z","description":"Pulse is a comprehensive home lab monitoring tool that replaces the need for multiple utilities like Uptime Kuma and Beszel.
