Compatibility with linux servers

[Laurent-Tygreat]

Hi,

Just discovered this awesome tool, great work !
It would be so great to add the possiblity to monitor linux servers like debian to retrieve also uptime/OS version etc ..

Thank you !

I second this. For the developer: would it be difficult to create a monitoring agent for debian servers/pcs that could report back stats to pulse? I'm sure it would be very difficult for windows and perhaps also for non-debian installs, but I'd hope less so for debian systems such as TrueNAS or debian servers/desktops. I'd hugely use this feature if so offered.

Great work. Pulse is absolutely excellent and highly appreciated. Thank you.

This is coming in the next release (v4.26.0). The pulse-host-agent will monitor Linux hosts including Debian, reporting OS name/version, kernel, uptime, CPU model/count/load, memory totals/usage, disk capacity, and network interface counters.

You can test it now by installing from the main branch:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcourtman/Pulse/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --source

Once v4.26.0 is released, installation will be available via Settings → Agents → Host agents, and hosts will appear in the Servers tab. Documentation: docs/HOST_AGENT.md

Wonderful news! Thank you, rcourtman, both for taking the time to answer my question as well as for continuing to make an excellent utility even more useful.
