About the Pulse Agent

The Pulse Agent is dedicated high-performance, low-signature software that provides the Pulse platform with all the metrics it needs to deliver insights and alerts for your clusters.

Security and data protection are priorities for us! The Pulse Agent sends metrics only, never anything more than that. Under no circumstances does it send actual data stored on your platforms.

Installing the Pulse Agent​

To get started, head over to your cluster type. You can choose from the following:

Next, you will choose the appropriate authentication method to ensure secure access to the system. Afterward, you will select the environment in which you'd like to deploy the Pulse Agent.

The documentation for each cluster type includes commonly-used options.

For advanced configuration and fine-tuning options, visit the Advanced Adjustments page.

To jump-start the process, we recommend using the Integration Wizard available on the Pulse homepage.

Note: Pulse Agent requires connection to the monitored services, as well as to https://pulse.support/ to send monitoring data. Make sure the machine on which the agent is installed has network access to both.
