InfraPulse Vision
InfraPulse is a secure, self-hosted monitoring platform for homelabs, small businesses, and internal IT teams.
The v0.1 product should feel like a polished appliance, not a pile of raw monitoring configuration. Users should be guided through adding targets, testing connections, discovering useful items, choosing what to monitor, and separately choosing what should alert.
Design Philosophy
InfraPulse exposes intent, not implementation details.
Raw SNMP OIDs, probe internals, and collector details belong behind friendly profiles and advanced tools. The normal UI should say things like "Port 5 outbound traffic", "Graph this port", and "Alert if port goes down".
Initial Scope
The initial release targets:
- Authentication and roles
- Assets, monitors, alert rules, incidents, credentials, and notification channels
- Website checks for HTTP status, expected text, and TLS expiry
- Dashboard status views
- Mattermost, Zoom Team Chat, email, and generic webhook notifications
- Foundations for guided discovery and plugins
Advanced NMS features such as topology, traps, syslog, NetFlow, distributed pollers, and config backup are future work.
