Need a way for custom action on one VM

[Egorkat]

Hi, I'm new in Pulse, found it via ChatGPT advice. It's very well designed to work with my home ProxMox and Docker host on it.
Setup and onboarding was very easy, all VMs and LXC containers were discovered, Telegram notifications were setup in a minute.
However I struggle to get one custom action for one VM, if it has high CPU usage for last 5 minutes, it needs to be restarted.
In Pulse 4.25.0 UI I can't figure out how to do that. Is this possible?

Nope, it's an alerting system.
It can't do something like that.

Maybe you can set something up so that when an alert for that VM is sent to a notification provider, it will do an action.
But perhaps look into why the CPU load is high and fix that.

If it's a web server, you can better block the bots or something; a CPU load should not just go up for no reason.

So there is no way to set a custom notification webhook for a given metric, only to alter metric's threshold?
That VM is Home Assistant OS with an old and strange issue - sometimes it's audio plugin goes wild and starts consuming cpu. For now a restart is best solution.

You can try something with a webhook, but you need to make it yourself. And as far as I see, there is no delay option.
So I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Home Assistant can be tricky, and I do know about the memory leak.
But a full reboot after an update has solved that problem and will let the HA VM run like normal.
Have not heard of an audio plug-in that goes wild. But I might have been lucky not to encounter it.

Now that I'm thinking about it.
You might want to consider using Grafana and the On-Call plugin for your need.
You can easily import PVE data and set up custom alerts and notifications (including with a delay).
Maybe you can make it do the restart for you as well.
Just a thought.

Thank you for the advice! I really like Pulse for it's look and feel.
Will try Grafana also
