Home

The Home page is the landing page of fsPulse. It answers the most important question at a glance: “Is my data safe?”

Root Health Summary

The centerpiece of the Home page is the root health summary, which shows the status of every monitored directory:

• Root path — The directory being monitored
• Last scan time — When the root was last scanned, with staleness indicators for roots that haven’t been scanned recently
• Open alerts — Count of unresolved alerts (highlighted when non-zero)
• Last scan outcome — Whether the most recent scan completed successfully, stopped, or errored

If all roots show recent scans with zero alerts, you know your data is healthy. If a root shows open alerts, you know to investigate further.

Each root row is clickable — clicking navigates to the Browse page for that root.

When no roots have been configured, the Home page shows a welcome message with a link to the Roots page to add your first root.

Active Task

When a scan or other task is running, the Home page displays a progress card showing:

• Task type and target root
• Current phase (Scanning, Sweeping, Analyzing Files, Analyzing Scan)
• Real-time statistics — files and folders processed, items hashed, items validated
• Progress indicator

Progress updates are delivered in real time via WebSocket. When no task is running, the card shows an idle state with a button to initiate a scan.

Upcoming Tasks

A table shows tasks queued for execution, typically generated from schedules:

• Task type and target root
• Scheduled run time
• Source schedule

Tasks execute sequentially — only one task runs at a time.

Recent Activity

A compact summary of recent scan and task activity, showing the last several completed operations with their outcomes. For the full activity log, click the View All link to navigate to the History page.

Scan Now

Click the scan button on the active task card to initiate a scan. You’ll select:

• Which root to scan
• Hashing mode (None, Hash changed items, Hash all items)
• Validation mode (None, Validate changed items, Validate all items)

Pause / Resume

fsPulse supports pausing all task execution. When paused:

• A banner appears showing how long tasks have been paused and when the pause will expire (if a duration was set)
• No new tasks will start until resumed
• You can edit the pause duration or resume immediately

This is useful when you want to temporarily prevent scans from running (for example, during a backup window or heavy system load).
