We’re excited to announce a new milestone release of Stoxello Pulse, our enterprise-ready monitoring and systems management platform designed for modern Windows environments.
This update focuses on stability, multi-database support, agent reliability, and deployment readiness — bringing Pulse closer to full production rollout capability.
🔧 What’s New in This Release
🗄️ Multi-Database Support (MySQL + SQL Server)
Pulse now officially supports:
- MySQL Server
- Microsoft SQL Server
This gives you flexibility to deploy Pulse in:
- Small business environments using MySQL
- Enterprise environments standardized on SQL Server

Database provider selection is now environment-driven, allowing easier deployment across different infrastructures.
🧠 Improved EF Core Migration Handling
We’ve enhanced migration execution and provider-specific migrations to prevent:
- Pending model change errors
- Migration locking conflicts
- Cross-provider schema mismatches
This improves upgrade reliability and simplifies first-time database initialization.
🖥️ Pulse.Agent Service Enhancements
The Pulse Agent has been improved for production readiness:
- Runs as a Windows Service

This brings Pulse closer to SCCM-style light management capabilities — including:
- Update reporting
- Reboot/shutdown commands
- System state visibility
🔐 Authentication & Login Stability

- Redirect enforcement for unauthenticated users
This improves usability and ensures proper session control across Pulse.Web.
📦 Deployment Readiness Improvements

Pulse is now better aligned with:
