Note for RC versions

This is a pre-release version for testing. Consider backing up your Pulse configuration before updating.

What's Changed

Critical Fix

• Storage timeout issue - Increased storage API timeout from 15s to 30s to fix missing storage from nodes with many storage backends or higher latency (addresses #448)

Why this fix matters

The previous RC versions reduced the storage timeout to 15 seconds to handle unavailable NFS mounts more gracefully. However, this was too aggressive and caused legitimate storage queries to timeout on nodes with:

• Many storage backends
• Slow storage systems
• High load
• Network latency

This resulted in storage not being displayed for affected nodes and 504 errors when saving thresholds.

Testing v4.15.0-rc.7
