Review a new objective without silently rewriting an approved definition.
Practical procedure
- Read the current objective, sources and version and identify what needs to change.
- Pause the old monitor when appropriate, then create and approve a new definition for the revised intent through the supported workflow.
- Establish a new baseline and keep old occurrences associated with the original definition.
Define an evidence-backed Pulse monitor
Pulse monitors track an objective against selected Knowledge sources. A definition records cadence, timezone, source policy, materiality rule and notification mode. Review and approve the exact definition version before running it. An occurrence records a particular run; it is distinct from the monitor definition and from any resulting email delivery.
Contract example
Developer examples below describe routes on an authorized, configured GoCux control-plane base URL. They are request shapes or operation references, not claims that a particular public hostname exposes the API. Use the workspace for the corresponding human workflow; availability and permissions depend on the actual deployment.
Operation reference for this workflow
GET /pulse/monitors/{monitor_id}
POST /pulse/monitors/{monitor_id}/pauseInspect the result
Inspect occurrence state and available evidence before reporting a change. A new or missing source passage can change the support for a value even when the displayed value is unchanged. Notification mode can be none or email; choosing email is not evidence that delivery is configured or that a message reached its recipient.
What to keep explicit
The current route set does not establish a generic PATCH monitor operation. Do not forward an external update payload to a guessed endpoint.
Handle incomplete and refused work
Creation requires at least one unique Knowledge source identifier. Decisions and transitions use explicit version checks and Idempotency-Key. A stale definition or a monitor that is not active can return 409. A 503 is unavailable monitor storage or materialization, not a statement that nothing changed. Pause or archive intentionally when the monitoring objective ends.
