Ability to "watch" an object and be alerted to changes #15621
Description
NetBox version
v3.7.4
Feature type
New functionality
Proposed functionality
Provide the ability for a user to designate specific objects and receive notifications of any changes to those objects. Users should see a notification icon in the top right corner of the page when a new notification is present.
The notifications mechanism could piggyback off of the change log. Users should be able to designate specific objects as well as defining rules to match discrete sets of objects (e.g. "all devices in site A with role B").
Use case
Users may often desire to be alerted to specific types of changes in NetBox, such as when preparing for planned work or when informed of an ongoing issue.
Database changes
A new model would likely be required to define notification rules and associate them with a particular user (or group?). The rule format would likely mimic the one used to define permission constraints.
