Extend PluginTemplateExtension to render custom alerts for objects #16776
Description
NetBox version
v4.0.6
Feature type
New functionality
Proposed functionality
Add a new render_alerts() method on PluginTemplateExtension, which returns an iterable of alerts to be displayed at the top of the page when viewing an object. Each item in the iterable will be a two-tuple containing the message content and classification (e.g. info, warning, etc.).
Use case
This will enable a plugin to embed arbitrary notes or alerts pertaining to specific objects within NetBox. For example, it might be used by a plugin to indicate that a certain object is out of sync with external data or that some action is required to rectify a problem.
