Description
I know the name is not popular so will have a better name
Essentially some form of centralised repository to hold warnings raised by subsystems as a server boots.
Management operations would be provided to query the current warnings.
As administrators undertake actions to correct a warning it will be dynamically removed by the subsystem that reported it.
This is not about persistent warnings i.e. the subsystem should raise the warning on every boot and stop raising it if it is no longer relevant.
e.g. SSL not enabled, warn every time the server starts until it is enabled.
Warnings will be associated with a severity level and administrative tooling can decide how pro-actively to display the warning, e.g. the console may pop up immediately for a critical warning or use an icon to indicate the presence of a lesser warning.
