Configurable default preferences

[jamesdphillips]

Feature Suggestion

Originally brought up in the Sensu Slack: It would be nice to be able to configure default preferences for the web application. Primarily this would allow the administration to tailor the initial experience for a new user.

Preferences that could be toggled at present: theme, page size, and dark theme.

Possible Implementation

• Configuration would likely need to be cluster wide, so arguably we would want to add a new resource. eg.

  ---
  type: WebConfiguration
  api_version: core/v2
  metadata:
    name: defaults
  spec:
    motd: |
      I don't remember how Lorum Ipsum goes...
    defaults:
      theme: classic
      dark_mode: true
      rows_per_page: 50
  

• Configuration could either be queried during bootstrap or injected into the index.html document.

And configurable default "home" page? I'd love to choose the events view vs the "homepage" (the one with the widgets). Automatically open this view when switching namespaces?
