Description

I got to know that Hue has a simple, but really cool feature: it can show a custom HTML banner on the top of the Hue UI. Implementing a similar feature in Knox can help end-users to:

1. Share a message of the day like hints, tips, or planned outages.
2. Identify the cluster (e.g. Prod/Test/Dev) in case the URL is not clear enough.

An additional improvement would be identifying which Knox gateway is in use, in case of HA deployments and if it's behind a load balancer, which can help with troubleshooting. This information fits perfectly into the existing General Proxy Information section on the Knox home page; we just need to add this new information as a new row in the table.
