Feature Description

I think it would be great if gitea had a metrics for the number of unread system notices
(web UI path /admin/notices, model https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/models/system/notice.go)

# HELP gitea_system_notices Number of system notices
# TYPE gitea_system_notices gauge
gitea_system_notices 524

It would be even greater if it possible to distinguish between success and error notices. (See NOTICE_ON_SUCCESS settings in https://docs.gitea.com/administration/config-cheat-sheet) e.g.:

# HELP gitea_system_notices Number of system notices
# TYPE gitea_system_notices gauge
gitea_system_notices{type="success"} 123
gitea_system_notices{type="error"}  0

I really like to contribute and can create a PR if you consider this useful.

Just a note: the system notices didn't get much love and may be removed in the future.

Thanks for the information. I thought that adding these metrics would be a rather easy task and a real
benefit for monitoring. Is there any chance to keep the system notices in long term ?
Is there an issue for the removal of system notices ?

Maybe you give me some advice how to monitor gitea system health (task/job errors) with prometheus / grafana ?
The only thing that comes to my mind is processing the logfiles (loki, grok_exporter ...)
