[Feature Request] Be able to override Live Tail config via env vars #1788

Open

Description

@vinzee

Currently the Hyperdx app always defaults to live-tailing which may be undesirable as it incurs more requests.

It would be nice to be able to disable live-tailing by default and instead have the end-user manually enable it when required. This could be toggled by an env var: LIVE_TAIL_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT: true/false.

Also it would be nice to have the DEFAULT_REFRESH_FREQUENCY overridable using an env var.

    @MikeShi42 I feel that this is a feature required by many folks (saw it across four GH issues), and at the very least we should have a default refresh interval that can be overridden.
