Description
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.

Research direction
Start in packages/app/src/DBSearchPage.tsx, especially the DEFAULT_REFRESH_FREQUENCY definition and the live-tail behavior. Trace how frontend environment variables are read, then add overrides for the default live-tail state and refresh frequency. Done means both settings can be controlled through environment variables while preserving the existing defaults when they are absent.
