    Allow setting of environment variable (e.g. PSORT_DBTEMP) in AUS.

    Sometimes tables are too big that the allocated temporary dbspaces are not enough and AUS fails updating statistics in high mode. The temporary dbspaces are sufficient under normal use so adding more space to temporary dspaces is not ideal.

    Create an Informix-HQ sensor that populates an historical data table with the slowest/heaviest queries on an instance.

    SQLTRACE has proved been a valuable resource to identify slow/heavy queries. An even sysadmin may store a history of the SQLTRACE output, it would be great to have a filter for the heaviest/slowest queries, and store them as a sensor of Informix-HQ.
