provide the `ps -auxww` information for each node

Now Instana lists up the top process for each Linux nodes.  

But sometimes we need the output of `ps auxww` information of the node.  

If collecting and recording the historical output of  `ps auxww` in the backend is too much data volume, provide the button to capture the snapshot of  `ps auxww` at that timing.

    Hi @Guest

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    After reviewing this request we came to a conclusion that it is not possible to provide a button on Instana UI because as per current Instana design there is no way to communicate the button click to the sensors. What we can do is to provide a configuration on the config.yaml file. But before finalizing any possible solution we would like to know the usecase and at what interval these details need to be captured. etc.

    I'm looking forward to your response. Once I can develop a clear picture of your request, I'll be able to let you know if we can add your idea to our future offering roadmap.
