Enable Export of Events Tab Data to CSV or Provide API Query Builder

Instana's Events tab provides valuable insights into application and infrastructure behavior, but currently lacks a straightforward way to export this data for external analysis.

I propose adding one or both of the following features:

  1. CSV Export Button: Allow users to export the filtered events view directly to a CSV file, similar to how data can be exported in the Analytics tab.

  2. API Query Builder: Provide a visible and copyable API query (like in the Analytics tab) that reflects the current filters and time range applied in the Events tab. This would enable users to retrieve the same data programmatically for use in external tools such as Excel, Power BI, or custom dashboards.

This would greatly improve usability and integration with external analysis workflows.
