Tracking and alerts needed to identify process, user, and user actions causing many large temporary files

It is requested that features be added to determine the root cause of temporary file creation, such as

1) Logging be added to enable tracing of the root cause when an large number of temporary files are detected. This should identify the user, user action, and process which is creating the temporary files. If possible this should be done without flooding the log with messages

2) Rename the temporary file folders to identify which code is creating the generated files

3) Raise an alert when temporary space is over some threshold.

    There are no specific plans to identify and track temporary file creation in the next 18-24 months so the RFE is being closed.
