Description

What problem are you trying to solve?

I want to send the body content (decoded) lets say to elastic-search or write in to a file.

How should the problem be solved?

I execute the command: linkerd viz tap -n booksapp deploy/webapp -o wide ,and can see the response code and response length.Can it add body print options?

Any alternatives you've considered?

I haven't thought of it yet.
