2.4.1 is over 2 years old at this point, You should be on 2.5.x, or minimally, 2.4.2

Hi All,
We are trying to use bro to monitor http messages on a wire. We are getting very coarse logs and wonder how can we increase verbosity to see all the parsed message details in the log.

Bro version is 2.4.1

Here are some example  messages we get;
