No, sorry, we don’t have that functionality.

No, the certificates only contain the public keys, not the private keys.

For the moment you will have to use other software to decrypt the 
traffic in pcaps (if you have the pcaps and the keys of the sessions). 
Wireshark has a bit of functionality to do this, for example.
