Entire trace record will be rejected if payload contains any non-Latin1 character, which leads to missed trace records despite of successful processing of the messages themselves.

Proposed Changes

Tracing is used to monitor message exchange, and it is really unclear why the system works but specific messages are not presented in the trace files.

The entire project works fine with UTF-8 encoded payload, including official Docker images preconfigured to use UTF-8 as a system wide locale, so it is obvious to use UTF-8 encoding by default in the tracing plugin,

Additional options (like drop down list with encodings to use by tracing plugin) were not implemented as it is not tracing plugin feature, but a missing of support in the tracing plugin of the specified encoding, despite it is used by server itself.

No related issues were found.

No unit tests were implemented for this change.
