We are using heartbeat to monitor our k8s service and we are doing this with hints based auto discovery via annotations that we set on a service. I would like to have this service include the response body and I see that this is a config option however I don't see if or how I can configure this via the annotations. Is it possible?

Hi @dfinn

I think Most (if not all) of the [setting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/monitor-http-options.html) will come through I think, but I don't think they are all documented...

I tried this and it worked.

` co.elastic.monitor/response.include_body: "always"`
