I have just started using Node-RED, and am excited to get it to solve some tasks for me.  
I have attempted to connect to Azure IoT Hub, and have succeeded in doing so. But it seems like too much data is being generated, and I can't make out if it Azure or Node-RED is to blame.  
Example: I put a small bit of text into the payload message, and around it, I get something like

Objavro.codecnullavro.schemaÐ{"type":"record","name":"Message","namespace":"Microsoft.Azure.Devices","fields":[{"name":"EnqueuedTimeUtc","type":"string"},{"name":"Properties","type":{"type":"map","values":"string"}},{"name":"SystemProperties","type":{"type":"map","values":"string"}},{"name":"Body","type":["null","bytes"]}]} íñ­$¼Ã”4æz¸‡ù÷úÎ82018-12-12T14:00:05.7170000Z to@/devices/mydeviceid/messages/events$connectionDeviceIdmydeviceid(connectionAuthMethodœ{"scope":"device","type":"sas","issuer":"iothub","acceptingIpFilterRule":null}8connectionDeviceGenerationId$636796069962215298contentEncoding enqueuedTime82018-12-12T14:00:05.7170000Z :

...but is there somewhere I can retrieve the "raw" data in Azure (or set up a rule/function) or something that can be changed in the configuration of Node-RED, which can help with this?

My apologies if this question belongs in an Azure forum and not here.
