  1. Add the next lines to user.properties file (lives in JMeter's "bin" folder):

    jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.samplerData=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.requestHeaders=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.url=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.responseHeaders=true
  2. Restart JMeter to pick the properties up

  3. Run your test in command-line non-GUI mode like:

    jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
  4. Once your test is finished open JMeter GUI, add View Results Tree listener, locate result.jtl file using "Browse" button - you should see requests and responses details.

References:

Remember that storing request and especially response data causes massive Disk IO overhead so don't forget to remove the aforementioned lines once you won't be needing verbose information anymore.
