| Verbosity | The verbosity level that determines the amount of detail included in the log file. |
| LogModules | Core modules to be included in the log file. |
| MaxLogFileSize | A string specifying the maximum size in bytes for a log file (for example, 10 MB). |

| Property | Description |
| Location | A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures. |
| BrowsableSchemas | This property restricts the schemas reported to a subset of the available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC. |
| Tables | This property restricts the tables reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC. |
| Views | Restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC. |
