debug=[0,9] Specifies the level of debug with 0 being no debug and 9 being the highest level of debug.

When the debug level is at its maximum, locally generated disk file at restore will not be deleted. This parameter is optional. The default value is 0.

tenant = tenant_id
appId = application_id
password = application_secret
displayName = Does not correspond to any of the plugin parameter
