   <param name="TableName" value="testLoggingTable"/>
   <!-- You can either specify a connection string or use the ConnectionStringName property instead -->
   <param name="ConnectionString" value="UseDevelopmentStorage=true"/>
   <!--<param name="ConnectionStringName" value="GlobalConfigurationString" />-->
   <!-- You can specify this to make each LogProperty as separate Column in TableStorage, 
	Default: all Custom Properties were logged into one single field -->
   <param name="PropAsColumn" value="true" />
   <param name="PartitionKeyType" value="LoggerName" />
 </appender>
