 The test-proxy is integrated with the following environment variables.
 
-| Variable | Usage |
-|---|---|
-| `TEST_PROXY_FOLDER` | if command-line argument `storage-location` is not provided when invoking the proxy, this environment variable is also checked for a valid directory to use as test-proxy context. |
-| `Logging__LogLevel__Default` | Defaults to `Information`. Possible valid values are `Information`, `Warning`, `Error`, `Critical`.  |

+| `Logging__LogLevel__Default` | Defaults to `Information`. Possible valid values are <br/><br/>`Debug`, `Information`, `Warning`, `Error`, `Critical`.<br><br>Do not set for .NET test runs as it would cause the tests *themselves* to start emitting logs.|
+| `Logging__LogLevel__Azure.Sdk.Tools.TestProxy`| Set to `Debug` to see request level logs emitted by the Test Proxy.|
 
 Both of the above variables can be set in the `docker` runtime by providing additional arguments EG: `docker run -e Logging__LogLevel__Default=Warning azsdkengsys.azurecr.io/engsys/test-proxy:latest`. For multiple environment variables, just use multiple `-e` provisions.
