The timeout occurred due to a server error. AuthenticationError: The request couldn't be authenticated by the server. AuthorizationError: Authenticated request that failed due to unauthorized access of data or an authorization failure. NetworkError: Authenticated request that failed due to network errors. Most commonly occurs when a client prematurely closes a connection before timeout expiration. ClientAccountBandwidthThrottlingError: The request is throttled on bandwidth for exceeding storage account scalability limits. ClientAccountRequestThrottlingError: The request is throttled on request rate for exceeding storage account scalability limits. ClientThrottlingError: Other client-side throttling error. `ClientAccountBandwidthThrottlingError` and `ClientAccountRequestThrottlingError` are excluded.

responseHeaderSize	The size of the response header expressed in bytes. For example: `216`. If a request is unsuccessful, this value might be empty.
responseBodySize	The size of the response packets written by the storage service, in bytes. If a request is unsuccessful, this value may be empty. For example: `216`.
requestMd5	The value of either the Content-MD5 header or the x-ms-content-md5 header in the request. The MD5 hash value specified in this field represents the content in the request. For example: `788815fd0198be0d275ad329cafd1830`. This field can be empty.
serverMd5	The value of the MD5 hash calculated by the storage service. For example: `3228b3cf1069a5489b298446321f8521`. This field can be empty.
lastModifiedTime	The Last Modified Time (LMT) for the returned object. For example: `Tuesday, 09-Aug-11 21:13:26 GMT`. This field is empty for operations that can return multiple objects.
conditionsUsed	A semicolon-separated list of key-value pairs that represent a condition. The conditions can be any of the following: If-Modified-Since If-Unmodified-Since If-Match If-None-Match For example: `If-Modified-Since=Friday, 05-Aug-11 19:11:54 GMT`.
contentLengthHeader	The value of the Content-Length header for the request sent to the storage service. If the request was successful, this value is equal to requestBodySize. If a request is unsuccessful, this value may not be equal to requestBodySize, or it might be empty.
tlsVersion	The TLS version used in the connection of request. For example: `TLS 1.2`.
smbTreeConnectID	The Server Message Block (SMB) treeConnectId established at tree connect time. For example: `0x3`
smbPersistentHandleID	Persistent handle ID from an SMB2 CREATE request that survives network reconnects. Referenced in MS-SMB2 2.2.14.1 as SMB2_FILEID.Persistent. For example: `0x6003f`
smbVolatileHandleID	Volatile handle ID from an SMB2 CREATE request that is recycled on network reconnects. Referenced in MS-SMB2 2.2.14.1 as SMB2_FILEID.Volatile. For example: `0xFFFFFFFF00000065`
smbMessageID	The connection relative MessageId. For example: `0x3b165`
smbCreditsConsumed	The ingress or egress consumed by the request, in units of 64k. For example: `0x3`
smbCommandDetail	More information about this specific request rather than the general type of request. For example: `0x2000 bytes at offset 0xf2000`
smbFileId	The FileId associated with the file or directory. Roughly analogous to an NTFS FileId. For example: `0x9223442405598953`
smbSessionID	The SMB2 SessionId established at session setup time. For example: `0x8530280128000049`
smbCommandMajor uint32	Value in the SMB2_HEADER.Command. Currently, this is a number between 0 and 18 inclusive. For example: `0x6`
smbCommandMinor	The subclass of SmbCommandMajor, where appropriate. For example: `DirectoryCloseAndDelete`
accessTier	The access tier of an existing blob when an operation such as `GetBlob` or `GetBlobProperties` is used (for example: `Hot`). Can also be the access tier provided in the `x-ms-access-tier` header for operations such as `SetBlobTier`, `PutBlob`, `PutBlockList`, or `CopyBlob`.
sourceAccessTier	The access tier of the source blob of a copy operation (for example: `Hot`).
rehydrationPriority	The priority used to rehydrate an archived blob (for example: `High` or `Standard`).
downloadRange	Indicates that only a part of the blob (the specified byte range) was requested and transferred. For example, if the value of `downloadRange` field is `bytes=0-1023`, then the request retrieved the first `1024` bytes of the blob (from byte offset 0 to 1023).
