Options

Option	Description
`enabled`	Boolean Enables the Breadcrumbs feature.
`opt_mode`	Boolean Specifies whether to include Breadcrumbs data in the response header. To bypass the current `opt_mode` append the opposite `ak-bc` query string to each request from your player.
`logging_enabled`	Boolean Whether to collect all Breadcrumbs data in logs, including the response headers sent a requesting client. This can also be helpful if you're using DataStream 2 to retrieve log data. This way, all breadcrumbs data is carried in the logs it uses.
