`Password`	`""`	Redis password
`Database`	`0`	Redis database index

      "MaxRetries": 5,
      "BaseRetryDelaySeconds": 10,
      "ExecutionTimeoutSeconds": 120

`MaxParallelJobs`	`10`	Maximum parallel jobs this consumer can run simultaneously. RabbitMQ prefetch count.
`ExecutionTimeoutSeconds`	`3600`	Maximum execution time allowed for jobs in this consumer. If a job exceeds this timeout, it will be cancelled and marked as TimedOut. Default: 1 hour (3600 seconds). Set to 0 or negative value for no timeout (not recommended).
`MaxRetries`	`3`	Maximum number of retry attempts before moving to DLQ. Default: 3 retries. Set to 0 to disable retries (immediate DLQ on failure).
`BaseRetryDelaySeconds`	`5`	Base delay in seconds for exponential backoff retry strategy. Actual delay = BaseRetryDelaySeconds * (2 ^ retryAttempt). Example: BaseRetryDelaySeconds=5 → 5s, 10s, 20s, 40s... Default: 5 seconds.
`LogUserFriendlyLogsViaLogger`	`false`	Determine whether user-friendly logs should be logged via configured IMilvaLogger(ILogger).
