 - **top_metrics_query_max_rows** - max number of rows to fetch from Top N built-in table(100 by default)
 - **backfill_enabled** - turn on/off 1-hour data backfill(by default it is turned off)
 - **cardinality_total_limit** - limit of active series per 24 hours period. If specified, turns on cardinality filtering and handling. If zero or not specified, cardinality is not handled. You can read [this document](cardinality.md) for more information about cardinality handling and filtering.
+- **hide_topn_lockstats_rowrangestartkey** - if true, masks PII (key values) in row_range_start_key label for the "top minute lock stats" metric
 - **projects** - list of GCP projects
     - **project_id** - identifier of GCP project
     - **service_account_key** - path to service account JSON key It is highly recommended to set this property to the correct value. In case it is empty, the [Application Default Credentials](https://google.aip.dev/auth/4110) will be used for the database connection.
