Where do I get the AzureWebJobsDashboard connection string information?

Question

Trying to update my Service Bus apps to use the new RTM and I need this information.

<add name="AzureWebJobsDashboard" connectionString="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=;AccountKey=" />

    <add name="AzureWebJobsStorage" connectionString="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=;AccountKey=" />

Previously I just used the connection string associated with each queue. I have tried about every combination of username and key I have associated with my account with no luck.

• The  AzureWebJobsDashboard connection string is our Azure Storage Account which is used by the Azure SDK to store logs used by the WebJobs dashboard.

• It performs things like trigger when a file is uploaded to blob storage or a message is added to a queue.

• We may not need this though if you are only using Service Bus Queues. If this is the case for us, then we could use the same connection string that we use for the AzureWebJobsDashboard. 

• Generally, two different storage accounts are used by us so that one is used for dashboard logging and another one is used for application functionalities like tables, queues, and blobs.

• The connection string is available in the Azure Management Portal (classic) 

•  click on Storage, select the storage account you want to use, and then click the Manage Access Keys button at the bottom of the page.
