Log messages from Log Sources for which a Normalization Rule either a) does not exist, or b) has been disabled (see How does Log-Message Normalization work?).

If enabled, TLC will delete the tlc.log file in the default log file location whenever the TLC Manager service is started.

This region includes the following fields.

To limit the number of tlc.log files retained by TLC, select this option and enter the maximum number of files to be retained in the Archived log files to keep field. For example, if this option is enabled, and the number of tlc.log files matches the specified value, TLC will replace the oldest file when a new file is needed.
