Tip	Rather than completing these steps to configure TLC for all of your Log Sources at once, Tripwire recommends an incremental approach. By completing these steps for one or two types of Log Sources at a time, and then evaluating TLC’s performance and data-storage needs, you can more easily identify and isolate any potential problems.
