Note: Log messages that are received from a log aggregation device are scheduled
transfers, and not real-time messages, because log aggregation devices do not appear in
the Real-time tab. Individual high availability (HA) cluster members also do not appear in
the Real-time tab because HA members are treated as a single device.
