These features are enhanced reliability, support for additional log sources such as CheckPoint LEA, NetFlow and SNMP events, agent management and monitoring capabilities, remote Windows EventLog collection, ODBC input and output modules to read/write data into databases (e.g. Microsoft SQL Server) and many more.

Considering replacing rsyslog with nxlog just because I can read the config...

If Snare’s your butter knife, nxlog is your Swiss Army Knife. With multi-platform support and a gigantor feature list, nxlog is likely to be your next step when you run into some of the limitations of Snare and other simple forwarders. Capturing data from more locations than event logs? Check! Secure transport? Of course! Without question there’s more of a learning curve, but for most organizations serious about log collection on windows (and other platforms!), it’s well worth the time investment. https://opsbot.com/windows-first-class-centralized-logging-citizen/
