Hello, I have two questions.

First, a latest nxlog-ce formally supports Windows Server 2016 ? I saw the following url, and now it seems to support the Windows Server 2016.

https://nxlog.co/documentation/nxlog-user-guide/platforms.html

Second, the eventlog source limitation on Windows Server 2016 (the OS have over 256 sources, but the nxlog could treat up to 256 sources) is solved ? I saw the following forum questions.

Hello,

Yes, Windows 2016 is supported.

The 256 limitation is still on the roadmap to be fixed in the CE version. The CE version is a volunteer effort, as such there is no ETA.
This limitation was fixed in the EE version. Depending on how important this is to your organization , you could split the source channels like suggested in the links.
NXLog EE is also available as a trial, if you would like to see if EE will work for you.

Thank you,
Jesse
