I have generated an event by installing an msi from the web using msiexec command.
And when i checked the event viewer, there was a event generated, with the url inside event data.
My NXLog config for this windows-10 system is as follows:
Panic Soft
#NoFreeOnExit TRUE
define ROOT C:\Program Files\nxlog
define CERTDIR %ROOT%\cert
define CONFDIR %ROOT%\conf\nxlog.d
define LOGDIR %ROOT%\data
include %CONFDIR%\\*.conf
define LOGFILE %LOGDIR%\nxlog.log
LogFile %LOGFILE%
Moduledir %ROOT%\modules
CacheDir %ROOT%\data
Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid
SpoolDir %ROOT%\data

in place of rsyslog-ip, i have put the ip of rsyslog server.
I am not getting any log in rsyslog server, which has this url('https://www.exemsi').

the configuration of rsyslog is as follows:
# /etc/rsyslog.conf configuration file for rsyslog
#
# For more information install rsyslog-doc and see
# /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-doc/html/configuration/index.html

PS: i am using a windows-10 vm inside a ubuntu-22.04 system.
I have tried to search via command line in rsyslog server, but i am not getting any log having 'https://www'. I want to have this url in the logs.
