Is rsyslog able to use gcry with imfile? I've only seen docs for gcry with omfile. If not, are there any suggestions for how to work with ingestion and transport of encrypted files?
Rsyslog does not have any mechanism to decrypt a file on input, I think there are just too many ways that files could be encrypted for that to be something practical for rsyslog to do. In addition, encrypted files are almost all compressed internally, and that means that they aren't written in small chunks, but rather in large chunks, making there be large delays in being able to gather the data.
Having the app log directly to rsyslog or a script to decryupt the file would be far better than trying to teach rsyslog to decrypt all sorts of encryption types.
