The original event is the XML Winlogbeat receives from Windows. To include it set `include_xml: true` in the configuration for the event log. See the example in [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/7.7/configuration-winlogbeat-options.html#\_event\_logs\_include\_xml](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/7.7/configuration-winlogbeat-options.html#_event_logs_include_xml).
