For management reasons I need to ask: Is it possible to send the raw windows log (xml or text uncooked) via winlogbeat?
Thanks

Yes. Please see `include_xml: true` in [Configure Winlogbeat | Winlogbeat Reference [8.9] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/current/configuration-winlogbeat-options.html#_event_logs_include_xml).
