Hello,

winlogbeat 1.3 is installed and successful send event log directly to elastic on port 9200. Index is created in Kibana and I can see fields related to winlogbeat except all the "event\_data fields.\*" !

Those fields are not present in Winlogbeat 1.x. That data/feature was added in Winlogbeat 5.x.

Does Winlogbeat 5.x is compatible with Elasticsearch 2.3.x ?  
If yes, can I upgrade from Winlogbeat 1.3 to 5.x ?

Yes, we include an index template that is compatible with ES 2.x.

There are some minor changes in the configuration files. I recommend you see the upgrade guide. There will be some minor config file changes and you will need to install and updated index template.
