Currently forwarding windows events to logstash 2.3.1and using elasticsearch 2.3.1 . I would like to get index as raw some of the event\_data.param fields (as they could contain reserved characters such as "") .  
How can I proceed ?  
Thanks

You need to update the template/mapping in ES to set that.
