Hello,  
i have a kafka cluster that use authentication with sasl oauthbearer mecanism (keycloak), i would like to know if filebeat support sasl/oauthbearer.  
I already found that it supports sasl/plain & sasl/scram, what about sasl/oauthbearer ?  
if it doesn't support it, is there another alternative i can use in my case?  
thanks in advance.
