Hi,
I see that [support for API keys in Elasticsearch outputs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/release-notes-7.6.0.html) was provided starting from release 7.6.0.
Do we have similar support added for API keys in Logstash outputs? I don't see it in the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.10/logstash-output.html). So, my understanding is API key support is only available for Elasticsearch output currently. Please confirm
