Does filebeat 7.16.0 suport TLS 1.3?

Hi @Nikhitha.
Filebeat 7.16 has been built with [Golang 1.17.2](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/v7.16.0/.go-version). Golang supports TLS 1.3 since [Golang 1.13](https://go.dev/doc/go1.13#tls_1_3).
Is there a specific use case you have in mind?

Hello @Edoardo_Tenani ,
Trying to test if Filebeat supports TLS 1.3, So to do this we need a connection with Logstash. Logstash has input beats plugin which is currently not supporting TLS 1.3 [Beats input plugin | Logstash Reference [8.1] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html#plugins-inputs-beats-tls_max_version), so is there any way I can achieve this.

Have you tried configuring TLS 1.3 even if the documentation says max is 1.2? It may be the documentation is outdated.
I found an [in progress issue](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/10494) for TLS 1.3 support in Logstash and asked clarification there.

This [comment](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/10494#issuecomment-1066621216) confirms that support for TLS 1.3 for beats is not yet available, but expected to land soon:
> for Beats, unfortunately, the [`tls_max_version`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-beats.html#plugins-inputs-beats-tls_max_version) parameter is hard-coded to 1.2 thus it does not adapt to enabling 1.3 despite the underlying Java SSL engine having the support (likely relates to the `cipher_suites` parameter which also needs revisiting). part of this meta issue we plan to look into getting Beats ready for TLS 1.3 - work is done plugin by plugin, hopefully Beats will be completed within the next few weeks.
