Kafka ouput with SASL_SSL authentication

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hello,

I need to send logs with filebeat to a Kafka broker where I am not administrator.
This broker has SSL and authentication enabled and I failed to configure filebeat to connect to it properly.
Our Kafka administrator told me, that the broker uses SASL_SSL mode but this doesn't seem to be supported by the Beats Kafka output.

Is there any plan in the near future to support this?

Thanks.
Ronan

Could you please open an issue in github for this feature request? This would be indeed a nice addition.

Thanks!
