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
