Add Kafka to DataPower log target

Our team uses log target on daily basis for monitoring out services. So far our log target type of choice was syslog. Now we are migrating our logging and monitoring systems, which would involve sending system logs to Kafka Cluster.
With the current DataPower options for log targets we are not able to send system logs to Kafka Cluster, such as network and TLS logs, before the start of the processing policy.
The only way we are able to send logs to Kafka is once the processing of request or response data starts, using processing actions (log target, XSLT, GW script).

    IBM DataPower® 10.6.6 released December 11th, 2025 provides support to create a Kafka log target:

    When you create a log target, you can define the log target to write entries to a request topic on a Kafka cluster. The Kafka log target is a producer. Typically, a Kafka log target is defined in the default domain for consolidated logging. For more information, see Creating a log target to write entries to a Kafka cluster.

    Is there any chance that we get this feature in the near future?
