We have deployed logstash in kubernetes platform. For one usecase we want to update queue.page\_capacity: 64mb to 1mb.  
So if we update these changes it can't be reloaded until restart. So is there any way so that this can be update without any restart.  
Could you please help us in this usecase?

No, changes on `logstash.yml` requires a restart.

However, if you are using `pipelines.yml` you can configure the queue settings on it, and changes on `pipelines.yml` will be reloaded if logstash is configured to auto-reload settings.

It depends on how you configured it, please share your `logstash.yml` and `pipelines.yml`.
