Hello,

I start logstash with command line

> ./bin/logstash -f ./config/std.conf -r --config.reload.interval 2s

when change the config _std.conf_ , logstash cannot reload config automatic , it report error ：

> [2018-05-26T10:24:17,690][ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute action {:id=\>:main, :action\_type=\>LogStash::ConvergeResult::FailedAction, :message=\>"Cannot reload pipeline, because the existing pipeline is not reloadable", :backtrace=\>nil}

I CTRL + C and restart the process with cmd _./bin/logstash -f ./config/std.conf_ ，then try to force it to reload the config by sending a SIGHUP with kill -1 8992，it report error

> [2018-05-26T11:41:54,260][WARN][logstash.runner] SIGHUP received.  
> [2018-05-26T11:41:54,651][ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute action {:id=\>:main, :action\_type=\>LogStash::ConvergeResult::FailedAction, :message=\>"Cannot reload pipeline, because the existing pipeline is not reloadable", :backtrace=\>nil}

Is it Bug？see also [Logstash 6.0 allows starting with the -r flag with plugins that don't support reloading](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/8021)

Stain plugin can not be reloaded so you will need to change to another one.
