Create New Index in Kibana without restarting logstash (5.6.2)

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi,

I need to ask a very basic question. Whenever I update my logsatash configuration file, I restart it to get the changes reflected in Kibana. For example, when I add new index in logstash.conf file to read some new logs.

Is it possible that I introduce changes in logstash.conf and I will not have to restart it to get my chnges reflected in Kibana?

I tried but my index is not created in Kibana. Any other way of doing it because when this runs in production environment , it may not be possible to restart the services.

Thanks,
