I had created an index in elastic search,now when i tried to update/change the conf files i.e. I changed the index name but I cannot see a new index being created.Does the elastic search picks up the changes in conf files automatically or we have to manually trigger it. ---

Logstash will notice changes to the configuration and reload the pipelines if you have --config.reload.automatic on the command line. ---
