Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

groups/users to roles can be configured by role_mapping.yaml file, but this requires ES restart to take effect. Is there any API can change group/user to role mapping dynamically.

I'll use ELK5 with x-pack

There is not an API for role mapping yet. We have this API on our roadmap.

No restart is required. The files are monitored by elasticsearch and the changes will be detected and automatically updated.
