Hello,

How are you running logstash? As a service?

Please share your logstash.yml file.

3 
path.data: /var/lib/logstash
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.hosts: ["outhostlist"]
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.username: "test"
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.password: "test"
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.ssl.certificate_authority: "/etc/logstash/certs/CA-ADMIN.pem"
xpack.monitoring.enabled: true
pipeline.workers: 2
config.reload.automatic: true
config.reload.interval: 3s
pipeline.ecs_compatibility: disabled

path.logs: /var/log/logstash

here it is

we are running as service

Yeah, this is the correct configuration.

With these:

config.reload.automatic: true
config.reload.interval: 3s

Logstash should reload the configurations when pipelines.yml or any pipeline configuration is changed.

What did you change? Are you using persistent queues? Some pipelines may take a long time to reload.

Can you share your logstash logs near the time you made any change? Or maybe do a simple change in one pipeline to get fresh logs.

Yes we are using persistant queues

any changes in the logstash config files not getting picked unless restart

not any relevant logs in logstash logs

Please share the logs you got after you made any change.

There is no error in the configuration, so it should work, without the logs is not possible to know what may be happening.
