I use the bin/logstash -f sys.conf --config.reload.automatic run the logstash,The first time is normal operation，However, after I change the configuration file, logstash will report an error when reloading.

```
[ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute action {:id=>:main, :action_type=>LogStash::ConvergeResult::FailedAction, :message=>"Cannot reload pipeline, because the new pipeline is not reloadable", :backtrace=>nil}
```

I don't think all plugins support reloads. You're probably using one that doesn't support it.

Logstash can sometimes reload the configuration file, but it is good or bad, I don’t know where the problem is.
