Hello! 1. Is it possible to reload Kibana/Elasricsearch server automatically when their yml files are changed? 2. If I want to ELK stack on CentOS, is it recommended to use tar.gz version or from CentOS repository? Which one is more recommended? ---

It is not, no. There's security concerns with this approach which is we force a restart, so that's it's a visible and conscious action. I would always use the relevant packages for an OS rather than a generic tar.gz/zip. The packages include things like init scripts, and make sure things are laid out as per the OS conventions. ---
