Hi all of you,

I would like to know if I need reloading of the config file for elka stack -\> filebeat on one server and kibana, elasticsearch and logstash on onther server.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/reloading-config.html#reloading-config](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/reloading-config.html#reloading-config)

the filebeats ships the logs to logstash and logstash elasticsearch, kibana.

thank you
