Restart the Logstash 8.8 configuration without restarting it

Elastic Stack Logstash

Hello,

Is there a way to reload the Logstash 8.8 configuration without restarting it?

Thank you

Yes, this is documented. You can use SIGHUP on UNIX or automatically restart after configuration changes on Windows.

Also, you are running it as a service on Linux you can just add these two lines on logstash.yml

config.reload.automatic: true
config.reload.interval: 30s

This needs a restart to work for the first time, but after that it will check the configuration files and pipelines.yml every 30s and will reload them if any change is detected.
