Hi everyone,

New to ELK so will do my best to explain.

We're using the JDBC input plugin and recently changed the MySQL server the conf file refers to in the connection string. However I wanted to confirm what steps are needed to then see those changes reflected on Kibana.

Is it just a case of rebooting Elastic/Kibana or can anyone advice steps to take for the new connection to update?

Thanks!
