FluentD Config Change

[Bhavik Patel]

Hi,

I could have tested it but I though it would be good to get the views on the topic, we are using containerized environment  and all applications write logs to /var/log/APP_NAME directory on the host machine which  is in turn being sensed by FluentD.As each application is using different log format, we will need that in the td-agent.conf file in order to properly parse the log messages, so I was thinking the approach where we update the td-agent.conf file as new applications are deployed, but I was wondering after updating conf file do I need to restart FluentD instance or it will auto pick the changes?

Thanks,

Bhavik

You need to restart fluentd. Fluentd doesn't provide auto-reload feature because

many deploy tools can handle such actions.

This says it does what you want. I have not tried it.
