restart vault to apply config changes

[rt]

I am new to using vault. I used Hashicorp template to get vault set up on AWS. I made changes to vault.hcl. How do these configurations get reflected? Is there a way to restart?

backend "consul" {
  address = "consul.service.consul:8500"
  path = "vault/"
}

listener "tcp" {
  address = "0.0.0.0:8200"
  tls_disable = 1
}

Hi Rajesh,

You do indeed need to restart Vault.

Best,

Jeff

Thanks Jeff. I am unable to find restart steps in the documentation. Could you share any leads please?
I referred here > https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/index.html

I tried following steps which seems to pick up the latest config changes. This is brand new env so I kind of played around. I am not sure if it is the best way to restart vault

1. Seal the vault: vault seal
2. Kill the vault process: kill -9 {PID_OF_VAULT}   (SIGKILL may be bad idea but it worked)
3. Unseal the vault: vault unseal

Please correct me if this is not the way to do it.

Hi Rajesh,

SIGKILL is almost never the right way to gracefully restart a process. Vault accepts SIGINT or SIGTERM to shut down gracefully.

Best,

Jeff
