== Reload the configuration dynamically
|

|
You can configure {beatname_uc} to dynamically reload configuration files when
|
|
there are changes. To do this, you specify a path
|
|
(https://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath/#Glob[glob]) to watch for module
|
|
configuration changes. When the files found by the glob change, new modules are
|
|
started/stopped according to changes in the configuration files.
|
|
|
|
To enable dynamic config reloading, you specify the `path` and `reload` options
|
|
in the main +{beatname_lc}.yml+ config file. For example:
|
|
|
|
["source","sh"]
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
auditbeat.config.modules:
|
|
path: ${path.config}/conf.d/*.yml
|
|
reload.enabled: true
|
|
reload.period: 10s
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
*`path`*:: A glob that defines the files to check for changes.
|
|
|
|
*`reload.enabled`*:: When set to `true`, enables dynamic config reload.
|
|
|
|
*`reload.period`*:: Specifies how often the files are checked for changes. Do not
|
|
set the `period` to less than 1s because the modification time of files is often
|
|
stored in seconds. Setting the `period` to less than 1s will result in
|
|
unnecessary overhead.
|
|
|
|
Each file found by the glob must contain a list of one or more module
|
|
definitions. For example:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
- module: file_integrity
|
|
paths:
|
|
- /www/wordpress
|
|
- /www/wordpress/wp-admin
|
|
- /www/wordpress/wp-content
|
|
- /www/wordpress/wp-includes
|
|

NOTE: On systems with POSIX file permissions, all Beats configuration files are
|
|
subject to ownership and file permission checks. If you encounter config loading
|
|
errors related to file ownership, see {libbeat}/config-file-permissions.html.
