Ok, thanks for your reply. Maybe heka could also support reloading its configuration without any restart, that would be another way to achieve the same thing. That way, we won't depend on an external tool (Circus) for this feature to be implemented. I've just came accross the following existing issue on github which address the same need: https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka/issues/38
