Hi All, This is Shirisha Dasari from Broadcom. We were trying to understand what may be needed to support rsyslog config reload without a restart.
In this regard, we came across this related write-up that outlines the possible steps to achieve the same ( https://rainer.gerhards.net/2011/04/rsyslog-config-reload-random-thoughts.html). >From the rsyslog source code, it does seem like the write-up holds true even today since support for dynamic loading of config without a restart still seems missing in rsyslog. >From what we understand, apart from bringing in a notion of running-config and intended-config (a delta config change), multiple changes may be needed in each supported module to allow it to accept this delta configuration as well. Also, does such a change offer any real benefits over the current implementation is a topic we are trying to understand. I did a quick search in the forum and found http://rsyslog-users.1305293.n2.nabble.com/making-config-changes-to-a-running-rsyslog-td7591667.html that discusses something similar. Please share thoughts on this topic and how this can be achieved. -- Thanks & Regards, Shirisha. -- This electronic communication and the information and any files transmitted with it, or attached to it, are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, legally privileged, protected by privacy laws, or otherwise restricted from disclosure to anyone else.
