Could be possible a online reload of the configuration periodically ? about carbon-c-relay HOT 6 CLOSED

I've implemented the reload config while running. Doing inotify or something would not be that hard, but I wonder if just signalling the daemon to reload its config isn't enough.
I'm working on making the aggregations play nice with a config reload.

thanks for config reload @grobian ! is it good to go if aggregations aren't in use?

from carbon-c-relay.

Yes, that should be, I've tested it with that. The reload causes a small hickup (= connections not being read from for a split-second), but shouldn't lose connections or metrics.

hi @grobian , Thank you very much, is a very good new!

So If I understood . The reload is completely automatic? the daemon itself detect configuration changes? and reloads it by itself?

from carbon-c-relay.

No, you have to tell the daemon to reload by sending it SIGHUP. It will re-open logfiles, and re-load its config. I can look into other ways if this is not sufficient.

I won't implement automatic reload, it's easy enough to SIGHUP the process.
