Content pack auto load only works if the content pack has not been installed yet

bernd commented 9 years ago

Content packs that are listed in the content_packs_auto_load config option are only applied automatically if the content pack has not been installed yet.

If the user decides to enable the auto load of a content pack at a later point, it does not work because it will be skipped.

Unfortunately that's not as easy as it sounds as there are lots of corner cases to handle:

File containing the content pack has changed on disk (SHA-256 check sum changed) → should we apply the already loaded but probably different content pack?
File containing the content pack hasn't changed, content pack has already been loaded but changed in Graylog itself → should we the apply the different content pack?
File containing the content pack hasn't changed, content pack has already been loaded and applied in Graylog → should we apply the already applied content pack?

Additionally the mapping from filename → content pack ID isn't stored at the moment and would have to be added before this feature can work.

If we cannot fix this in a sane way, we should at least document it.

This doesn't apply to the new content pack system anymore.
