Does httpbeat support dynamic reloading of configuration files? #22

Open rajisankar opened 7 years ago

We use httpbeat to query data from multiple servers. It would be useful to have a feature where the http queries can be added to the httpbeat.yml and Http beat dynamically reloads the new configuration without requiring a restart. All official Elastic beats support this feature.

There is the http module in metricbeat which is a contribution from @christiangalsterer . There you could use the reloading feature: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.0/metricbeat-module-http.html The module is available in 6.0.0-beta1.
