Docs: Questions about refresh interval #87

Open lisaens opened 4 years ago

lisaens commented 4 years ago

The translate filter description says "If you set a refresh_interval of 300 seconds (5 minutes) or less then the modified time of the file is checked before reloading. " Under the description of the refresh_interval setting, it says the default is 300 seconds, but that's all. This is confusing and leaves some questions unanswered.

Will the dictionary file be reloaded if the interval is more than 5 minutes? Will an interval of 1 day or 1 week work? Is the file always reloaded after refresh_interval seconds or only if the modified-time of the file indicates that it has changed since the last refresh time? Does the timer reset if Logstash is restarted?

Plus I'm getting "Unknown setting 'refresh_behavior'" with this version of the plugin.
