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.
