Consul Reload
Command: consul reload
Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [PUT] /v1/agent/reload
The reload
command triggers a reload of configuration files for the agent.
The SIGHUP
signal is usually used to trigger a reload of configurations,
but in some cases it may be more convenient to trigger the CLI instead.
This command operates the same as the signal, meaning that it will trigger a reload, but does not wait for the reload to complete. Any errors with the reload will be present in the agent logs and not in the output of this command.
NOTE
Not all configuration options are reloadable. See the Reloadable Configuration section on the agent options page for details on which options are supported.
The table below shows this command's required ACLs. Configuration of blocking queries and agent caching are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint.
