I am sure that the configurations I am looking at need a restart(tags.conf,props.conf,transform.conf). I am just wondering as making changes through web interface needs no restart, is that the case with REST API.</P> Thu, 20 Sep 2012 00:42:23 GMT mohankesireddy 2012-09-20T00:42:23Z Does Splunk needs a restart for changes made through Rest API https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Does-Splunk-needs-a-restart-for-changes-made-through-Rest-API/m-p/65391#M2243 <P>Do we need to restart the splunk to load the changes made to configuration files through the Rest API. </P> Wed, 19 Sep 2012 21:09:55 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Does-Splunk-needs-a-restart-for-changes-made-through-Rest-API/m-p/65391#M2243 mohankesireddy 2012-09-19T21:09:55Z Re: Does Splunk needs a restart for changes made through Rest API https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Does-Splunk-needs-a-restart-for-changes-made-through-Rest-API/m-p/65392#M2244 <P>Many (but not all) changes to configuration files require a restart; I don't think it matters whether you are making those changes through the REST API, Manager, or editing the .conf files directly. You should check the configuration file or its reference topic in the Admin Manual to see whether a particular change requires a restart (see <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Howyoucanconfigure#Restarting_after_configuration_changes">Restarting after configuration changes</A> in the Admin Manual.</P> Wed, 19 Sep 2012 21:32:53 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Does-Splunk-needs-a-restart-for-changes-made-through-Rest-API/m-p/65392#M2244 ChrisG 2012-09-19T21:32:53Z Re: Does Splunk needs a restart for changes made through Rest API https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Does-Splunk-needs-a-restart-for-changes-made-through-Rest-API/m-p/65393#M2245 <P>Thanks Chris for the response.
