What changes to Splunk configuration files require a restart of Splunk to take effect?
Is there a list or table somewhere that lists the changes that require restart? Why do some changes require restart, but other changes don't?
This has been part of the Splunk Enterprise Docs starting with the 6.0 (Oct 1, 2013) two years after the question 🙂
