Can outputs.conf be reloaded without restarting splunk

[kbecker]

Is there a rest or sysinternal command that can be executed that will reload outputs.conf.

try this endpoint on the instance
https://localhost:8089/services/configs/conf-outputs/_reload

[twinspop]

Don't forget to use the POST method:

curl -ku admin https://localhost:8089/services/configs/conf-outputs/_reload -X POST

I don't think so. Whenever you edit a .conf file directly you need to restart splunk in order to read the changes.

not always true. props/transforms edits that deal with search-time EXTRACT/REPORT can be reloaded with

| extract reload=t
