Auto Reload considered dangerous?

[kenwdelong]

I just wanted to make you aware of another issue that I had with the 2.3.x series. There might be a resource leak in logstash. The issue is tracking here: elastic/logstash#5235.

Once I removed auto-reload from my logstash config, my instance is fine. It's still running with load average 0.1 after 2 days.

Ouch! Thanks for the heads up, will most certainly consider removing it as a default option (users can always enable it voluntarily using the env vars) and/or flagging it in the documentation.

Thanks again – will keep track of the Elasticsearch issue.
