Configuration Files

From OpenNMS

This page shows, as of version 1.3.7, which configuration files (in $OPENNMS_HOME/etc/) require a restart for changes to take effect. If you are on 1.6.x and newer see the table at the bottom of the page Files with an associated_event that can trigger a re-read of the configuration.

Unfortunally there is another page in the wiki describing this: Configuration_File_Index , both pages should be merged!

Files with an associated event that can trigger a re-read of the configuration

The table includes also events available since version 1.6.1
Check your $OPENNMS_HOME/etc/eventconf.xml for uei's containing ConfigChange or reload to see which ones are available with your installed opennms version.

Use $OPENNMS_HOME/bin/send-event.pl uei on your opennms server to send one of those events.
