Bug Report

Describe the bug

After configMap change, fluent-bit's pod on running by sidecar not response, its pod is still using the older configuration.

Expected behavior

The pod can sense the configMap change and then automatically use the new configuration.

Your Environment
fluent-bit 1.2, k8s 1.4

Additional context
How do I configure fluent-bit so that the pod can sense the configMap change and then automatically use the new configuration. If i not restart this pod!

It is not related to fluentbit. it is generic k8s problem - kubernetes/kubernetes#22368

[patrick-stephens]

Fluent Bit requires a restart to pick up new config, you can potentially adopt a similar approach to various operators that watch the mounted config map location for changes then restart Fluent Bit internally or just restart the pods directly.
See #365 for discussions in this area.
