Config plugin in go-audit about go-audit HOT 1 CLOSED

I have a few thoughts:

• Restarting go-audit is generally a fast operation and has been good enough for us and others in the past when dealing with config change.
• You could tweak active audit rules using auditctl directly without restarting go-audit or changing go-audits configuration
• go-audit uses viper for config parsing and has a way to watch config files for change. Reloading the active rules would be fairly simple but a fully supported graceful reload would be more difficult and restarting is already pretty fast.
• viper can read configuration from remote key/value stores like consul or etcd. We could expose that type of configuration source via the config file but the above problem would remain.

Can you tell me a bit more about your use case and if any of these thoughts may help you solve some problems?
