»/sys/config/reload

The sys/config/reload endpoint allows reloading specific parts of Vault's configuration. Currently, it only supports reloading license information from files on disk.

MethodPath
POST/sys/config/reload/:subsystem

»Parameters

  • subsystem (string: <required>) - Specifies the subsystem for Vault to reload. This is part of the request URL.

»Reload License File

Enterprise Only – This endpoint requires Vault Enterprise.

When the :subsystem URL parameter is specified as license, Vault re-reads the license file if the license was provided using the license_path configuration option or the VAULT_LICENSE_PATH environment variable. The updated license is applied to Vault, and Vault will then enable/disable licensed features if the features of the given license are different from those of the license Vault is currently using.
