Dynamic Configuration Reload for app-service-configurable in EdgeX

[janhung1]

Hi EdgeX Team,

I am using app-service-configurable (version 3.1.1) and trying to dynamically update its configuration by modifying key/value pairs in Consul at:http://127.0.0.1:8500/ui/dc1/kv/edgex/v3/app-rules-engine/Writable/Pipeline/Functions

It seems that app-service-configurable detects the updates (logs show configuration updates), but the changes do not take effect immediately. To make the new configuration work, I need to restart the app-service-configurable container.

Is there a way to automatically reload and apply the updated configuration without restarting the container?

Thank you for your help.
