When are enrichment tables reloaded?

[codersaur]

If a file referenced by an enrichment table changes, is the change automatically detected and the contents reloaded, or does vector need to be restarted? I ask as I don't see any log events emitted to indicate that changes to an enrichment table have been detected, despite using VECTOR_WATCH_CONFIG=true.

Also, does it make a difference if enrichment table files are stored in the VECTOR_CONFIG_DIR or elsewhere?

Vector needs to be restarted or reloaded to pick up changes to enrichment tables. Ideally VECTOR_WATCH_CONFIG=true would work too, but this is an outstanding enhancement.
