to kill the process or restart Apache which also ends the process to make the web interface reflect the current configuration file. I’m talking specifically about the web interface and not the daemon. There is no problem with that piece. I just never had this

Is it just expected that after each change you will kill the old process to get the web interface to reflect the changes that the daemon is already aware of? Is the smokeping supposed to kill the old web process on reload? I never had this issue with SpeedyCGI
in 2.4.2 and earlier.<o:p></o:p></p>
