<commit_before># Configuration Reload

The system will perform a periodic check on the configuration files, configured
by `configuration-file-refresh-period`, with the default at 5000, in
milliseconds.

Once the configuration file is changed (broker.xml) the following modules will
be reloaded automatically:

- Address Settings
- Security Settings
- Diverts
- Addresses & queues

If using [modulised broker.xml](configuration-index.md#modularising-broker.xml) you need to touch broker.xml for modularised config to reload.
 
This is on-purpose to avoid reload occurring whilst modifying separate modularised parts e.g. address-settings and addressesm that you may want to have updated at the same time but maybe modularised separately.


**Note:**

Deletion of Address's and Queue's, not auto created is controlled by Address Settings

* config-delete-addresses
   * OFF (DEFAULT) - will not remove upon config reload.
   * FORCE - will remove the address and its queues upon config reload, even if messages remains, losing the messages in the address & queues.<commit_msg>NO-JIRA Document reloading when using modularised broker.xml<commit_after># Configuration Reload
