please add option use filebeat reload prospectors

[lied]

It's possible to configure Filebeat to reload it's prospector config dir with a given frequency

filebeat.config.prospectors:
  path: configs/*.yml
  reload.enabled: true
  reload.period: 10s

This needs to be in the main section of the filebeat.yml config file. More info available here https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/5.6/filebeat-configuration-reloading.html

Sorry I'm just getting a chance to look at this. It's really only become an option at 90c3637

I'm assuming you're setting the purge_conf_purge_dir to false (the default is true), otherwise Puppet will mange the prospectors directory, essentially undoing anything changed outside of Puppet.

I probably won't have time to look at this this week or next, but feel free to submit a PR if you want. I'm thinking of taking the config.prospectors hash as a parameter and merging it with the hash that's formed in config.pp.

I don't have a use case for this so I don't see myself getting around to implementation, but would appreciate a MR if anyone else has the time and need.

Bump too on this one.
