Hello,
If I make changes to HOME\_NET & BPF Filter can commands mentioned in [9.3. Rule Reloads — Suricata 7.0.8 documentation](https://docs.suricata.io/en/suricata-7.0.8/rule-management/rule-reload.html) would pick up that change?
And if yes, what kind of log message\command should I check to confirm the change?
[EDIT]
Further information:
- In our environment, we monitor multiple network interfaces along with bpf filter.
- In certain situation, an interface can have frequent IP address change
- That would mean we need to change HOME\_NET AND bpf filter
- Currently we achieve that by restarting suricata
- But we want avoid it if possible
- Is it possible suricata would consider changed bpf filter and HOME\_NET through some other command other than restart?
Thanks in advance!

HOME\_NET yes, bpf no.
