Hi all,
  I am trying to figure out if it is possible to update the number of nodes running Zeek on a cluster configuration without restarting it. This could be a possible way to cope with increasing network traffic occuring in certain periods during a day or certain days when trafficic is expected to peak. However, restarting Zeek would cause a possible loss of data and I would rather avoid it.

As far as I understand, I can update the node.cfg file, for example with new workers, and run the deploy command in broctl to update the configuration. But this will stop and restart the workers for a short time. Is there a way to avoid it? I had a look into the cluster framework and other parts of zeek's code, but it doesn't seem so easy to me.

Thanks in advance,
Mauro
