Hi all,  
as I understand there are two set of configuration parameters in temporal server deploy:

- config/dynamicconfig/development.yaml
- config\_template.yaml

The first one is dynamic and can be changed at runtime without restarting server (could you confirm this?)  
The second one instead is loaded at server start and requires a server restart at any change.

I noticed that in config\_template.yaml is defined the LOG\_LEVEL, so could you confirm that als a change to the log level requires a server restart and that is not possible to change level at runtime?

Great thanks for your attention  
Regards  
Marco

Yes, to all your questions. Btw, `config_template.yaml` is not a config itself but config template (as you may guess from its name). Config is a `docker.yaml` in the same `config` dir.
