pg_reload_conf()

Hi,

maybe I am missing something...

with superuser rights, on a postgres 14 and postgres 15 version:
select setting, boot_val, reset_val from pg_settings where
name='log_connections';
off off off
alter system set log_connections to 'on';
select setting, boot_val, reset_val from pg_settings where
name='log_connections';
off off off
... strange
select pg_reload_conf();
t
select setting, boot_val, reset_val from pg_settings where
name='log_connections';
off off off

very strange.

cat postgresql.auto.conf
log_connections = 'on'

obviously, if I stop and restart the DB,
select setting, boot_val, reset_val from pg_settings where
name='log_connections';
on off on

So, I am perplexed: what pg_reload_conf() is doing/not doing ?

thanks
