Limitations
This module uses the githubreleases module to download the graylog distribution package from Github. However, Github imposes a rate limiting on unauthenticated requests, which the module does (currently, this module doesn't allow setting Github credentials).
So if you have a rather large deployment using this module, the rate limit might fail the deployment. If so, you'll have to wait for the Rate limit to be reset.
If this is a constant pain, please open an issue.
OS compatibility:
- Debian-Family (Ubuntu, Debian)
- RedHat-Family (RHEL, CentOS)
