2. UPGRADE to 6.2.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade graylog

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 6.2.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison graylog sudo apt install graylog=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.2.0> sudo apt-mark hold graylog

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list graylog sudo dnf downgrade graylog-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.2.0> sudo dnf versionlock add graylog

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
