Graylog-7.0 Install Issue

Graylog Central (peer support)

We’re having issues installing the latest version of Graylog 7 on Amazon Linux 2003 using the latest rpm. This was working fine a few weeks ago when we were testing but now we are having issues.

We are following the instructions here - Red Hat Installation: Multiple Graylog Nodes

All steps are followed successfully and yum install graylog-datanode runs as expected.

On running yum install graylog-server, we get the following though:

Running transaction check
Transaction check succeeded.
Running transaction test
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing ‘dnf clean packages’.
Error: Transaction test error:

For testing purposes we uninstalled graylog-datanode version 7 and attempted to follow the process for installing server/datanode for version 6.3. The version 6.3 installed with no issues.

From the looks of the following link, the rpm file was updated on the 4th March 2026 - Graylog Package Repository

Is anyone aware of any changes?

Thanks

Hey @rsailopal,

Does upgrading and installing both packages at the same time, yum install graylog-server graylog-datanode, change anything?

No exactly the same issue unfortunately.

Same issue on Alma 10. Been using Graylog for years on a couple systems, never seen this error until yesterday, on the 7.0.5 upgrade. Not sure how to get past it without potentially causing future issues.

There is a GitHub issue here: yum Transaction test error when updating a box with both datanode and server to 7.0.5 · Issue #25221 · Graylog2/graylog2-server · GitHub

Ah, brilliant. This is just the information I was after.

The conflict has been fixed in 7.0.5-2
