I’ve noticed that since last week (May 21) when trying to update the graylog-sidecar package on RHEL-8/9 I get these errors

```auto
$ yum list available graylog-sidecar

```

The graylog-sidecar.repo contains:

```auto
[graylog-sidecar]
name=graylog-sidecar
baseurl=https://packages.graylog2.org/repo/el/sidecar-stable/1.5/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-graylog-sidecar

```

Anyone else getting these errors ?

Have you tried the downloads path as described in the docs?  
E.g. [https://downloads.graylog.org/repo/el/sidecar-stable/1.5/x86\_64/repodata/repomd.xml](https://downloads.graylog.org/repo/el/sidecar-stable/1.5/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml)

It’s working today, so whatever was broken got fixed over the past few days.

To be clear, this was not an initial install, just a regular `yum update` to upgrade the sidecars from 1.5.2 to 1.5.4.

I checked with the documentation and downloaded the latest repository rpm (graylog-sidecar-repository-1-6.noarch.rpm) and that one still has the baseUrl defined as:

```auto
baseurl=https://packages.graylog2.org/repo/el/sidecar-stable/1.5/

```

thanks for the help though.
