Deprecation notice
This module is deprecated because of the new, incompatible and (in our eyes) unusable new sidecar feature from Graylog 3. If somebody wants to adopt it, please open an issue.

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)
