Hi All,

Here is my ansible script

`

- name: Install Graylog server  
yum: name=/tmp/graylog-server-2.1.2-1.noarch.rpm state=latest

`

During upgrade installation failing with below error, but i can see /tmp/graylog-server-2.1.2-1.noarch.rpm

When name is local path or a url only state=present is supported.  
From the documentation  
"You can also pass a url or a local path to a rpm file (using state=present)."

I tried state is present but not updating the rpm, rpm is already in local path

`

- name: Install Graylog server  
yum: name=/tmp/graylog-server-2.1.2-1.noarch.rpm state=present

Since local path and url doesn't support state latest it's not possible to upgrade with the yum module.

You could use the command module with rpm -U or just create a repository and serve the files with a web server.
