Can someone suggest info on how i go about updating my versions of Greylog/MongoDB without breaking them ?

It would be nice to know what your installation is. Docker? Package? What OS you are running?

Fedora Linux with Docker

What graylog version are you on? Are you using docker compose?

You update the docker config to use the latest version and then run

docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d

I keep the docker compose I used in my video updated on GitHub

github.com/lawrencesystems/graylog

docker-compose.yml

master

version: '3'

networks:
  graynet:
    driver: bridge

# This is how you persist data between container restarts
volumes:
  mongo_data:
    driver: local
  log_data:
    driver: local
  graylog_data:
    driver: local

services:
  # Graylog stores configuration in MongoDB
  mongo:
    image: mongo:6.0.5-jammy
    container_name: mongodb

Also how does one update the MongoDB associated with Greylog ?

If you followed my install process then it is all in the same docker compose file and will update at the same time when running the pull.

great thanks for the help with this

Noticed that your .yml file contains the line mongo:6.0.5-jammy.

I think this is for Mongo Ubuntu version.

If I am using Fedora do you have any idea what I would use instead ?

You can run mongo:6.0.5-jammy on Fedora just fine. Docker images are self contained.
