title: Jenkins build logs are too large
body: <p>I have some jobs in Jenkins that create logs that are 300MB large, each.
  The build's log gets created on my Solaris M6 machine.</p>
  
  <p>Fact : I cannot pimp my job because of a business process, it must stay as it is.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>My question : How to maintain such huge logs?</p>
    
    <p>Is there any way that Jenkins perhaps knows how to ZIP the logs by
    himself and then UNZIP it when my user tries to read the Console
    Output (the logs itself via Jenkins) ?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Because if I zip the log manually on Solaris, it will no longer be readable via Jenkins.</p>
