Compression of logs

[branch-predictor]

"Teuthology.log" files compress very well. Having them compressed would reduce bandwidth needed by http client by ~80%. There are two approaches to this: 1) To make http (gzip) compression work in Nginx that sits between Pulpito and user, one needs to add

        gzip_types text/html text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;

in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

and replace line

    text/plain                            txt;

with

    text/plain                            txt log;

in /etc/nginx/mime.conf.

2) More complicated, but even more beneficial would be having them stored as compressed once the job is done.

Regarding option #1, would it still be possible to click on the log in pulpito and display it directly? Or would the user have to save (and gunzip) it, first?

For me it displays directly. You can try it on http://213.32.79.53/.

I mean http://213.32.79.53:8081/ obviously.

Yes, that's very nice. I'll implement it ASAP.
