I think there was some environment variable to limit the the log size. Where can I find it?

I am not aware of any such variable, and cannot guess what it would do.

is the plugin logfilesizechecker safe to use?

That is using Run.getLogText so it ought to work. (I have not tried.)

How can i override MAX_LINES_READ in Jenkinsfile?

I do not know what that variable is or what you think it should be doing. Probably unrelated to this issue—should be asked on the users’ list etc.

Renaming the log.gz to log also makes it possible for jenkins to render the log.

Renaming the ' log.gz ' to ' log ' also makes it possible for jenkins to render the log.

This way you dont have to unzip the log (which saves diskspace)

What's the solution here, is it as simple as having compressed log stored as log vs log.gz?

if resulting file log.gz is renamed to log jenkins is able to show the log content.

Yeah, I can confirm that keeping the file name `log` even though it is compressed, keeps things working.

Can't it just create a symlink log -> log.gz ?

Jesse Glick, any plan to fix it?

Me? No, I do not work on this plugin. If it has a maintainer, it would be up to them.

akostadinov the plugin is marked as "up for adoption": https://plugins.jenkins.io/compress-buildlog/

Looks like its main developer (also some tickets here in Jira are still assigned to him) was Daniel Beck. He could maybe give some light there.

I plan to release https://github.com/jenkinsci/compress-buildlog-plugin/pull/10 soon, which just drops Pipeline support. I am not currently interested in implementing support for it, and that way the plugin at least works for other use cases.
