Expand logs or allow to configure number of lines displayed

      Some of my logs are pretty long and the stage logs only displays the end of it. It would be nice to have a button to expand the log or jump to the log output of the job.

      The attached screenshot exemplifies why the current implementation becomes useless in some cases, especially on Ansible output where the original error can be upper in the log.

          Hi, I appreciate that this may be of use to you, but I think it would not be considered a "major" level priority for most users, so am adjusting priority. 

          I will take a look in the future and see if there's an easy path forward – unfortunately because this plugin has lost-support/backing from the company sponsor and I only have limited personal time to maintain it, there is no guarantees on timeframes at this time.   It may require a community PR to resolve.

          I would be more than happy to make a PR for increasing the number of lines but I was not able to find the place where this limit is defined. My impression is that current value is 10 lines.

          So svanoort, if you could give me a hint on where to look, I will do the work.

          I agree that it would be very helpful to increase the number of lines of log displayed by default. 10,000 characters is actually not that much - 131 lines in my case, while my log is actually considerably longer.

          This log view is very useful when the pipeline has parallel stages as it de-interleaves the log outputs of the stages. The alternative is Blue Ocean, which does not support the project types I use (Subversion repo).
