As a Jenkins master administrator, I would like to have all new JUnit test result XML files be compressed (and allow old ones to not be compressed), so that I can:
      1) save disk space on the master
      2) save disk space on any backups
      3) reduce disk-io required for moving disk over volumes
      4) reduce disk-io time required while accessing that data

      In my experience, these XML files have TONS of repetition, where gzip can cut the disk by a fraction of 25 or 30 times.

       

          [JENKINS-63368] Compress test results

          A "would be nice" to this, would be that I could go in to old builds and run gzip on those files, manually.

           

          WOW that would save a lot of disk!

          Has you try this ? https://plugins.jenkins.io/junit-sql-storage/ 

          I looks pretty good solution, but no time to try it now.
