Description of problem: can we change ovirtlogrot.sh to use xz instead of gzip -9? vdsm already uses xz so aside from the fact that xz compression is better, it will be nice if engine uses it too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): si25.1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd /var/log/ovirt-engine 2. ls -ltr 3. Actual results: use gz to zip files Expected results: it would be nice to use xz Additional info: as you can see in /usr/share/ovirt-engine/scripts/ovirtlogrot.sh we are using gzip -9
It'll reduce the compressed logs by 20-30%, which should be helpful for support log collection as well.
Need to check if it means we need to require xz in the spec file.
