Is that normal?

The current logrotate setup for task logs is that they never get rotated, I guess we didn't expect task runs to have log sizes of 100MB and upwards. Can you make out what those large ones contain? Are those backup logs?

[necrevistonnezr]

Yep, the big ones are all backup logs. More than 1,500 files....
Can we at least compress them?

@necrevistonnezr You can safely delete them. We will make a fix in the next version.

It's a bug.. Fixed for the next release, thanks for reporting!
