compress old puppet reports

[seth vidal]

Puppet reports have grown since we switched from 0.25 to 2.6.X by
roughly 10x their original size.

so they are sucking the disk space out of puppet1 b/c we keep them
there.

When I reduced the number we keep it didn't have as nice of an impact on
our free space as I would like.

So - I wrote this to modify our reports clean up to compress all .yaml
files except for the latest 24hours worth of them.

It keeps 1month present - but much, much, smaller

and it keeps the latest 24 hours worth immediately available.

here's the patch:


diff --git a/modules/puppet/files/puppet-report-clean.sh
b/modules/puppet/files/puppet-report-clean.sh
index d274e2b..d4af330 100755
