compress old puppet reports
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:
