logrotate : rudder reports

Description
your logrotate rules use delaycompress, I suppose it's for easily read log in case of problem. In my case /var/log/rudder/reports use 2.5Go and delayed log file use 1.5Go of this 2.5Go.
So I think it could be better if you don't use delaycompress option, what's your opinion ?

As I can understand, the use of delaycompress prevent logs to be compressed until concerned app has closed all writings in its logfile. It is useful to prevent some errors but with Rudder which could create logs as heavy as yours, it seems to me that this option should be removed like you suggested. At least for the reason that prevent a log file heavier than 1Go is a useless loss of space.
What do you think about it, Jon ?
Thanks to report us your experience with Rudder :)

Absolutely, this is painful for users. Let's remove it.
