With every single push to GitLab it will trigger a build. Depending on the number of push activities we do generate logs. For users who have GitLab server in a VM infrastructure and need to take backup as VM snapshots this can became a huge problem. Below are some calculations that we have got in our 20 push activities on our server.

20 x 4MB of logs = 80 MB daily

80MB x 22 days = 1,760 MB monthly = 1,7 GB monthly

1,7 GB x 12 = 20,4 GB yearly

It would be nice if we could claim back the valuable storage weekly or monthly in some automated way that can be configured.
