Comment 3 for bug 1723182

So reading http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-October/123562.html what if we started tar.gz'ing /etc like we used to? That would eliminate the "uploading hundreds of small files" problem and I feel like in general the logs are looked at more than the config files so it would be a minor inconvenience to occasionally have to download and extract them instead of having them immediately available. By gzipping them locally we would also have less data to upload to the log server in the first place.
