Hi guys, I’m using Jenkins, Terraform and pipeline to automate our tasks but is really difficult to read the console output, because the output is mixed with letters, symbols and numbers. Is there a way somehow from the configurations to fix this and have more readable output? Screenshot is attached below. ![console_output](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/jenkins/original/2X/1/159bf51f4f810d3643934f7bd87e083ad2fd83c8.png) Jenkins version is: 2.395 on Docker container. Server: Amazon Linux 2023 with Debian 11 Docker container. Kind regards, Ivo ---

Thank you Markus, I know about this plugin but I wasn’t sure If I can use some default settings in Jenkins or have to install additional thing. Now it seems the console output is much better. Regards, Ivo
