Yes,

In Jenkins, click on the build number in the bread crumbs at the top of
the page to get back to the build overview, as here:

  https://jenkins.openstack.org/job/gate-tempest-devstack-vm/5868/

Then, in the middle of the page, expand the tree under "Build
Artifacts", then "logs".  You'll get a listing of log files, like this:

  https://jenkins.openstack.org/job/gate-tempest-devstack-vm/5868/artifact/logs/

That has every bit of output we know to capture.  It used to be more
visible, but now we have so many, Jenkins collapses the list by default
to save screen space.  If something you need isn't being archived, let
me know or submit a patch to:

  https://github.com/openstack-ci/devstack-gate

If information you need isn't being logged, please consider that a bug
(in nova, etc), and correct accordingly.

You can push a change to gerrit, and then click the "Work In Progress"
button.  It won't show up in people's list of changes to review, and
can't be merged until you click "Ready for Review".  But Jenkins will
still run checks each time you upload a new patchset (but note -- when
you upload a new patchset, it automatically transitions out of work in
progress, so if you're still working on it, you need to mark it WIP
again).
