Visual Studio Code scroll back buffer

Is there a way to control how many lines can be in the scroll back buffer?

I need a few thousand lines. I'm writing testing code and have extensive output going to a log, but I have simple pass / fail results to the console.

The validations for each test print to the console. I may have 150 to 250 tests per suite, but say 8+ validations per test. I'd rather not open a full terminal window as this integrated environment is cleaning up my screen quite a bit.

Solution
    1. Open preferences
      1. Mac: Code → Preferences → Settings.
      2. Windows: File → preferences → Settings.
    2. Search for scrollback.
    3. Overwrite "terminal.integrated.scrollback": 1000, with whatever you want, e.g. 9999.
