# Archives
> Browse completed audit-log archives produced by Matcher archival jobs, filter them by their covered date range, and download them when you have access.
The **Archives** page in the Matcher UI lets you browse completed audit-log archives for the current tenant. It is a retrieval page: Matcher archival-worker configuration controls archive creation, retention, and storage lifecycle; those settings are not changed here.
## Accessing the Archives page
***
Navigate to **Matcher → Reporting → Archives** in the left sidebar. You need archive read access to open the page; administrators also have access.
## Filters
***
Use the covered-date filters at the top of the page to find archives whose **entire** covered period is inside a specific window. This is containment, not overlap: an archive is returned only when its covered start is on or after **Covered from** and its covered end is on or before **Covered to**.
| Filter | Description |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Covered from** | Lower bound for the archive's covered start date (required) |
| **Covered to** | Upper bound for the archive's covered end date (required; a date includes that entire day) |
Click **Apply filters** to run the search. Both dates are required, and **Covered from** must be before or equal to **Covered to**. Applying a new range returns to the first results page.
When the page loads, the default covered window ends on the current UTC date and starts 90 days earlier. Adjust the dates to narrow or widen it.
## Archive table
***
The table lists only **Complete** archives and displays the following columns:
| Column | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Partition** | Name of the database partition that was archived |
| **Date range** | Start and end of the archive's covered period, shown as UTC dates |
| **Rows** | Number of audit-log rows captured in the archive |
| **Size** | Compressed archive-object size |
| **Storage** | Object-storage class recorded for the archive |
| **Status** | Archive status; this list contains only **Complete** archives |
| **Archived** | UTC timestamp when archival completed, not when its metadata record was created; `·` is shown if the timestamp is absent |
| **Actions** | **Download** control, shown only to administrators or users with archive download access |
The page requests 25 archives at a time. Use **Previous** and **Next** below the table to page through results; **Next** is available only when the service reports another page.
### Storage metadata
The **Storage** column identifies the archive's object-storage class. **STANDARD**, **STANDARD\_IA**, and **ONEZONE\_IA** are immediately readable; **INTELLIGENT\_TIERING** moves objects between tiers; and **GLACIER\_IR** is instant-retrieval cold storage. **GLACIER** and **DEEP\_ARCHIVE** require a restore before download.
## Downloading an archive
***
If you have archive download access, click **Download** on a row to prepare that archive's download. Matcher makes this request only after you click the control. On success, it returns a time-limited presigned URL, its UTC expiration timestamp, and the archive's `sha256:` checksum; the UI opens a safe download URL and displays the checksum so you can verify the downloaded bytes.
The default presign duration is one hour (`archival.presign_expiry_sec` defaults to 3,600 seconds). It can be changed through archival configuration and is capped at seven days. For **GLACIER** and **DEEP\_ARCHIVE**, restore the object before downloading it. If object storage is unavailable, Matcher cannot prepare the download and the UI shows an error.
