# Import archived logs

## Description

Coralogix allows you to import the data [you archived](https://coralogix.com/tutorials/archive-s3-bucket-forever/) in an easy and structured way. Simply use our proprietary Lambda function and have your archived logs back in your system in minutes.

To choose what to archive:

1. Go to your Coralogix archive bucket, data should be stored there per the day and hour of the log entries.

2. Choose the relevant hour to import and place it in a separate bucket.

3. Note - Imported logs count as part of your daily quota.

## Usage
