5. Select the time range of the logs that you want to recall, by specifying the Start Time and End Time.

   Note that the start time and end time are extended to align with the log index structure. So, when you view the list of active recalls or visit the activity tab, you may get the before and after time extended beyond your chosen time range.

6. Click Estimate to determine the size of the logs that you've selected for recall.

7. Click Submit to proceed with the recall of the selected logs.

   The Recall Archived Logs dialog box closes, and the recall activity is listed in the Recall Archived Logs tab. The table specifies the status, start time, end time, size, and date of recall activity.

   Watch the status of recall. You can use the recalled logs for viewing and analysis after the recall activity is complete.

8. After active use of the recalled logs, if you want to release it back to the archive pool, click the menu icon in the row corresponding to your recalled logs, and select Release.

   The recalled logs will then be released back into the archive pool. This will enable you to optimize your storage size.
