# Creating replays of archived events in Amazon EventBridge
<a name="eb-replay-archived-event"></a>

When you start a new replay, you specify a time period for the event you want EventBridge to resend to the source event bus. You can also specify for EventBridge to send the events to specific rules.

**To start an event replay (console)**

1. Open the Amazon EventBridge console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/events/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/events/).

1. Navigate to the replays directly, or from the archive you want to replay:
   + In the navigation pane, choose **Archives**.

     On the **Archives** page, choose the archive and then choose**Replay**.
   + In the navigation pane, choose **Replays**.

     Choose **Start new replay**.

1. Enter a **Name** for the replay and, optionally, a **Description**.

1. For **Source**, select the archive to replay events from.

1. For destination, you can replay events only to the same event bus that emitted the events.

1. For **Specify rules**, do one of the following:
   + Choose **All rules** to replay events to all rules.
   + Choose **Specify rules**, and then select the rule or rules to replay the events to.

1. Under **Replay time frame**, specify the **Date**, **Time**, and **Time zone** for the **Start time** and the **End time**. 

   Only events that occurred between the **Start time** and **End time** are replayed. 

1. Choose **Start replay**.

**To start a replay (AWS CLI)**
+ Use [start-replay](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/events/start-replay.html).
