Archived Workflow are not visible in Temporal WebUI

Rahul_Kashyap · April 28, 2026, 3:57pm

Hi Team,

We have self hosted temporal and enabled the archival on temporal namespace but Archive tab does not shows any archived workflows.

Also i can see some open issue around this topic:

Archival does not show list of archived workflows

## Expected Behavior Viewing the Archival tab for a namespace which has archive…d workflows should display them. ## Actual Behavior The Archival tab is displaying the message "No Workflows running in this Namespace" even though there are archived workflows present in the configured archival S3 bucket. The GET call to `api/v1/namespaces/<namespace>/archived-workflows?query=` is failing with an HTTP 400. ## Steps to Reproduce the Problem 1. Create an S3 bucket for Archival. 2. Ensure that Temporal's K8s service account has the below IAM permissions, changing the bucket name here to match. ``` { "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:ListBucket", "s3:GetBucketLocation", "s3:PutObject", "s3:PutObjectAcl", "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectAcl", "s3:DeleteObject" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::temporal-workflow-archive-bucket", "arn:aws:s3:::temporal-workflow-archive-bucket/*" ] } ] } ``` 4. Add the below configuration to the Temporal Helm chart, changing the bucket name here to match. ``` config: archival: history: state: enabled enableRead: true provider: s3store: region: <aws region> visibility: state: enabled enableRead: true provider: s3store: region: <aws region> namespaceDefaults: archival: history: state: enabled URI: s3://temporal-workflow-archive-bucket visibility: state: enabled URI: s3://temporal-workflow-archive-bucket ``` 5. Turn on archival and visibility for a namespace that has workflows running, and wait for the retention period. 6. View the archival bucket and observe that there are files present for those archived workflows. 7. Go to the Archival tab for that namespace and observe the message "No Workflows running in this Namespace" and the failed call to `api/v1/namespaces/<namespace>/archived-workflows?query=`. ## Specifications - Version: 1.22.5 - Platform: AWS, EKS, amd64

Cannot load archived (s3 provider) workflow history on UI

From my basic research (with no real context into the code) it seems like `Descr…ibeWorkflowExecution` in frontend workflow_handler does not take into account that a workflow can be archived. In which case it needs to do special logic. `GetWorkflowExecutionHistory` on the other hand, handles archived workflows perfectly. This results in the UI not being able to show workflow run page because `describe` request fails with 404. ## Expected Behavior Be able to open a workflow run from Archived page and get the detailed history for history archival. ## Actual Behavior 404 on openning the page. ## Steps to Reproduce the Problem 1. Create a namespace with short retention and archival s3 enabled 1. run a workflow and let archival happen 1. let retention time pass 2. try to open workflow from Archived UI page ## Specifications - Version: - Server: 1.23.1 - UI: 2.27.0 - Postgres: 14 - Archival: s3 - Platform:

Any help regarding this would be appreciated.

Rahul:

I wanted to follow up on this. I am unable to reproduce the issue:

Can you provide additional information regarding your environment?
[1] Docker, K8s
[2] Version
[3] Storage

Notes: My self hosted is running 2.49.1, in k8s and using Minio.

Thanks!
