ESA deployments map rules from your rule library to the appropriate ESA Services and data sources. The Deployment panel (CONFIGURE > ESA Rules > Rules tab) enables you to create and configure ESA deployments that specify:
When you are ready to start aggregating data and generating alerts from an ESA deployment, you deploy the ESA deployment to activate it.

ESA Services
In the ESA Services section, you can manage each ESA service in the deployment.
The following table describes the actions you can perform in the ESA Services section.
|
 | Adds an ESA service to the deployment. |
 | Removes the selected ESA service from the deployment. |
The following table describes the columns in the ESA Services section.
| Status | Indicates if the deployment status is Added, Deployed, Updated, or Failed. |
| Name | Name of the ESA service. |
| Address | IP address of the host where the ESA service is installed. |
| Version | Version of the ESA service. |
| Last Deployment Date | The date and time when the ESA service was last deployed. |
Deployment Options
There are two deployment options below the Services section. These options apply to the entire ESA deployment.
The following table describes these deployment options.
|
| Show Updates | Enables you to view a history of updates to the deployment. |
| Deploy Now | Activates the ESA deployment. The selected ESA service starts aggregating data and generating alerts using the specified ESA rules in the deployment. You need to add ESA Rules to the deployment before deploying the ESA deployment. |
ESA Rules
In the ESA Rules section, you manage rules in the deployment. This section lists all rules that are currently in the deployment.
The following table describes the actions you can perform in the ESA Rules section.
|
| | Opens the Deploy ESA Rules dialog, where you can select a rule. |
| | Removes the selected ESA rules from the deployment. |
 | Filters the list of rules. |
 | Enables you to search for a rule. |
The following table describes the columns in the ESA Rules section.
| Status | Indicates the rule status: - Deployed - the rule is deployed.
- Updated - the rule has been updated since the last deployment.
- Added - the rule has been added since the last deployment.
- Failed - the deployment failed.
|
| Rule Name | Describes the purpose of the ESA rule. |
| Trial Rule | Indicates whether the rule is Deployment mode to see if the rule runs efficiently. |
| Severity | Shows the threat level of alert triggered by the rule. |
| Type | Shows the type of the ESA rule: Rule Builder, Advanced EPL, or RSA Live ESA (Downloaded from RSA Live). |
| Email, SNMP, Syslog, Script | Indicates which notification types are used for alerts generated by the rules. |
| Last Modified | Shows the date and time when the ESA rule was last modified. |
