You can edit a deployment to change the data source, create a data source filter, and view ESA rules that are associated with this deployment. A data source filter can improve performance by only aggregating relevant data to an ESA rule deployment. For the filter to work, application rules must be enabled on the mapped decoders to apply the meta keys required for this filter. After saving the filter, it must be deployed to take effect.

However, you cannot change the deployment name, or ESA service that are associated with the deployment.

NetWitness Platform XDR provides two methods to manage deployments.

You can edit deployments in the following ways:

  • Using the ESA Deployments tab. The ESA Deployments tab provides a consolidated view of all the available deployments within CCM. You can edit deployments.

  • Using a specific policy. In this method, you cannot view other deployments. You need to go to each policy and edit a deployment.
