Explanation

On Cisco ESA, the Services Overview page provides visibility into running service engines (including graymail, anti-spam, anti-virus, etc.) and allows administrators to roll back to a previously installed engine version without waiting for a new update. This is the correct and fastest remediation path when a pulled engine update causes service instability. The System Health page (B) monitors appliance health metrics but does not offer engine rollback controls. Downloading another update from IMS and Graymail (C) or Service Updates (D) would push the same broken version again and would not resolve the crash.
