MidServer Services Architecture
The Management, Instrumentation, and Discovery (MID) Server is a Java application that runs as a Windows service or UNIX daemon on a server in your local network.
The MID Server facilitates communication and the movement of data between a ServiceNow instance and external applications, data sources, and services.
| The MID Server enables communication between a Servicenow Instance and the customer network |
| It is a Java Application that runs as a Windows Service or a Unix Dameon |
| It requires only an outbound connection on Port 443 |
MIdServer Services Requirements
The Management, Instrumentation, and Discovery (MID) Server is a Java application that runs as a Windows service or UNIX daemon on a server in your local network. The MID Server facilitates communication and the movement of data between a ServiceNow instance and external applications, data sources, and services.
Windows server: To discover Windows-based servers, run Service Mapping patterns, or execute Orchestration commands on Windows devices, the MID Server must be installed on a Windows server. The MID Server supports all Windows Server 2008, 2012, and 2016 editions, virtual machines, and 64-bit systems. Note: .NET Framework version 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 4.6, or 4.7 is required for Service Mapping support and for Windows pattern-based discovery. |
ServiceNow Configs
| · Ensure Discovery is able to write discovered objects to correct tables |
| · ServiceNow Administrator web browser must have Flash Player 10.1 or higher |

| VALIDATE MID-SERVERS | |
| Navigate to MID Server > Servers. | |
| Open the new MID Server from the list of MID Servers. | |
| Under Related Links click Validate. | |
| The Set Initial Selection Criteria window appears if there are no records in the Supported Applications, IP Ranges, or Capabilities related lists. | |
| On the Set Initial Selection Criteria window, use the switches to enable or disable selection criteria for this MID Server: | |
| Allow ALL capabilities: Allow all capabilities for Orchestration and Event Management use this MID Server. | |
| Note: Service Mapping and Event Management alert aggregation and RCA, which used capabilities in previous releases, rely on the application for MID Server selection starting with the Istanbul release. | |
| Allow ALL applications: Allow all applications that use MID Servers use this MID Server. | |
| Allow ALL IP ranges: Make all IP ranges valid for this MID Server, meaning that it can target any IP address. | |
| Setting initial selection criteria | |
| |
| If you click Cancel, the validation continues but none of the capabilities, applications, or IP ranges are added. | |
| Click OK. | |
| The Validated field on the dashboard is set to Validating, and then set to Yes after the validation completes. |
