My library Knowledge Sources To Go is very popular, but it was intended mainly as a thematically grouped guide to standard sources and was provided by me as a PDF file. For certain topics, however, there is so much content that I can no longer include it in that document, as it cannot continue to grow forever.For this reason, I have decided to handle such topics in individual community articles like this one instead.

What is the MID server?

The Management, Instrumentation, and Discovery Server is a Java application that runs as a Windows service or UNIX daemon on a server in your local network. The MID Server enables communication and the movement of data between a ServiceNow instance and external applications, data sources, and services. It is core to many successful implementations as it is used with several ServiceNow products such as Discovery, Service Mapping, Integration Hub, Orchestration, Cloud Provisioning and Governance, Event Management, and Operational Intelligence and can provides support for integrations with LDAP, Active Directory, and 3rd party integrations using SOAP or REST.
