Answer

That the MID server is in a cluster

Question 7

If a MID Server's memory usage is consistently high, what parameter should you tune?

Accepted Answer

Answer

mid.thread.max

Answer

mid.poll.time

Answer

mid.cache.size

Question 8

Which TWO ways can you view MID Server logs?

Accepted Answer

Directly on the MID Server host file system. You can view them via the agent directory on the host or through the MID Server record in the instance if configured.

Answer

Via the System Mail log

Answer

Via the user profile

Answer

Via the Discovery Dashboard

Question 9

What is the purpose of the 'MID Server User' assigned to a MID Server record?

Accepted Answer

To authenticate the MID Server to the ServiceNow instance. The MID Server user is the account the MID Server service uses to authenticate with the ServiceNow instance to pull and push ECC Queue records.
