Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The 'MID Server Proxy' table in ServiceNow
Why it's wrong here
This table does not exist; proxy settings are local to the MID Server.
- ✗
The 'Discovery Credential' record
Why it's wrong here
Discovery credentials are used for scanning targets, not for the MID Server's own proxy traffic.
- ✗
The 'MID Server Properties' module
Why it's wrong here
General properties do not handle granular proxy settings required for service startup.
- ✓
The config.xml file on the host machine
Why this is correct
The config.xml file is the authoritative location for MID Server network connectivity settings.
