MID Server

Option to choose a particular MID Server to set up in your environment, which will be used by this integration to pull notable events into ServiceNow. You can select a specific MID Server from the list or select Any to enable an auto-selection of a valid MID Server from the list for this integration.

Note:

  • The MID Server selected during this configuration time applies throughout this integration.
  • Only MID Servers that are active and validated are displayed on this list. By default, the value is set to Any. For example, there are three MID Servers A, B, and C. If you select Any, then one of these MID Servers is auto-selected and applies throughout this integration. If you select a specific MID Server, say C, then the selected MID Server C applies throughout this integration.

If you want to change the MID Server, then you have to reconfigure it from the App Configuration tile.

Each Splunk Enterprise Security notable event type that you ingest from your Splunk Enterprise Security incident review console requires a unique event profile in your ServiceNow AI Platform® instance. However, the source that you configure on the Event Ingestion Configuration form can be reused for multiple ServiceNow AI Platform® profiles as long as each profile ingests unique notable event types.
  1. Select Submit.
