I recently noticed in a failed discovery of a linux server on the step Target Cleanup:
Skipped file cleaning on target. In order to activate this behavior, please set "mid.sa.cleanup.clean_files_on_target" MID property
Does anyone have any information on this property and what it does? Is it a True/False value?

I ran across the same error today and also struggled to find additional information on this property.

Hello Jeff,
I asked ServiceNow:
What does this property do?
Should this be activated?
How do I activate the property?
Resolution:
As part of discovery, temp files are added and deleted after pattern execution. Sometimes, it is possible that few of the temp files might be left behind and not deleted properly.
The 'mid.sa.cleanup.clean_files_on_target' MID Server Property is responsible for cleaning up these files after pattern execution.
To set this property,
1. Create MID server property "mid.sa.cleanup.clean_files_on_target = true" on the related midserver
2. Restart the MID server used for Discovery to sync with the MID property
3. Test Discovery again and then check if you see the error anymore.
