How to restart a MID Server that is in Down status

[__ __2]

The MID server status is Down, so I want to restart the MID agent, but "Restart MID" is not displayed in the related links for the target MID server.
Is there a way to restart the MID agent other than from the related links?

If "Restart MID" isn't showing up in the related links, you can restart the MID server manually. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Access the MID server host: Log in to the server where the MID server is installed.
2. Find the Service:
   • On Windows: Open the Services management console (services.msc), find the ServiceNow MID Server service.
   • On Linux: Use a command like sudo service servicenow-mid start or sudo systemctl start servicenow-mid.
3. Restart the Service:
   • On Windows: Right-click on the ServiceNow MID Server service and select "Restart".
   • On Linux: Use sudo service servicenow-mid restart or sudo systemctl restart servicenow-mid.

This should get your MID server back up and running.

Hi @__ __2 

You can login to the Mid Server host and restart the service from Services.msc console.
