Hi @AjaiK
i have seen similar issues before, and in most cases the problem wasn't with the MID Server itself but with the environment it's running in.
I would first check the agent0.log file to see if there are any recurring errors around the time the MID Server goes down. It's also worth reviewing the Windows Event Viewer (or Linux system logs) to check if the server was restarted, ran out of memory, or if the MID Server service stopped unexpectedly.
Another thing to verify is the network connection between the MID Server and the ServiceNow instance. Intermittent DNS issues, firewall rules, proxy timeouts, or SSL problems can all cause the MID Server to appear as down even though the service is still running.
It's also a good idea to monitor the server's CPU, memory, and disk usage. If the host is under heavy load, the MID Server may become unresponsive. Make sure the Java version is supported and that the MID Server service is configured to restart automatically if it fails.
If none of these checks reveal the cause, enable debug logging for a short period and compare the timestamps with any infrastructure changes, such as Windows updates, antivirus scans, or scheduled maintenance. In my experience, identifying that correlation usually helps pinpoint the root cause and prevents the issue from recurring.
