The MID Server Management application is used to handle communication and data movement between your ServiceNow instance and external systems like databases, applications, or services. It basically lets ServiceNow connect safely with systems behind your firewall for Discovery, Orchestration, Integrations, and Service Mapping.

Hi @garyminnick 

The "MID Server Management" is an application that uses the MID (Management, Instrumentation, and Discovery) Server to enable secure communication between a ServiceNow instance and an organization's local network and systemsIt supports key functionalities like Discovery (identifying IT infrastructure), Orchestration (automating tasks), and Integrations (connecting with other applications) by acting as a secure bridge for data movement behind a firewall. 

Below are few resources that provide details around the ServiceNow MID Server component.

The two given answers are not even close to my question.  I even posted a screenshot of what I am talking about.  I am starting to think people have some kind of screen scraping bots that look for key words and barfs out a form letter of information.  Either that or you don't know how Discovery works and had no idea what the screenshot was.
