Configure MID Server integrations

Configure an integration for collecting and streaming MID Server log messages to your ServiceNow instance for processing by Health Log Analytics.

Before you begin

Important:

You can create only one MID Server integration per MID Server.

• Ensure that a MID Server is installed and configured with the Log Ingestion capability enabled.

  

  Important:

  Health Log Analytics does not support IPv6. To work with the application, configure the MID Server to IPv4.
• If the MID Server IP address is exposed by network address translation (NAT), a load balancer, or a similar device, it must have a public IP address. In the MID Server properties, add a property named mid.public_ip with the public IP address as the value. For more information, see Create a MID Server property.
