Understanding ServiceNow Orchestration architecture 


Management, Instrumentation, and Discovery Server (MID Server) play a key role in Orchestration activities. ServiceNow, which is on the cloud, talks to the corporate network through the MID Server. The MID Server also helps to facilitate the defined Orchestration activities. Orchestration activities instruct the MID Server to execute Orchestration commands against the target infrastructure component and responses back are sent to the instance.

Orchestration workflow 

Orchestration is initiated through the Orchestration workflow. The Orchestration workflow launches a probe and puts the workflows into a pause state. The MID Server executes the probe against the target infrastructure device. Once the probe results are retrieved, the workflow is resumed.

Activities that involve direct web servers do not require the use of Orchestration. Our chapter will be based on the Istanbul release. Let's have a look at the new updates in the release.
