ServiceNow Certified Implementation Specialist – Event Management — Question 11

You have a system configured with a MID Web Server using Basic authentication to enable Operational Management Intelligence (OI) to push raw metric data to the MID Server. No data is getting through to the MID Server.
What is the most likely cause of the issue?

Answer options

• A. The MID Web Server needs to be Restarted
• B. The MID Web Server needs to be Started
• C. An invalid secret key is being passed in the header information of the URL for the REST request
• D. An invalid password is set in the MID Web Server Context

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as an invalid password in the MID Web Server Context would prevent successful authentication, thus blocking data from reaching the MID Server. Options A and B are incorrect because restarting or starting the server would not resolve authentication issues. Option C is also incorrect as it pertains to the secret key rather than the password configuration.
