What does the term 'capability' refer to in the context of a MID Server?

In the context of a MID Server within ServiceNow, the term 'capability' specifically refers to the specific functions that the MID Server can perform. A MID Server is a Java application that runs on a server in your network and facilitates communication and data transfer between ServiceNow and external systems, such as your on-premises servers and devices.

The capabilities of the MID Server include various tasks such as executing discovery probes to gather information about networked devices, applications, and services, running orchestration activities, and facilitating integration with other applications or platforms. Each of these functions is designed to expand the ways in which the MID Server interacts with the ServiceNow platform, ensuring that it can efficiently collect and relay the necessary data.

Understanding the specific functions that a MID Server can perform helps administrators and users leverage its capabilities effectively for discovery and other processes within a ServiceNow environment. The other options may relate to aspects of the MID Server's function or utility, but they do not accurately capture the essence of what 'capability' signifies in this context.
