The MID Web Server is part of the common infrastructure of the MID Server.

The MID Web Server extension provides options for authentication and data security, and runs for as long as it is enabled. The extension starts a web server on the MID Server to handle web requests from external systems. The raw data is pushed to the extension, either from a client or with a customized script. The data is collected by the MID Server and is transmitted to the ServiceNow instance.
{#mid-web-server__ph_about-task}

The MID Web Server extension supports MID Server clusters that
are configured for failover. When selecting a MID Server cluster option, an algorithm
determines which MID Server in the cluster runs the extension. The extension
can run on only one MID Server. If the MID Server in the cluster
that runs the MID Web Server extension goes down, the extension automatically
starts to run on the secondary MID Server, which is activated when the primary
MID Server goes down.

  The MID Web Server is a MID Server extension that enables developing REST APIs to send events and metrics to the MID Server. The extension is leveraged by other MID Server extensions, such as Metric Intelligence, MID WebService Event Listener, and the Agent Client Collector websocket endpoint extension.
