+This script is used in ServiceNow to automate device discovery on a network by triggering Quick Discovery using a MID Server. It is typically used within a workflow or flow, where you want to scan a device using its IP address.
+It adds reliability by using two MID servers, so if one fails, the other is used as a backup.
+These are the two MID Servers that will be used to perform the discovery.
+You need to replace 'mid_server_1' and 'mid_server_2' with real MID Server names or sys_ids.
+This gives you a backup option if the first one fails.
+The script tries to get the IP address from the current record (current.ip_address).
+If that’s not available, it tries to use inputs.ip_address (passed into the script).
+If no IP address is found, it logs an error and stops.
+This is a helper function that tells ServiceNow to start Quick Discovery for a specific IP address using a specific MID Server.
+It first tries to start discovery using the first MID server.
+If it works, it logs a success message and updates the record to show that discovery was triggered using MID Server 1.
+If the first attempt fails, it logs a warning and tries again with the second MID server.
+If the second attempt also fails, it logs an error and updates the record to reflect that both attempts failed.
+The script updates the current record with the result of the discovery attempt (success or failure and which MID server was used).
