DCIM_AlertIndication
Property Description Supported Operating
System(s)
AlertingEle
mentForma
t
The format of the AlertingManagedElement property is interpretable based on the value of this
property.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — The format is unknown or not meaningfully interpretable by a CIM client
application.
• 1 = Other — The format is dened by the value of the OtherAlertingElementFormat property.
• 2 = CIMObjectPath — The format is a CIMObjectPath, with format
NamespacePath:ClassName.Prop1 = Value1, Prop2=Value2, . . . specifying an instance in the
CIM Schema.

AlertingMa
nagedElem
ent
The identifying information of the entity (that is, the instance) for which this Indication is
generated. The property contains the path of an instance, encoded as a string parameter — if
the instance is modeled in the CIM Schema. If it is not a CIM instance, the property contains
some identifying string that names the entity for which the Alert is generated. The path or
identifying string is formatted per the AlertingElementFormat property.

AlertType
Primary classication of the Indication.
Possible values are:
• 1 = Other — The Indication's OtherAlertType property conveys its classication. Use of Other
in an enumeration is a standard CIM convention. It means that the current Indication does not
t into the categories described by this enumeration.
• 2 = Communications Alert — An Indication of this type is principally associated with the
procedures and/or processes required to convey information from one point to another.
• 3 = Quality of Service Alert — An Indication of this type is principally associated with a
degradation or errors in the performance or function of an entity.
• 4 = Processing Error — An Indication of this type is principally associated with a software or
processing fault.
• 5 = Device Alert — An Indication of this type is principally associated with an equipment or
hardware fault.
• 6 = Environmental Alert — An Indication of this type is principally associated with a condition
relating to an enclosure in which the hardware resides, or other environmental considerations.
• 7 = Model Change — The Indication addresses changes in the Information Model. For
example, it may embed a Lifecycle Indication to convey the specic model change being
alerted.
• 8 = Security Alert — An Indication of this type is associated with security violations, detection
of viruses, and similar issues.

EventID
An instrumentation or provider-specic value that describes the underlying real-world event
represented by the Indication. Two Indications with the same, non NULL EventID value are
considered, by the creating entity, to represent the same event. The comparison of two EventID
values is only dened for Alert Indications with identical, non NULL values of
SystemCreateClassName, SystemName, and ProviderName.

IndicationId
entier
An identier for the Indication. This property is similar to a key value in that it can be used for
identication, when correlating Indications (see the CorrelatedIndications array). Its value
SHOULD be unique as long as correlations are reported, but MAY be reused or left NULL if no
future Indications will reference it in their CorrelatedIndications array. To ensure uniqueness, the
value of IndicationIdentier should be constructed using the following preferred algorithm:
<OrgID>:<LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID>are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a
copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is
