creating or dening the IndicationIdentier or that is a recognized ID that is assigned to the
business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema
Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness must
not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the rst colon to appear in IndicationIdentier
must appear between <OrgID>and <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should not be
re-used to identify dierent underlying (real-world) elements. If the above preferred algorithm is
not used, the dening entity should assure that the resulting IndicationIdentier is not reused
across any IndicationIdentiers that are produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace
of this instance.
IndicationTi
me
The time and date of creation of the Indication. The property may be set to NULL if the entity
creating the Indication is not capable of determining this information.
NOTE: IndicationTime may be the same for two Indications that are generated in rapid
succession.
Microsoft Windows
Message
The formatted message. This message is constructed by combining some or all of the dynamic
elements specied in the MessageArguments property with the static elements uniquely
identied by the MessageID in a message registry or other catalog associated with the
OwningEntity.
Microsoft Windows
MessageAr
guments
An array containing the dynamic content of the message.
Microsoft Windows,
Linux
MessageID
A string that uniquely identies, within the scope of the OwningEntity, the format of the
Message.

OtherAlerti
ngElement
Format
A string dening Other values for AlertingElementFormat. This value MUST be set to a non NULL
value when AlertingElementFormat is set to a value of 1 (Other). For all other values of
AlertingElementFormat, the value of this string must be set to NULL.
Microsoft Windows,
Linux
OtherAlert
Type
A string describing the Alert type — used when the AlertType property is set to 1, Other State
Change.

OwningEnti
ty
A string that uniquely identies the entity that owns the denition of the format of the Message
described in this instance. OwningEntity MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise

PerceivedS
everity
An enumerated value that describes the severity of the Alert Indication from the notier's point of
view:
Possible values are:
• 2 and 0 — Information and Unknown (respectively) follow common usage. Literally, the
AlertIndication is purely informational or its severity is unknown.
• 1 = Other — By CIM convention, is used to indicate that the Severity's value can be found in
the OtherSeverity property.
• 3 = Degraded/Warning — Is used when it is appropriate to let the user decide if action is
needed.
• 4 = Minor — Is used to indicate that action is needed, but the situation is not serious now.
• 5 = Major — Is used to indicate that action is needed NOW.
• 6 = Critical — Is used to indicate that action is needed NOW and the scope is broad (perhaps
an imminent outage to a critical resource results).
• 7 = Fatal/Non recoverable — Is used to indicate that an error occurred, but it is too late to
take remedial action.
