Property Description
instance is modeled in the CIM Schema. If 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.
ElementName
The user-friendly name for this instance of SettingData. In addition, the user-friendly name
can be used as an index property for a search or query.
NOTE: The name does not have to be unique within a namespace.
EventID
The identication number for events of this type.
IndicationIdentier
An identier for the Alert indication. This property is similar to a key value in that it can be
used for identication, when correlating Alert indications (see the Correlated indications
array). Its value should be unique as long as Alert correlations are reported, but may be
reused or left NULL if no future Alert indications will reference it in their Correlated
indications array.
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely
identies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value
of InstanceID 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 creating or dening the InstanceID or that is a registered ID 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, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the rst colon
to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID> . <LocalID> is chosen
by the business entity and should not be reused to identify dierent underlying (real-world)
elements. If the above preferred algorithm is not used, the dening entity must assure that
the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other
providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-dened instances, the preferred
algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.LocalOnly.
