Property Description
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = OK
• 3 = Degraded
• 4 = Stressed — Indicates that the element is functioning, but
needs attention. Examples of Stressed states are overload,
overheated, and so on.
• 5 = Predictive Failure — Indicates that an element is functioning
nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
• 6 = Error
• 7 = Non-Recoverable Error
• 8 = Starting
• 9 = Stopping
• 10 = Stopped — Implies a clean and orderly stop.
• 11 = In Service — Describes an element being configured,
maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
• 12 = No Contact — Indicates that the monitoring system has
knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish
communications with it.
• 13 = Lost Communication — Indicates that the ManagedSystem
Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in
the past, but is currently unreachable.
• 14 = Aborted — Implies an abrupt stop where the state and
configuration of the element may need to be updated.
• 15 = Dormant — Indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
• 16 = Supporting Entity in Error — Indicates that this element may
be OK but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in
error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot
function due to lower-layer networking problems.
• 17 = Completed — Indicates that the element has completed its
operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or
Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation
Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or
Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not
complete OK or did not report an error).
• 18 = Power Mode — Indicates that the element has additional
power model information contained in the Associated
PowerManagementService association.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
PossibleStates
Enumerates the string outputs of the Sensor. For example, a Switch
Sensor may output the states On, or Off. Another implementation of
the Switch may output the states Open, and Close. Another example
is a NumericSensor supporting thresholds. This Sensor can report the
states like Normal, Upper Fatal, Lower Non-Critical, and so on. A
NumericSensor that does not publish readings and thresholds, but
stores this data internally, can still report its states.
PrimaryStatus
Provides a high level status value, intended to align with Red-Yellow-
Green type representation of status. It should be used in conjunction
