Property Description
Possible values are:
• 1 = Other — The Indication's OtherAlertType property conveys its
classification. Use of Other in an enumeration is a standard CIM
convention. It means that the current Indication does not fit 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 specific 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 identification number for events of this type.
IndicationIdentifier
An identifier for the Alert indication. This property is similar to a key
value in that it can be used for identification, 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 identifies 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 defining 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
