Property Description Supported

System(s)
EventID
An instrumentation or provider-specific 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 defined for Alert Indications with
identical, non NULL values of
SystemCreateClassName, SystemName, and
ProviderName.

IndicationIdentifier
An identifier for the Indication. This property is
similar to a key value in that it can be used for
identification, 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 IndicationIdentifier 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 IndicationIdentifier 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
first colon to appear in IndicationIdentifier must
appear between <OrgID>and <LocalID> is chosen
by the business entity and should not be re-used
to identify different underlying (real-world)
elements. If the above preferred algorithm is not
used, the defining entity should assure that the
resulting IndicationIdentifier is not reused across
any IndicationIdentifiers that are produced by this
or other providers for the NameSpace of this
instance.
Microsoft Windows
IndicationTime
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 specified in the
MessageArguments property with the static
