Table 1. AlertIndication (continued)
Property Description Supported
Operating
System(s)
● 0 = Unknown—The format is unknown or
not meaningfully interpretable by a CIM client
application.
● 1 = Other—The format is defined by the value
of the OtherAlertingElementFormat property.
● 2 = CIMObjectPath—The format
is a CIMObjectPath, with format
NamespacePath:ClassName.Prop1 = Value1,
Prop2=Value2, . . . specifying an instance in
the CIM Schema.
AlertingManagedElement The identifying information of the entity (that
is, the instance) for which this Indication is
generated. The property contains the path of an
instance, encoded as a string parameter—if the
instance is modeled in the CIM Schema. If it is
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 classification of the Indication. 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 that
are described by this enumeration.
● 2 = Communications Alert—An Indication of
this type is principally associated with the
procedures and/or processes that are 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.
