DCIM_LogEntry
Table 70. LogEntry
Property Description
CreationTimeStamp
A LogEntry may include a timestamp for the entry.
ElementName
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a
user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description
information.
NOTE: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-
friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that
the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without
inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of
LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and
ElementName properties.
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 first 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 different underlying (real-world) elements. If the
above preferred algorithm is not used, the defining 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-defined instances, the
preferred algorithm must be used with the <OrgID>set to CIM.
RecordData
A string containing LogRecord data. If the corresponding RecordFormat property is
<empty>, or cannot be parsed according to the recommended format, RecordData
should be interpreted as a free-form string. If the RecordFormat property contains
parseable format information (as recommended in the RecordFormat Description
qualifier), the RecordData string SHOULD be parsed in accordance with this format.
In this case, RecordData SHOULD begin with the delimiter character and this
character SHOULD be used to separate substrings in the manner described. The
RecordData string can then be parsed by the data consumer and appropriately
typed.
RecordFormat
A string describing the data structure of the information in the property,
RecordData. If the RecordFormat string is <empty>, RecordData should be
interpreted as a free-form string.
To describe the data structure of RecordData, the RecordFormat string should be
constructed as follows:
RecordID
RecordID may be used to provide a representation of log entry ordering or pointers/
handles for log entries.
