EVENTS
This section provides information about events. Table 1-7 lists Dell OMCI Event classes and properties.
Table 1-7: Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation Event Classes and Properties
Dell_Indication
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 not a CIM instance, the property contains some identifying string that names the entity for which the Alert is generated.
AlertType Primary classification of the Indication.
The following values are defined:
1 = Other. The Indication's Other alert type 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.
CorrelatedIndications A list of Indication identifiers whose notifications are correlated with (related to) this one.
Description A short description of the Indication.
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.
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 that indication time may be the same
for two Indications that are generated in rapid succession.
MaxDisplayNotifications The maximum number of indications of this type that will be sent to the local display.
MaxNTEventLogNotifications The maximum number of indications of this type that will be sent to the NT Event Log.
MaxRemoteNotifications The maximum number of indications of this type that will be sent to remote subscribers.
OccurrencesCount The number of indications of this type that have occurred.
OtherAlertType A string describing the Alert type - used when the Alert type property is set to 1, "Other State Change".
OtherSeverity Holds the value of the user defined severity value when 'Severity' is 1 ("Other").
PerceivedSeverity An enumerated value that describes the severity of the Alert indication:
0 = Unknown
1 = Other, by CIM convention, is used to indicate that the Severity's value can be found in the other severity property.
2 = Information
3 = Degraded/Warning should be used when its appropriate to let the user decide if action is needed.
4 = Minor should be used to indicate action is needed, but the situation is not serious at this time.
5 = Major should be used to indicate action is needed NOW.
6 = Critical should be used to indicate action is needed NOW and the scope is broad (perhaps an imminent outage to a critical resource will result).
7 = Fatal/NonRecoverable should be used to indicate an error occurred, but it's too late to take remedial action.
ProbableCause An enumerated value that describes the probable cause of the situation which resulted in the alert indication.
The following values are defined:
0 = Unknown
1 = Other
2 = Adapter Error
3 = Application Subsystem Failure
4 = Bandwidth Reduced
5 = Connection Establishment Error
6 = Communications Protocol Error
7 = Communications Subsystem Failure
8 = Configuration/Customization Error
9 = Congestion
10 = Corrupt Data
11 = CPU Cycles Limit Exceeded
12 = Dataset/Modem Error
13 = Degraded Signal
14 = DTE-DCE Interface Error
15 = Enclosure Door Open
16 = Equipment Malfunction
