NameSpace of this instance.
For DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm should be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.
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.
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 elements uniquely identified by the MessageID in a
message registry or other catalog associated with the OwningEntity.
MessageArguments An array containing the dynamic content of the message.
MessageID A string that uniquely identifies, within the scope of the OwningEntity, the format of the Message.
OtherAlertingElementFormat
A string defining "Other" values for AlertingElementFormat. This value MUST be set to a non NULL value when AlertingElementFormat is set to a value of 1 ("Other"). For all other values of AlertingElementFormat, the
value of this string must be set to NULL.
OtherAlertType A string describing the Alert type - used when the AlertType property is set to 1, "Other State Change".
OtherSeverity Holds the value of the user defined severity value when 'PerceivedSeverity' is 1 ("Other").
OwningEntity
A string that uniquely identifies the entity that owns the definition of the format of the Message described in this instance. OwningEntity MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned
by the business entity or standards body defining the format.
PerceivedSeverity
An enumerated value that describes the severity of the Alert Indication from the notifier's point of view:
Possible values are:
2 and 0 - Information and Unknown (respectively) follow common usage. Literally, the AlertIndication is purely informational or its severity is unknown.
1 = Other - By CIM convention, is used to indicate that the Severity's value can be found in the OtherSeverity property.
3 = Degraded/Warning - Is used when its appropriate to let the user decide if action is needed.
4 = Minor - Is used to indicate action is needed, but the situation is not serious at this time.
5 = Major - Is used to indicate action is needed NOW.
6 = Critical - Is used to indicate action is needed NOW and the scope is broad (perhaps an imminent outage to a critical resource will result).
7 = Fatal/Non recoverable - Is used to indicate an error occurred, but it is too late to take remedial action.
An enumerated value that describes the probable cause of the situation that resulted in the AlertIndication.
Possible values are:
0 = Unknown
1 = Other
