DCIM_AlertIndication

Property	Description
AlertingElementFormat	The format of the AlertingManagedElement property is interpretable based on the value of this property. Possible values are: 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 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.
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.
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 it is appropriate to let the user decide if action is needed. 4 = Minor — Is used to indicate that action is needed, but the situation is not serious now. 5 = Major — Is used to indicate that action is needed NOW. 6 = Critical — Is used to indicate that action is needed NOW and the scope is broad (perhaps an imminent outage to a critical resource results). 7 = Fatal/Non recoverable — Is used to indicate that an error occurred, but it is too late to take remedial action.
ProbableCause	An enumerated value that describes the probable cause of the situation that resulted in the AlertIndication. Possible values are: 0 = Unknown 1 = Other 2 = Adapter/Card 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 17 = Excessive Vibration 18 = File Format Error 19 = Fire Detected 20 = Flood Detected 21 = Framing Error 22 = HVAC Problem 23 = Humidity Unacceptable 24 = I/O Device Error 25 = Input Device Error 26 = LAN Error 27 = Non-Toxic Leak Detected 28 = Local Node Transmission Error 29 = Loss of Frame 30 = Loss of Signal 31 = Material Supply Exhausted 32 = Multiplexer Problem 33 = Out of Memory 34 = Output Device Error 35 = Performance Degraded 36 = Power Problem 37 = Pressure Unacceptable 38 = Processor Problem (Internal Machine Error) 39 = Pump Failure 40 = Queue Size Exceeded 41 = Receive Failure 42 = Receiver Failure 43 = Remote Node Transmission Error 44 = Resource at or Nearing Capacity 45 = Response Time Excessive 46 = Retransmission Rate Excessive 47 = Software Error 48 = Software Program Abnormally Terminated 49 = Software Program Error (Incorrect Results) 50 = Storage Capacity Problem 51 = Temperature Unacceptable 52 = Threshold Crossed 53 = Timing Problem 54 = Toxic Leak Detected 55 = Transmit Failure 56 = Transmitter Failure 57 = Underlying Resource Unavailable 58 = Version MisMatch 59 = Previous Alert Cleared 60 = Login Attempts Failed 61 = Software Virus Detected 62 = Hardware Security Breached 63 = Denial of Service Detected 64 = Security Credential MisMatch 65 = Unauthorized Access 66 = Alarm Received 67 = Loss of Pointer 68 = Payload Mismatch 69 = Transmission Error 70 = Excessive Error Rate 71 = Trace Problem 72 = Element Unavailable 73 = Element Missing 74 = Loss of Multi Frame 75 = Broadcast Channel Failure 76 = Invalid Message Received 77 = Routing Failure 78 = Backplane Failure 79 = Identifier Duplication 80 = Protection Path Failure 81 = Sync Loss or Mismatch 82 = Terminal Problem 83 = Real Time Clock Failure 84 = Antenna Failure 85 = Battery Charging Failure 86 = Disk Failure 87 = Frequency Hopping Failure 88 = Loss of Redundancy 89 = Power Supply Failure 90 = Signal Quality Problem 91 = Battery Discharging 92 = Battery Failure 93 = Commercial Power Problem 94 = Fan Failure 95 = Engine Failure 96 = Sensor Failure 97 = Fuse Failure 98 = Generator Failure 99 = Low Battery 100 = Low Fuel 101 = Low Water 102 = Explosive Gas 103 = High Winds 104 = Ice Buildup 105 = Smoke 106 = Memory Mismatch 107 = Out of CPU Cycles 108 = Software Environment Problem 109 = Software Download Failure 110 = Element Reinitialized 111 = Timeout 112 = Logging Problems 113 = Leak Detected 114 = Protection Mechanism Failure 115 = Protecting Resource Failure 116 = Database Inconsistency 117 = Authentication Failure 118 = Breach of Confidentiality 119 = Cable Tamper 120 = Delayed Information 121 = Duplicate Information 122 = Information Missing 123 = Information Modification 124 = Information Out of Sequence 125 = Key Expired 126 = Non-Repudiation Failure 127 = Out of Hours Activity 128 = Out of Service 129 = Procedural Error 130 = Unexpected Information
