Versionstring2.6.0CIM_ProcessIndication
UMLPackagePathstringCIM::EventCIM_ProcessIndication
DescriptionstringAn abstract superclass for specialized Indication classes, addressing specific changes and alerts published by providers and instrumentation. Subclasses include AlertIndication (with properties such as PerceivedSeverity and ProbableCause), and SNMPTrapIndication (which recasts Traps as CIM indications).CIM_ProcessIndication

UMLPackagePathstringCIM::EventCIM_Indication
DescriptionstringCIM_Indication is the abstract root class for all notifications about changes in schema, objects and their data, and about events detected by providers and instrumentation. Subclasses represent specific types of notifications. To receive an Indication, a consumer (or subscriber) must create an instance of CIM_IndicationFilter describing the criteria of the notification, an instance of CIM_ListenerDestination describing the delivery of the notification, and an instance of CIM_IndicationSubscription associating the Filter and Handler.CIM_Indication

Property Qualifiers

Property IndicationIdentifier Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringAn 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 <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in IndicationIdentifier must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. <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 re-used across any IndicationIdentifiers that are produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm should be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.CIM_Indication

Property IndicationTime Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe 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 IndicationTime may be the same for two Indications that are generated in rapid succession.CIM_Indication

Property PerceivedSeverity Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringAn enumerated value that describes the severity of the Indication from the notifier's point of view: 1 - Other, by CIM convention, is used to indicate that the Severity's value can be found in the OtherSeverity property. 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. 2 and 0 - Information and Unknown (respectively) follow common usage. Literally, the Indication is purely informational or its severity is simply unknown.CIM_Indication
