Class CIM_AlertIndication
extends CIM_ProcessIndication

A concrete superclass for CIM Alert notifications. An AlertIndication is a specialized type of CIM_Indication that contains information about the severity, cause, recommended actions and other data of a real world event. This event and its data may or may not be modeled in the CIM class hierarchy.

AlertingManagedElementstring
DescriptionstringThe identifying information of the entity (ie, 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.None TRANSLATABLE= true
AlertTypeuint16
DescriptionstringPrimary classification of the Indication. The following values are defined: 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.None TRANSLATABLE= true

IndicationIdentifierstring
DescriptionstringAn identifier for the AlertIndication. This property is similar to a key value in that it can be used for identification, when correlating AlertIndications (see the CorrelatedIndications array). Its value should be unique as long as Alert correlations are reported, but may be reused or left NULL if no future AlertIndications will reference it in their CorrelatedIndications array.None TRANSLATABLE= true

DescriptionstringHolds the value of the user defined severity value when 'Severity' is 1 ("Other").None TRANSLATABLE= true
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_AlertIndication.PerceivedSeverityNone None
PerceivedSeverityuint16
DescriptionstringAn enumerated value that describes the severity of the AlertIndication 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 AlertIndication is purely informational or its severity is simply unknown.None TRANSLATABLE= true
