Class CIM_LogRecord
extends CIM_ManagedElement

The LogRecord object can describe the definitional format for entries in a MessageLog, or can be used to instantiate the actual records in the Log. The latter approach provides a great deal more semantic definition and management control over the individual entries in a MessageLog, than do the record manipulation methods of the Log class. It is recommended that the data in individual Log entries be modeled using subclasses of LogRecord, to avoid the creation of LogRecords with one property (such as RecordData) without semantics. Definitional formats for LogRecords could be specified by establishing a naming convention for the RecordID and MessageTimestamp key properties.

RecordIDstring
DescriptionstringRecordID, with the MessageTimestamp property, serve to uniquely identify the LogRecord within a MessageLog. Note that this property is different than the RecordNumber parameters of the MessageLog methods. The latter are ordinal values only, useful to track position when iterating through a Log. On the other hand, RecordID is truly an identifier for an instance of LogRecord. It may be set to the record's ordinal position, but this is not required.None TRANSLATABLE= true
