Class CIM_Indication





Description

CIM_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.

Properties

IdTypeRangeDescription
Key
Read Only
CorrelatedIndications string
A list of IndicationIdentifiers whose notifications are correlated with (related to) this one.
IndicationIdentifier string
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 CorrelatedIndicationsarray). Its value SHOULD be unique as long as Alert correlations are reported, but MAY be reused or left NULL if no future Indications will reference it in their CorrelatedIndications array.
IndicationTime datetime
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 that IndicationTime may be the same for two Indications that are generated in rapid succession.
OtherSeverity string
Holds the value of the user defined severity value when'PerceivedSeverity'is 1 ("Other").
PerceivedSeverity uint16
Unknown0
Other1
Information2
Degraded/Warning3
Minor4
Major5
Critical6
Fatal/NonRecoverable7
An 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'svalue 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.
