Versionstring2.6.0 CIM_ClassCreation
DescriptionstringCIM_ClassCreation notifies when a new class is defined in the schema. CIM_ClassCreation
Indicationbooleantrue CIM_ClassCreation
DescriptionstringCIM_ClassIndication is an abstract superclass describing changes in the definition of the schema. Subclasses represent specific types of change notifications, such as class creation, deletion and modification. CIM_ClassIndication
Indicationbooleantrue CIM_ClassIndication
Indicationbooleantrue CIM_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.

Requiredbooleantrue CIM_ClassIndication
DescriptionstringThe current definition of the class that is created, changed or deleted in the schema. In the case of a CIM_ClassDeletion Indication, the definition for the class just prior to deletion should be placed in this property. CIM_ClassIndication

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 Alert correlations are reported, but MAY be reused or left NULL if no future Indications will reference it in their CorrelatedIndications array. CIM_Indication

Property CorrelatedIndications Qualifiers

DescriptionstringA list of IndicationIdentifiers whose notifications are correlated with (related to) this one. 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
