System(s)
• .. = DMTF Reserved
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the 
future.
LowerThresholdCritic
al
The Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and max values) for determining 
whether the Sensor is operating under Normal, NonCritical or Critical conditions. The 
CurrentState is Critical once the CurrentReading is below LowerThresholdCritical.

Windows, Linux
LowerThresholdNonC
ritical 
The Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and max values) for determining 
whether the Sensor is operating under Normal, NonCritical, Critical conditions. If Current 
Reading is between LowerThresholdNonCritical and Upper ThresholdNonCritical, then the 
Sensor is reporting a normal value. If CurrentReading is between 
LowerThresholdNonCritical and LowerThresholdCritical, then the CurrentState is 
NonCritical.
Example for Set command: wmic /namespace:\\root\dcim\sysman path 
dcim_numericsensor Where ElementName like '%Temperature Sensor:%' set 
LowerThresholdNonCritical = 
30. This sets the all temperature probes (lower threshold 
non critical) in the system to 30 degree Celsius.

NormalMax
NormalMax provides guidance for the user as to the normal maximum range for the 
NumericSensor.
Linux
NormalMin
NormalMin provides guidance for the user as to the normal minimum range for the 
NumericSensor.

OperationalStatus
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. 
Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = OK
• 3 = Degraded
• 4 = Stressed — Indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. 
Examples of 
Stressed states are overload, overheated, and so on.
• 5 = Predictive Failure — Indicates that an element is functioning nominally but 
predicting a failure in the near future.
• 6 = Error
• 7 = Non-Recoverable Error
• 8 = Starting
• 9 = Stopping
• 10 = Stopped — Implies a clean and orderly stop
• 11 = In Service — Describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or 
otherwise administered.
• 12 = No Contact — Indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this 
element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
• 13 = Lost Communication — Indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to 
exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
• 14 = Aborted — Implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the 
element may need to be updated.
• 15 = Dormant - Indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
• 16 = Supporting Entity in Error — Indicates that this element may be OK but that 
another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service 
or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
• 17 = Completed — Indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value 
should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the 
complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or
